"One of the most widespread "Value-Add" strategies in retail real estate is also the most short-sighted: "Buy the site and just build a pad." That new drive-thru's worth around $1.6M right But at what cost You're actually destroying more value than you're creating. Why"

"A former tenant just called me in desperation. He runs a small hair salon and he says the person we sold the property to years ago has now leased the area in front of the salon to a taco truck. His visibility is now totally blocked business has dropped XX% and two of his four barbers have left. He's the nicest guy in the world and operated at this location over XX years. A very unfortunate reality for retail tenants: Over XX% of strip mall owners are not professional organizations or entities with reputations to uphold. Strip mall tenants are often (sadly) at the mercy of random individuals"

"Please help me understand this. I decided on a Mercedes GLS450 for the family. The dealership I'm talking to doesn't have the specific one I'm looking for in stock - but they're able to locate other dealerships around the country who do. But they won't tell me who they are. Instead of telling me which dealerships actually have the car they want to contact a few of them directly. Then if one of those dealerships also happens to want a car that my dealership has in stock theyll swap - kind of like trading inventory. Things have to line up perfectly -- which apparently can take a few weeks if it"

"Last year we bought a XXXX% cap rate deal. To explain this we have to go back to around 2004. I was a couple years into my brokerage career and I met an investor named Danny. He'd been buying and selling strip centers for around ten years and we clicked right away. He told me he was going to teach me everything he knew. Lesson number one: Think in terms of price per foot not cap rate. Starting my investing career by looking at it this way was an absolute game-changer. Almost everybody learns the business based on cap rates but it's misguided. A cap rate values a property based on the leases"

"The Estoppel Certificate madness needs to stop. Ok this one is perhaps a bit under-the-hood but if you want to dive into a boring topic that actually has lots of implications within the industry here goes. It has a boring and intimidating name but an Estoppel Certificate is basically just a document that says: "Hey so I am the tenant and the lease I signed a while back is still valid I am current on rent there's no side agreements with the landlord and nothing crazy's going on that you should be aware of." Why are tenants asked to sign this If someone is buying a property they want to be sure"

"Looking back the two biggest things that happened early in my career that shaped the way I think as an investor: 1) The guy who taught me the business analyzed deals in terms of price per foot and not cap rate. 2) The tech investors who were my earliest LPs didnt want to take on any debt. Being able to buy all-cash allowed me to look at the real estate deal purely for its potential. I wasnt held back by debt coverage ratios and all the obstacles that stand in the way of the next great deal because you need to satisfy a lender"
