Send us a textCurious about commercial real estate but unsure where to start? In this enlightening conversation, commercial lending expert Kamyar demystifies the process of acquiring commercial properties and reveals why they often represent superior investments to residential real estate.The financial advantages of commercial property ownership become immediately clear as Kamyar explains the hands-off nature of management - "You're literally just getting rent every month" while tenants handle most maintenance responsibilities. This stark contrast to the constant demands of residential properties makes commercial real estate particularly attractive for investors seeking passive income streams.Before taking the commercial plunge, prospective investors should perform crucial preparation steps. Reviewing credit reports, analyzing tax returns, and understanding different qualifying ratios for owner-occupied versus investment properties form the foundation of successful commercial investing. The conversation explores various financing options, from 25-year fixed SBA loans to conventional structures amortized over decades.Tax strategies emerge as a compelling reason to consider commercial investments. Cost segregation allows accelerated depreciation, while opportunity zones offer potential elimination of capital gains taxes after ten years of ownership. "I have clients that buy one or two buildings a year just to take advantage of cost segregation," Kamyar reveals, demonstrating how savvy investors leverage these advantages to rapidly expand their portfolios.The discussion extends beyond immediate benefits to long-term legacy planning. Establishing trusts that ensure properties remain family assets across generations creates true multigenerational wealth rather than temporary prosperity. First-time investors receive practical guidance: focus locally, determine your investment goals, and leverage free resources like LoopNet to identify properties.Ready to transform your financial future through commercial real estate?

J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Kamyar Rezaie what is the biggest risk?   Kamyar Rezaie The biggest risk, which I see is because I faced in 2000, era eight era where the banks basically got hit hard, no one had money, first on the bank side or on the on consumer side. So the biggest risk in my industry is if the banks don't lend anymore, you know, then everything comes to a halt. And there will be no movement, you know, and you know, we always need money even at the higher rates, low rates, you always need money, you always have to have refinances, you always need purchases, to continue. The biggest risk is, you know, banks stop lending.

Today we're joined by Kamyar Azizzadenesheli, an assistant professor at Purdue University, to close out our AI Rewind 2021 series! In this conversation, we focused on all things deep reinforcement learning, starting with a general overview of the direction of the field, and though it might seem to be slowing, thats just a product of the light being shined constantly on the CV and NLP spaces. We dig into themes like the convergence of RL methodology with both robotics and control theory, as well as a few trends that Kamyar sees over the horizon, such as self-supervised learning approaches in RL. We also talk through Kamyar's predictions for RL in 2022 and beyond. This was a fun conversation, and I encourage you to look through all the great resources that Kamyar shared on the show notes page at twimlai.com/go/560!

We close out Mental Health Awareness in the month of MayIn this episode, I'm excited to bring a conversation with one of the most passionate, energetic, and vibrant guys I know, Kamyar Karimian, AKA Young Komet. I wanted to bring Kamyar on because I feel that his experience shows that it's ok to have 2 completely different passions, you don't have to pigeonholed into just one area. From a very young age, Kamyar was fascinated by airplanes, and to this day his YouTube channel is consistent with travel vlogs detailing not just the trips he goes on, but the plane, the seats, and a review of the aircraft itself. But that's not the only passion he has. Later in his formative years, he discovered music and creative beats, and then started to make some rap music under the name Young Komet. He explains his story of how he found both passions, how to enlarge your comfort zone to extend hobbies into passions, which falls under the Career/Purpose Category.Unfortunately, life isn't a straight line. Kamyar explains some of his mental issues he had to work through and how he overcame them, and how even if you do know your passions, life will still make you earn it. He talks about how passions gives him the energy and perseverance to continue to push through, which to me is precisely why the Career/Purpose and Mental Health categories are imperative to overall success.Please leave a like and subscribe and continue to comment your thoughts.  Also feel free to reach out on Instagram @financezilla or email me at financezilla@gmail.comHow to reach Kamyar if you want to learn more about his journey and listen to his upcoming projects:@youngkomet on Instagram Young Komet on YouTubeKamyar's recommendations:Gary Vee YT Channel - Kamyar's greatest source of inspiration, Gary is an entrepreneur and public speaker/motivator that spreads positive energy.

All across the world and the US, efforts both serious and playful are at work to widen the possibilities for futures where communities learn once more how to feed themselves with fresh and healthy food, become stronger and more resilient together, and enjoy feeling connected to the outdoors and our shared ecological life in the process. In this episode, GIA's Felix speaks with Kamyar Enshayan from UNI's CEEE on the eve of the launch of Garden in Every Lot, the latest and most ambitious gardening project looking to help grow this culture of gardening in Black Hawk County and beyond with the help of partners like the Cedar Falls Seed Library, ISU's Extension Office, Habitat for Humanity and many others.

In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin interview Armenian-American composer and performer Joseph Bohigian about his latest musical composition, “The Water Has Found Its Crack” (2020), which explores concepts of displacement, dispersion, and cultural preservation in Armenian music. The composition’s title refers to an anecdote shared by Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink about a French-Armenian woman who died while visiting the village of her youth in Turkey. When the question of where she should be buried arose, a man from the village responded “Let her be buried here...the water has found its crack.” It is a story of Armenians longing to be reunited with their indigenous land, not to take it but, in Dink’s words, “to come and be buried under it.” The discussion begins with Bohighian’s reflections about his family’s displacement during the 1915 Armenian Genocide, his upbringing in the diaspora, and his nine-month stay in Yerevan during which he wrote “The Water Has Found Its Crack.” The conversation then turns to the Armenian music theories and folk songs that influenced the piece, specifically the works of the Komitas (1869-1935), a Kütahya-born priest and musicologist widely known for documenting rural songs of the Armenian countryside. Finally, Bohigian takes us through the composition, highlighting various sections and reciting lyrics sung throughout. Visit Joseph's Soundcloud to listen to "the Water Has Found Its Crack."

Happy Nowruz/Nawriz/Navruz/Novruz/Newroz everyone! Nowruz is an ancient festival marking the arrival of Spring, celebrated across the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, South Asia, and the Balkans. Dating back at least 3,000 years, Nowruz is a celebration of rebirth and renewal, of the end of winter and the flowering of the Earth that warm weather brings. In the Iranian calendar, this Nowruz marks the beginning of the year 1398. In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin talk reflect on the first year since Ajam's successful kickstarter, which has given the project enough funds to pay writers and launch new projects.

Stefan Williamson Fa recently received his PhD in Anthropology at University College London. His research focuses on performance and lamentation rituals in Turkish-speaking Shi'i communities in Eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus.

In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin welcome back Dr. Stefan Williamson Fa to talk about the extraordinary life and music of Sufi-Flamenco star, Aziz Balouch. Stefan has re-issued Balouch's EP, *Sufi Hispano-Pakastani*, originally produced in 1962, with [Death is Not the End Records ](https://deathisnot.bandcamp.com/album/sufi-hispano-pakistani) in 2020. Dr. Williamson Fa traces Aziz's biography, from a young boy born in Baluchistan in 1910, to studying in Sindh at a sufi shrine, before making his way to Gibraltar and falling in love with Flamenco music. Balouch became a student of legendary Flamenco master, Pepe Marchena, and spent the rest of his life exploring the deep connections between Andalusian music and mystical Islam. To learn more about Dr. Willamson Fa's research on Aziz Balouch and to listen to his songs in their entirety, visit the accompanying article, "[From Sindh to Andalusia: The Life and Times of Sufi-Flamenco Star Aziz Balouch](https://ajammc.com/2021/01/11/sufi-flamenco-aziz-balouch/)" on the Ajam Media Collective website.

Happy Nowruz/Nawriz/Navruz/Novruz/Newroz everyone! Nowruz is an ancient festival marking the arrival of Spring, celebrated across the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, South Asia, and the Balkans. Dating back at least 3,000 years, Nowruz is a celebration of rebirth and renewal, of the end of winter and the flowering of the Earth that warm weather brings. In the Iranian calendar, this Nowruz marks the beginning of the year 1398. In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin talk reflect on the first year since Ajam's successful kickstarter, which has given the project enough funds to pay writers and launch new projects. They talk about what is to come in the new year, including a new film project and the return of the mixtapes series. The conversation then moved to the topic of Nowruz and how it is celebrated, before revisiting Ajam editor Beeta Baghoolizadeh's [2012 piece on Haji Firuz and race in Iran](https://ajammc.com/2012/06/20/the-afro-iranian-community-beyond-haji-firuz-blackface-slavery-bandari-music/).

In this episode, Rustin is joined by Kevan Harris, Assistant Professor of Sociology at The University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of[ A Social Revolution: Politics and the Welfare State in Iran (University of California Press, 2017)](https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520280823). Kevan challenges commonly-held notions about the ideological rigidity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He charts the development of social programs during the Pahlavi period, their continuation throughout the 1979 Revolution, and expansion during the Iran-Iraq War and Reconstruction Era. Additionally, Dr. Harris talks about the current challenges facing healthcare, social security, and other aid programs since 2009, from bureaucratic fragmentation and parallelism, austerity and sanctions, to a lack of a democratic structure for coherent policy making. Rustin closes out the episode with "Dummy Honar," a track from Kamyar's very own music project, [Yavaran](https://soundcloud.com/yavaran).
