Deal Breakdowns

My least favorite saying in real estate: “If you aren’t a buyer at these prices then you should be a seller.”It simply isn’t true.Transacting real estate is extremely expensive and time consuming.

If you’re pissed off with a co-workers performance or the management style of a boss you have two options: 1) blab around the office and complain about it. 2) go to your boss and discuss it. #1 wont change anything and will likely get you fired. #2 probably won’t change anything but at least you’ll […]

Most small businesses can rank high on Google with a well structured website and 1 thing: Backlinks. No links -> no domain authority -> no ranking. Want to increase your domain authority […]

A quick sponsorship before we dive in: I got the annual premium on my 63 self storage facilities reduced from $380k to $280k AND got better insurance. I switched to Titan Risk as my property insurance brokerage. Set up a call if you own commercial real estate and your renewal is approaching! I’m an investor in the […]

Tax season (for me) is here and my final income tax bill will be $0 for one main reason – Cost Segregation Studies and bonus depreciation. DO NOT FORGET TO GET COST SEGREGATION STUDIES DONE ON YOUR REAL ESTATE. The folks at RE Cost Seg have already delivered my cost segs this year and the depreciation is mouth […]

I’ve hired 30 employees outside of the USA with the help of Shepherd and it has been an absolute game changer for my business. Underwriters in Colombia for $1,500 per month full time. Customer service reps with perfect english in the Philippines for $1,100 per month. Executive assistants for my construction team for $1,000 per month. If you […]
