CareScout’s 2025 Cost of Care Survey (data collected July to November 2025) puts the national median for assisted living at $6,200 a month. For nursi...

Sharing some numbers from my Q3 2026 Columbus multifamily review. Renters absorbed just over 8,000 units over the past 12 months, the highest in five years. That still covers only about 78% of the record 10,333 units delivered in the same period. Demand has been strong for three years running. It...

Anyone have a good insurance broker they would recommend for commercial property? My current broker has gone MIA on me. Hasn't responded to any of my emails in the last 2-3 weeks. Policy is up for renewal so I guess I'll shop it around myself to other brokers. Thx!

Talked with the Police, they said that was not Trespassing. We have a 6-foot fence all around. Recently a couple had an argument. She rented...
I’m curious how hard it is to make a deal with no experience. I see these courses for sale where the owner bought a 75 door apartment complex with little to no money down and is guaranteeing a deal in 90 days or they buy you a property. I forget which one said this but it caught my attention. I j...

Normally I get a Large Diet coke most mornings. Just went up from $1.59 to $1.70 today at Mc Donalds. It was $1.09 about 3 years ago. Before that it stayed at $1.09 for I think 5 years. This is my Day To Day living Inflation barometer. Just talked with our Banker today, finalizing a loan for a ne...

Each of us have our own Crystal Ball and outlooks, so not wanting to discuss which is the best or right. My crystal ball has been wrong the last 4 years and I understand why.

Normally we get 3 to 4 calls or emails in a week asking if we want to sell our Self Storage. This week was about 10. Significant rise. Although it can be irritating I will usually talk with them to get a sense of the Market from an Acquisition standpoint. Pretty even split between Family self sto...
It’s amazing the number of great deals on the market. We stay within 40 miles of our house and are in the retirement side of investing, so not a deal for us. My brother is planning to move back from Italy so he has started checking deals out. He asked me to look at a deal. Did a Quick Look. Didn’...
Personally, unless I've got something in the 3s, which I don't since most of my portfolio is commercial, I'm looking at return on equity combined with velocity of capital more than the rate itself. If I can refinance from a 4 to a 6.5 but use that money to get a 20-30% return on a value-add deal ...
