The great thing about Twitter is you can be a total rando and tweet to extremely talented and accomplished people daily. And sometimes you’ll get meaningful engagement! Here’s an exchange bw a rando and David Simon, creator and writer of The Wire, for example:
A fond memory from 2018: Seller: "I bought this building for X in 2007. You want to pay me 10% more today?" Me: "Think of it this way: you haven't put a dime in it, you hate your tenants, and you're still 'making $" 2mo later, closed at 10% less than seller's purchase price
State of the LA market: Offered 65% of list price and got a call back the same day from the listing agent
Anyone who tells you it costs “X” amount per square foot to build something, without reference to site conditions, size of average unit, finishes, etc., shouldn’t be listened to
I can’t believe that the two front runners for the 2024 presidential election are going to be even worse than 2020’s
Want to get the attention of the broker community and get a bunch of calls pitching you on new deals? Close on an on-market deal Want off-market deal flow?* Commit to the short-game, promise active brokers the re-list, and deliver (*Works best in a normal/seller’s market)
More data notwithstanding, getting an accurate read on pro forma rents (a "Most Important Thing") is still incredibly challenging, esp after a significant decline since peak rents (today) Little can be gleaned from the asking rents (which are lagging real rents) on Zillow, etc.
If you see this kind of reasoning from your GP: "We spent $300k on capex and increased NOI by $60K. This NOI is worth $1M at a 6% cap [$60k / 6%]. Therefore, using this exit cap rate, we increased the value of the building by $700k [$1M - $300K]." Run.
City of Santa Monica: we’re spending $123m to build 122 units Brokers: principals only, 1960s trophy asset, only 900k per unit, UNDER REPLACEMENT COST
Just as every novelist has their own unique voice and writing style, instantly recognizable by their avid readers, sub-institutional brokers sometimes do, too. If you've been in LA multi long enough, you'd be able to guess who this is pretty easily
Chairwoman @virginiafoxx is calling for the expulsion of students & termination of faculty at Columbia who are involved in the violent, antisemitic protests on campus. Foxx slams President Shafik & Columbia's admin for not doing enough. Full letter: edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…
This would be funny if it were not so prescient.

Because investing in real estate is typically not a get rich quick play, esp for LPs, it’s really insane to get absolutely ZERO’D out on a deal with run-of-the-mill characteristics Ok so best realistic scenario would have been mid-teens IRR and you lost it ALL?

Thread: A list of "human rights experts" and media outlets who lied to the world about the meaning of the @CIJ_ICJ order. Let's begin with a classic from @mehdirhasan, who read words into Donoghue's ruling that she herself rejects.
Joan O’Donoghue, President of Int’l Court of Justice when it made its Provisional Measures Order in SA’s case v. Israel alleging genocide, has confirmed it did not decide that SA’s claim of genocide was plausible:
Another boring Asian grind with perfect SAT’s and grades
This video is so perfect. The he/she/they pronouns, the absurd theatrics, the misuse of words, his pronunciation of “maniacal,” the confidence to record himself going nuts like this. 3.8% acceptance rate at Columbia. Whose place did Khymani take?
He blamed Jews for his antisemitism and justified ranting for hours about how he's "very comfortable" calling for the death of most Jews by claiming he "misspoke". His real complaint is that his words are making it harder to spin the open bigotry of the mob he represents.
Stop just reporting that Khymani James "apologized." He justified and excused himself throughout his statement: "context", "mispoke," "targeted by online trolls," "frustrated that my words... became a distraction." Some apology...
It is unconscionable that the head of Columbia's anti-Israel encampment said proudly & publicly that "Zionists don't deserve to live" - an explicit call for violence against Jews. It comes as no surprise that these encampments have led to multiple assaults on Jewish students. 1/2

A masked police officer arresting the Chair of the Philosophy department at Emory University for taking part in anti-genocide protests. This feels like a historic image.
Apart from anything else, Zionism is absolutely not an ideology that "necessitates the genocide of the Palestinian people", and the fact that you and a bunch of fellow students clearly believe this is a pathetic demonstration of how brainwashed you all are.
@yashar There were protests in Europe literally the day after Oct 7–long before Israel even entered Gaza
This is just not true…Israel did not have most of the world’s sympathy six months ago. From the start, the way this attack was handled by most of the world, even before the Israeli military started to respond, was different than how 9/11 was handled and how other major…
I told @TIME that Israel had most of the world’s sympathy 6 months ago, but rather than turn that into broad backing for targeted military action & diplomacy with Arab partners on its side, Israel instead decimated Gaza with indiscriminate bombing & siege. time.com/6963032/israel…
