@vatsalparikh33 @MillieMarconnni This makes sense. How can i get more reviews if i have a 2 sided network? A handful of clients that pay the fees, and then thousands of their customers who we face only when they are angry, so hard to get reviews, and harder to get good ones.

@elonmusk At first, I was like "damn, this is serious if the fbi is posting" then I remembered that the FBI is just a dependent puppet of Donald and Elon. Scary. And yes, I drive a model X. It's awesome.

@sweatystartup The original tenant likely moved out due to the hideousness of that tile work.

I’ve made millions of dollars selling store returns.

One company that most of us know does over $10 Billion in store returns annually.

Their return policy is super-liberal.

This creates opportunities for people like me.

And you.

Want to learn how to buy store returns from Costco?

Bookmark this post so you can refer to it when you are ready to leap.

First, the why:

Costco store returns are typically of higher quality than those of stores like Walmart or Target.

Why? I have no idea. Maybe it’s their liberal return policy or their customer base? Let me know your ideas.

This is another opportunity for you. Less headaches, less garbage to sift through.

Costco also now makes it much easier to buy their returns.

Read on to learn how.

There are a few ways to get access to Costco store returns.

There is an entire ecosystem built around handling these returns. You may see businesses near your local Costco that call themselves “Outlets” or “Wholesale” stores.

Many of these businesses' sole business model is selling returns they get from the Costco down the street.

If opening a retail store doesn’t interest you, there’s another solution.

Buy Costco’s online store returns.

Costco now uses an online auction company to handle selling their eCommerce returns.

Online sales account for about 10% ($20B) of Costco’s sales – but it is growing fast.

This is another opportunity for you to grow as Costco grows. More eCommerce sales = more eCommerce returns.

B-Stock Solutions now handles selling Costco’s online returns. Google that name, and you can create an account and get qualified to buy.

What do you need to qualify?

What should you buy, and what should you absolutely not buy?

This post is already too long.

Follow me @ShannonJean, and I will post the answers to those questions in another post shortly.

In a recent developer meeting we were discussing single family residential densities and how wide they range. Suburban developments of 4 DUA are not uncommon outside of a denser urban core, while our urban multifamily podium projects get hundreds of units / acre. Sometimes we see densities as low as 5 or 6 just a few miles from the city center, which might be a little surprising. With many of our past small lot projects, we have doubled this to 12 DUA, and in some cases tripled or quadrupled it to 18 and 24.

Here’s a closer look inside last year’s AIA Award nominated 10 West, a small lot subdivision demonstrating a density of ~25 DUA. These are fee simple, single family homes that maintain open space, light, air and privacy, while reducing environmental impact through walkability to services and transit. The density means fewer homes will need to be built outside of the city, decreasing the impact of not just 1 or 2 units, but of 10. Additional sustainable features were incorporated such as drought tolerant planting, pervious paving, high reflective roofs, radiant heat, and increased R-values at the perimeter.

The project moved through entitlement and permitting in about 9 months and was built in phases over the course of a few years. By design it was exceptionally cost effective, which helped to ensure developer ROI while maintaining design quality for the end user. Construction costs (per unit) were ~300/ft, soft costs ~50/ft and land value at ~100k. All in cost ~700k, sold for -1MM.

@Jakron @Jis4Joker @BeardownCuz Those odds dont have anything to do with the Bears. Caleb is going #1 probably to the bears, but if they don't take him they are trading out of #1. So he goes #1 either way

@TripleNetInvest What about Chicago?

@MichaelSteele I was looking forward to the rebuttal, but Katie Britt was patronizing and fake. Pissed me off.
