Claude is always like: Both of your employees are talking about this project, but there's something nobody's brought up so far, and it's the load bearing thing that could throw a wrench in everything. I can't ignore it anymore: One of the employees has to get lunch.

I asked a city planner what it would take to repaint this sidewalk. He said "we can't do it anymore, we wouldn't even know where to start". Please, really hoping @cd4losangeles and seal team CD4 can come rescue this intersection. Venice and Main St in Culver City
The Los Feliz Neighborhood Council alerted our office in late 2025 to the need for a crosswalk at Sunset Dr. and Bates St., which has just been completed! Thank you to our incredible CD4 Field Team for continuing to problem-solve, push for solutions, and make our streets safer.

imo these are the standard regional bank terms on small balance CRE these days: 20 year am, 5 year balloon, 80% LTV, prime to prime+0.5%

You can rent a $2.4 million house in Irvine, CA for $5,700. Let me know how that makes sense. Mortgage payment would be $16,000 a month. Prop tax is $2,580 a month, insurance and HOA is $969. With the cost of maintenance, you basically lose money even if you buy it all cash.

We recently had a banker go MIA the week of closing and not respond to email or work phone Is it fair game to hunt him down on whitepages and called him on his person cell?

Does anyone know a good hard money lender for a self-storage deal? Around $800k purchase price

Every month half of our customers' credit cards bounce for insufficient funds. It's honestly distressing that half of the population cannot make a $60 storage unit payment. I feel a lot of empathy for our customers and everyone living paycheck to paycheck.

When we sell a property, we interview several brokers, and if we don’t end up picking them, we call them to let them know and thank them for the time. For some reason, almost all brokers get mad at you, tell you you’re stupid and try to discredit whoever you picked

If you think a REIT has high fees and low transparency, just wait for our new VC backed RE ‘democratization’ platform with higher fees, no transparency, and less control over your money

Toured a storage site today with a local / beginner agent. She thought we would easily be able to fill in a nearby river with dirt and build more units on top of the river 😂

Always laugh at these emails: Immediate 1031 buyer need, value add site at existing 8% cap rate or greater in primary markets

The term 'Call for Offers' is hilarious. Someone with no offers on their property is insisting you submit one by a certain date

26 of the the most recent 35 'new number' calls to our storage facilities have been Google / Yelp scams where they say your listing is 'unverified' and press 1 to sell you some BS Google reputation consulting It's out of control
