You should talk to real estate, especially commercial real estate people. They are just as cheap, even though a commission could be $100k net or a new deal could yield $1M in profit in the next 5 years

I am also a non-technical person learning to code with GPT as my mentor. If non-techie people are willing to pay you $15 for you to write simplified summaries of programming concepts, so they can glance for 15 seconds at the occasional emai

This article is silly. Look at anything over the course of history. All buildings built in 1920 look the same. Everyone dressed the same. The author cherry picks stuff that is popular in Western culture. Of course it looks similar... it&#x2

Would be nice to have a slider to adjust the timestamp period of time. Timestamps every 3 seconds is distracting to read 4 words per line. Being able to adjust to 10/30/60 second timestamps would be nice to give you a proper parag

Look up how much he has cashed out by selling shares since 2021. I just eyeballed it and it looks he's sold at least $2-300M easy. He probably has incentive packages. I've never seen a CEO carve out incentive/future awards as

"Finally, we could try using a kitchen blender to blend the appendix into small pieces, but again, this is not a real medical procedure and should never be attempted." I think it just came up with a terrifying horror movie scene.

Oof, there were a lot of secondaries done at some pretty ridiculous valuations, multiples of the valuation before it was just cut

We did end up pursuing higher rents than what was "market", unsuccessfully. By setting a lower rent, it meant that a lender or potential buyer would underwrite that income, resulting in significantly lower valuations, making the m

I was modeling a 2-3% IRR on aggressive numbers when I last worked on it. It was acquired with a proforma 18% IRR. Whenever it's sold, it's going to return less than 1.0x. Not sure how bad the loss will be. Even if it is recapped,

IIRC the City of LA actually has its own elevator inspectors, but if I'm not mistaken CA has inspectors that cover the rest of the state. An elevator inspector told me this directly to my face, but it was some time ago so I could be a

I work in CRE. Came across a landsite where the city designated this site as surplus land about 15 years ago. It's 90k square feet and the city has an exclusive agreement with an affordable non-profit to build maybe 40 units or so. I&#

CRE guy here. A lot of this "productivity loss" is also due to government related staffing issues and bureaucracy. Most people are describing more complex building codes, so I'll add something new. I had a project that was de

I work in commercial real estate, mostly in the apartment industry. I'm about as YIMBY as they come. AirBnBs and short term rentals are terrible for housing costs. STRs incrementally take supply of housing off the market where the ow

That's not the way the system works. You spend a semester or a year going deep about Calculus, Geometry, AP Euro, or whatever. These are all things most people don't need to know unless they specialize.. Perhaps instead, we should

Subterranean parking costs $40-70k per stall A developer can only build if they can achieve a 5-6% return on total costs So 5% of $50k = $2,500 of income, or assuming 30% expenses, $2,500 / 70% margin = $3,500 of income needed per stal

Commercial real estate guy here so I'll just add a few thoughts - There is no such thing as "affordable" housing. It costs $100 to build an apartment building , and $120 to build an apartment building with nicer amenities, ap

Sorry, but you admitted you produced work that wasn't "up to par" and he gave you immediate feedback that he was no longer interested. Why does he owe an unqualified candidate more time if they can't produce the minimum
