Podcasts about Vacancy

We return this week with a special episode featuring Theo Rossi (Come with Me, Bruton, Sons of Anarchy), who sat down with us for an absurdly unhinged conversation about horror movies, practical effects, childhood nightmares, and movies that permanently damage your ability to sleep throughthe night. A Staten Island native, Rossi brought his own history with horror into the conversation, with discussing growing up in the 1980s seeing films like The Howling, The Omen, being terrified by A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the completely rational childhood decision to put a giant Freddy Krueger poster above his bed as a form of psychological warfare against his own nightmares. Naturally, it didn't go as planned. We celebrate our love of what makes horror scary, comparing supernatural monsters and traditional slashers with the more realistic, cerebral terror of The Strangers, Vacancy, and The Poughkeepsie Tapes, along with why Achilles tendon injuries might just be the most skin crawling thing in horror. It wouldn't be a CREEP-O-RAMA episode without random tangents, either. From discussing the upcoming AI meets Mad Max apocalypse, Antarctica, aliens, and why the correct survival strategy for the end of civilization is to equip the appropriate boots, this episode's got em'. Join us as we gush blood over our favorite horror tropes, VHS nostalgia, and a childhood filled with monsters come to life.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CREEP-O-RAMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creep-o-rama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joshblevesque⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bargainbinblasphemy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@imfigure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stranjlove

Headlines about vacant office buildings and deserted downtowns is old news. The return to office, in downtown Toronto especially, is back on. Vacancy rates have plummeted, commute-fuelled traffic is up and businesses are scrambling to find more space for their workers.Globe reporter Jason Kirby takes us behind the numbers, the return-to-office mandates and what this post-pandemic shift tells us about the future of work.Questions?

The case for more retail investment is getting harder to deny.Retail real estate has spent years proving its strength. Vacancy is tight, rents are growing and recent performance has outpaced other major commercial real estate asset classes. Yet retail still accounts for just 13% of institutional real estate holdings.So why hasn't capital caught up?CBRE's Karly Iacono and Chris Ressa look at the disconnect between retail's compelling fundamentals and its relatively small share of institutional investment. The opportunity is there, but retail isn't an easy asset class to understand from a spreadsheet.Co-tenancy, exclusives, tenant sales, market rents and local dynamics all influence how a shopping center performs. Two centers across the street from each other can support very different rents based on traffic, tenant performance and the strength of the individual property. Understanding those differences requires more than access to data. It requires knowing what the data means and having the ability to act on it.That's where the operator becomes increasingly important.As institutional investors look to increase their exposure to retail, operating partners can provide the market knowledge, retailer relationships and execution needed to turn an investment thesis into actual NOI growth. Chris argues that we're in the “age of the operator,” where simply owning the right asset may not be enough.And the fundamentals continue to strengthen the argument. Rent spreads are growing without sacrificing occupancy, quality retail inventory remains limited and there may still be significant room for rents and NOI to grow.The fundamentals are there. Now it's a matter of who knows how to capitalize on them.What You'll HearWhy retail remains underallocated despite stronger fundamentalsHow co-tenancy risk is changing for landlords and investorsWhy operational expertise is key to unlocking valueHow tenant sales and data shape market rentWhy local market knowledge can make or break a dealHow operating partners help institutions get comfortable with retailWhy retail may still have significant room to runChapters01:16 - Why is retail still underallocated?Retail fundamentals are strong, but institutional ownership still trails multifamily and industrial.04:42 - The 13% allocation gapRetail represents just 13% of institutional holdings, even as recent performance has outpaced other asset classes.07:45 - Is co-tenancy risk overstated?Why the details inside the lease matter more than the presence of a co-tenancy clause itself.12:16 - Where operational complexity creates valueThe challenge isn't simply running a retail asset. It's executing the plan needed to unlock its upside.16:04 - What is market rent, really?How tenant sales and property performance can drive different rents at shopping centers across the street from each other.18:46 - Having the data vs. understanding itWhy access to retail data only goes so far without the expertise to interpret and execute on it.19:19 - Why local market knowledge mattersThe opportunity in secondary markets, local tenants and the relationships that can't always be captured in underwriting.23:30 - The age of the operatorWhy institutional investors are turning to operating partners and JVs to execute their retail investment strategies.26:02 - What institutional capital wants to buyFrom grocery-anchored centers to power centers, why deal type, location and quality still shape where capital moves.29:35 - Does retail still have room to run?Strong rent spreads, occupancy and NOI growth make the case for more institutional capital moving into retail

What You Need To Know Before Investing in a New City How do you know whether a city is actually a good place to invest in real estate? A market can have cheap houses. It can have great-looking cash flow. Population might be increasing. Property values might be rising. And it can still be a terrible place to build a long-term rental portfolio. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby answer a question from listener Carmen: What do you look for when deciding whether to invest in a new city? Wayne breaks down five of the major factors he looks at before putting money into a new real estate market. The goal is not simply finding the city with the highest appreciation or cheapest properties. The goal is finding a market where you can buy a profitable rental business, operate it successfully, and have confidence that it can remain sustainable for the next 20 years. The Framework Comes Before the City Wayne explains that he does not start by falling in love with a city and then trying to make the numbers work. He starts with his investment framework. Then he asks: Does this market fit? If it does not fit the fundamentals, he moves on. Gabby describes it as trying to fit the correct peg into the correct hole. You do not start sanding the corners off because you really want the deal to work. The standards stay the same. The market either meets them or it does not. 1. Landlord and Tenant Laws One of Wayne's first considerations is the legal environment where the rental business will operate. A city can have: Great cash flow. Strong population growth. Excellent rents. Good appreciation potential. Low vacancy. And attractive properties. But if the landlord and tenant laws prevent you from operating the rental business effectively, that can be enough for Wayne to walk away. Wayne uses Ontario as an example. Issues such as restrictions surrounding lease termination, rent increases and lengthy dispute processes can materially change the risk profile of owning rental property. Gabby makes an important point: Managing the property properly is how you ultimately make money. You can make money when you buy. You can have great appreciation. You can have positive cash flow. But poor operations can destroy all of it. Wayne wants to know that both landlord and tenant are held accountable to the agreement they signed and that there is a reasonably efficient process when somebody does not fulfil their obligations. Before researching individual cities, understand the landlord and tenant laws of the province. 2. Cash Flow Potential Cash flow is one of the most important filters Wayne uses. If the type of property he wants to purchase cannot generate sufficient cash flow in that market, he will not buy there. Why? Because Wayne does not view rental real estate as simply purchasing an asset and hoping its value increases. He is buying an asset and operating a business from it. A business consistently spending more every month than it generates is not attractive simply because the building might eventually appreciate. Cash flow is also Wayne's primary risk mitigator. The greater the cash-flow cushion, the more room the investment has to absorb things outside the investor's control: Higher interest rates Vacancy Lower rents Increasing expenses Job losses Economic changes Unexpected repairs Wayne uses the 5% Rule™ Cash Flow Test as a minimum standard for evaluating this. Understand the Specific Neighbourhood Do not simply search: "What is the average rent in this city?" That is not enough. Different neighbourhoods attract different tenants. Different property types command different rents. One side of a city may perform very differently from another. Wayne and Gabby recommend researching the actual properties competing with the one you intend to purchase. Wayne gives an example from recent market-rent research. There were only a handful of comparable rentals available, and his property was clearly superior to the competition. Instead of simply copying the average asking rent, he decided the property could justify charging more. Market rent is not just a statistic. It is the price your property can command relative to the alternatives available to tenants. 3. Market Size Small towns can sometimes produce incredible-looking cash flow. Properties can be inexpensive. There may be almost no rental competition. Rents may appear exceptionally strong relative to purchase prices. That can be tempting. But Wayne sees a major problem: Sustainability. Everything can look fantastic while the town is booming. Then one employer closes. One construction project ends. One mine shuts down. One mill disappears. One economic event hits the dominant industry. Suddenly the rental demand that supported your investment disappears. Wayne generally prefers major cities with populations of approximately 500,000 or more. That is not a universal rule for every investor. It is his preference because larger markets generally provide more diversification and resilience. What About Smaller Cities Around Major Centres? Gabby adds an important exception. Smaller communities immediately surrounding a major metropolitan area can function as extensions of the larger city. Examples around Edmonton include: St. Albert Sherwood Park Spruce Grove Beaumont Residents may live there while still working, shopping and participating economically in the larger metropolitan area. Sometimes those communities offer lower purchase prices while maintaining similar rental demand. The important distinction is whether the smaller community has a genuinely diversified economic connection to the larger centre or exists primarily because of one local employer. 4. Industries and Employment Once Wayne identifies a potential market, he wants to understand: Why do people live there? Where are the jobs? How much do those jobs pay? Are those jobs sustainable? Are more jobs being created? Is the city dependent on one employer or industry? A market dominated by a single mill, mine, manufacturing plant or temporary infrastructure project creates more risk. If that employer disappears, the rental market can change extremely quickly. Wayne prefers markets with diversified employment and industries capable of producing good-paying, long-term jobs. Temporary Growth Can Fool Investors Imagine a small community suddenly gets thousands of workers because a major highway, mine, pipeline or infrastructure project is being built. Rental demand explodes. Vacancy disappears. Rents increase. Investors see the numbers and rush in. But what happens when construction finishes? If those workers leave and there is no permanent economic reason for people to remain, the rental demand can disappear just as quickly as it arrived. Wayne wants investments that can survive for 20 years. Not just the next construction cycle. 5. Population Growth and Migration Population growth is another major factor. More people moving into a city creates additional demand for housing. Initially, many newcomers rent. Eventually, some become homeowners. That can create pressure on both: Rental demand and Real estate values. Wayne wants to study the history of population growth and net migration. But historical numbers are not enough. He also looks forward. What projects are being announced? What employers are expanding? What new industries are arriving? What infrastructure is being built? What will cause people to move there over the next five, ten or twenty years? Follow the Jobs Wayne gives a theoretical example of a major new project creating thousands of construction jobs followed by thousands of permanent jobs. During construction, many workers may become renters. That puts pressure on rental supply. Later, some of those workers may take permanent jobs and become homebuyers. If you own the right type of property, you can potentially benefit from both phases. First, strong rental demand. Later, increased homebuyer demand for the same type of property. That is exactly the kind of long-term market dynamic Wayne looks for. Real Estate Prices Going Up Is Not Enough A city can have rapidly increasing real estate prices and still be a poor rental market. Gabby discusses communities where outside buyers drove prices higher while local residents increasingly struggled to afford either rents or homes. That creates a disconnect. Wayne repeatedly comes back to the same principle: You are not simply buying a box and hoping the box becomes more valuable. You are operating a business from the property. The market needs to support that business. The Five Filters When Wayne begins evaluating a new real estate market, five of the major things he considers are: Landlord and tenant laws Cash flow potential Market size Industries and employment Population growth and migration These five factors are only the beginning. Once a market passes those filters, deeper due diligence begins. What neighbourhoods? What asset classes? What tenant profile? What vacancy? What property values? What rents? What long-term development is happening? The purpose of the first analysis is not to prove that you should invest somewhere. It is to determine whether the market deserves further investigation. A Rare BRRRR Opportunity in Edmonton Wayne and Gabby also discuss an opportunity brought to the previous night's REI Masters coaching session. One student operating a wholesaling business found an Edmonton property that Wayne believes could potentially make an excellent BRRRR. The renovation appears relatively simple, potentially around $10,000 to $20,000 in cosmetic improvements. The strategy would be: Buy the property. Complete the renovation. Increase the value. Refinance. Recover the invested capital. Then hold the property as a cash-flowing rental. Based on the analysis discussed during the coaching session, Wayne says the property performed exceptionally well on the cash-flow test. He describes opportunities like this as increasingly rare and says Edmonton has not offered many comparable BRRRR opportunities in several years. Weekly REI Masters Coaching Wayne and Gabby also share several wins and challenges discussed during their weekly REI Masters coaching session. Students are currently working through: Condo document due diligence Off-market acquisitions Wholesale assignments Joint venture partnerships Finding deals for money partners BRRRR opportunities Financing Legal issues Market selection The coaching sessions are designed around helping students solve the actual roadblocks preventing them from reaching their next objective.

What happens when the property portfolio you've spent 15 or 20 years building is worth millions, but still doesn't give you the freedom you expected?This is a problem we see regularly with successful property investors.Early in your investing journey, capital growth is often the priority. You have income, borrowing capacity and time on your side, so accepting a lower rental yield can make sense.But eventually, the question needs to change.Instead of asking “How much more property can I buy?”, you need to start asking “How do I make the wealth I've already created work harder for me?”In this episode, Tom explores the transition from growth to income and why getting the timing wrong can be costly.You'll learn why chasing passive income too early can hold back wealth creation, why residential property may not always be the best fit once income becomes the priority, and how commercial and industrial property can provide a different income profile through longer leases, rental increases and tenant-paid outgoings. Most importantly, Tom explains why growth and income aren't competing strategies. They can be two different stages of the same investment journey.Because the ultimate goal isn't to own more property.It's to build enough wealth that your assets can eventually buy back your time.Key takeaways:The property strategy that works at 35 may not be the right strategy at 55. Your investment strategy needs to evolve as your circumstances and objectives change. Don't chase income too early. If you still have strong income, borrowing capacity and plenty of time, prioritising capital growth can be the smarter move. A $2 million portfolio doesn't necessarily mean financial freedom. If the portfolio is producing only modest net income, the wealth on paper may have little impact on your ability to reduce your reliance on work. Gross rental yield can be misleading. Vacancy, maintenance, insurance, rates, management and other costs can significantly reduce the income that actually reaches the investor. Commercial and industrial property can become more compelling when income becomes the priority. Longer leases, built-in rental increases and tenant-paid outgoings can create a very different income profile. Don't let an old investment strategy dictate your next move. A property may have already delivered excellent capital growth and done exactly what you bought it to do. That doesn't mean it must remain in the portfolio forever.

Small details can have a big impact on how a shopping center looks, feels, and leases. As Beth Azor approaches the 100th and final episode of I Own a Shopping Center. Now What?, she shares more of the operating practices she considers essential for retail property owners.Beth breaks down her approach to pylon and storefront signage, why she prefers reverse lettering and individually illuminated channel letters, and why she limits temporary signs, flags, banners, and A-frames. She also explains the value of putting up “Coming Soon” signs immediately after a lease is signed.Then Beth turns to vacant spaces and the details that can make them easier to show and lease. From keeping windows uncovered and spaces impeccably clean to leaving utilities, lights, and air conditioning on, these practical decisions all support one goal: making the space more attractive and ready for the next tenant.Key Takeaways- Use reverse lettering on pylon signs for stronger visibility- Choose individually illuminated channel letters instead of raceways- Limit temporary banners, flags, A-frames, and other visual clutter- Install “Coming Soon” signs as soon as a new lease is signed- Keep vacant storefront windows open rather than covered with paper- Require black Visqueen when tenants need to cover windows during construction- Keep vacancies clean, well-lit, comfortable, and ready for tours- Leave utilities and air conditioning on when practical- Make bathrooms clean and stocked for prospects and leasing agents- Treat every vacant space like it could be shown at any momentSubscribe and hit the bell to get notified when the final episode drops.BECOME A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ROCKSTAR: https://www.bethazor.com/https://www.azoracademy.com/For more commercial real estate training: https://www.bethazor.com/training/FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/azoradvisoryservices/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bethazor1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethazor/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6315636/#retailleasing #commercialrealestateinvesting #retailleasingcoach #bethazor

What's happening in property investing news this week in Australia? It's time to find out! We remove all the fluff to bring a neatly packaged news show, designed to keep you on the ball as an Australian Property Investor. Let's see what's making property news headlines this week in Australia.

Manufactured housing gets harder to buy in California, and that is exactly why "Ali" Nasir Ali stays there. Ali is the managing director of Rise360 Ventures, a former commercial appraiser, and the second generation of his family in manufactured housing. He joins the Alternative Investing Advantage podcast with host Alex Perny to explain how rent control, vacancy decontrol, and aging infrastructure are priced into a deal rather than ruling it out.Key Points:- Regulation reduces competition. Ali argues that because most California investors want to buy out of state and most out-of-state buyers avoid California, the difficulty itself leaves more deals available to whoever stays.- Rent control ordinances can cut both ways. He describes a Southern California ordinance containing a phrase entitling an owner to an 8 percent cap on investment, which an operator spent close to two years leveraging into a substantial lot rent increase.- Vacancy decontrol is the harder constraint. In at least three California cities, an owner cannot raise lot rent to market even after a lot goes vacant, and must instead scale from the historical rent.- Park-owned homes mix two different asset types. A home in a community is personal property that depreciates like a car, so blending that income with land income creates a valuation problem, which is why Ali keeps homes in a separate entity.- Occupancy is his filter. He looks for communities around 30 to 50 percent occupied, ideally about half full, with at least 50 units or a cluster of smaller properties close enough to share management.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: manufactured housing in regulated markets01:47 Eight generations in real estate and 45 years in manufactured housing04:26 Why building new communities rarely works out08:01 Overcoming the stigma around manufactured housing11:21 What due diligence looks like in California16:14 Rent control and vacancy decontrol explained26:20 Financing and why capital is flowing into the asset class29:30 Park-owned homes versus renting the dirt37:30 What Ali looks for in a community43:08 Trailers, mobile homes, and the 1976 HUD code49:59 Underground utilities and water risk55:19 Why the heavy lift comes first59:35 How to connect with Nasir AliSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com.Learn more about our guest, "Ali" Nasir Ali: https://rise360ventures.com/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-ira https://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/ https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#ManufacturedHousing #SelfDirectedIRA

Changes to consumer behaviour have been attributed to the high rates of commercial vacancy across Clare. The latest GeoDirectory report shows Shannon's commercial vacancy rate has increased to 34.9%, and remains the highest in the country, despite the national average falling for the first time on record. Kilrush and Ennis also recorded vacancy rates above the national average, with both towns recording high numbers of retail premises among occupied units. GeoDirectory CEO Dara Keogh has been telling Clare FM's Darragh O'Grady that a wider array of options needs to be provided for consumers.

Commercial unit vacancy fell slightly in the second quarter of the year for the first time. This is since GeoDirectory began reporting the data in 2013. To bring us through the details was Dara Keogh the CEO of GeoDirectory.

Denver inventory dropped year over year for the second month straight, and the split between detached and attached is reshaping where the real deals are. This July 2026 Denver real estate market update breaks down 13,115 active listings compared to 13,995 last July, with detached homes still holding value while condos and small multifamily take the hit. For patient investors, that divide is creating some of the best entry points we’ve seen in years. Host Chris Lopez sits down with Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans, Jeff White of Envision Advisors, and Brandon Scholten of Keyrenter Denver to walk through the numbers. The panel covers a 32% value decline across 30 distressed Colorado multifamily properties, a Douglas County office building sold at a 53% discount, and a West Denver fourplex that just dropped $75,000 on ask. The group also digs into why detached properties are up nearly 5% year over year on average while attached median prices are down 2.5%. Condo financing is getting harder, HOA bankruptcies are killing deals, and Class C rents have fallen from $1,380 to the $900s in some pockets. On the rental side, metro apartment vacancy hit a 16-year high at the end of 2025, but Q2 absorption of 6,550 units against just 2,314 new deliveries is pointing to a slow recovery. In This Episode We Cover: Why Denver inventory is falling year over year again in 2026 The detached vs attached divergence and what it means for buyers How 30 Colorado multifamily properties ended up in distress Why banks are extending the pretend on bad commercial debt A West Denver fourplex with Section 8 tenants sitting well below market How to house hack past the 10 loan cap using primary financing Why fourplex house hacks still pencil in 2026 Whether you’re hunting your first house hack or looking to reposition capital into distressed multifamily, this Denver real estate market update gives you the ground-level data to make your next move in Colorado.

Retailers want to grow. The question is what they'll pay for the right space.Retailers want more stores. Vacancy remains historically low. And meaningful new retail development is still years away.So what does that mean for the next five years of retail real estate? What are the forces today that are driving the future?At the center of the August What's in Store conversation between CBRE's Karly Iacono and Chris Ressa is a fundamental supply and demand imbalance. Retailers continue to look for opportunities to grow, but the economics of large-scale new development remain challenging. Construction costs, land availability, interest rates and exit values all factor into the equation.But there is one lever that ultimately has to move to make more projects pencil: rent.And that shift is already underway.The question is how far it can go, and what happens along the way.Karly and Chris dig into what rising net effective rents and limited new supply could mean for existing retail real estate, and whether retailers have more room to pay for the locations they really want. They also explore why the physical store has become more valuable to retailers, not just as a place to generate sales, but as a critical part of how brands reach and serve their customers.The changing market is influencing more than rents. Retailers are rethinking the traditional store prototype, using better data to make decisions about where to open, how big to go and which formats make sense in different markets. The result is a much more nuanced approach to expansion, from flagships and large-format stores to smaller concepts, outlets and pop-ups.And as competition for the right space increases, the way deals get done is evolving too. Lease negotiations are changing, retailers are planning their pipelines years in advance, and both sides are looking for ways to move from opportunity to open store faster.Where does all of this lead?The conditions shaping retail real estate today could define the market for years to come. What's changing now, what still needs to change, and what it could mean for the next five years.What You'll HearWhy rents need to rise before meaningful new retail development returnsHow low vacancy is making the right locations more valuableWhy retailers are getting more intentional about where and how they growHow better data is creating more conviction around store decisionsWhy physical stores matter more than the headlines suggestHow the landlord and tenant dynamic is shiftingChapters03:10 - When does new retail development come back?Chris explains why rent, not retailer demand, is the biggest hurdle standing between today's market and meaningful new shopping center construction.05:45 - The rent growth hiding in plain sightFace rents don't tell the whole story as TI packages, retailer investment and net effective rents reshape deal economics.08:36 - Does geography change the development equation?Land availability, Sun Belt growth, interest rates and construction costs determine where new projects have the best chance of penciling.11:12 - The physical store is more valuable than the headlines suggestChris argues that the market still underestimates what stores do for retailers and their relationship with consumers.12:03 - Retail's one-prototype era is overRetailers are using data to make smarter decisions about formats, distribution, clustering and market-specific store strategies.16:41 - What younger consumers reveal about physical retailKarly's New York retail tour with her kids shows how pop-ups, flagships and social media can work together to drive real-world shopping.21:09 - Lease negotiations are moving back toward balanceAfter years of tenant-friendly movement, landlords and retailers are becoming more pragmatic about non-monetary provisions and getting deals done.24:24 - Why the store-opening timeline still needs workRetailers are planning pipelines years in advance because leases, municipalities and multiple decision-makers make timelines difficult to compress.27:02 - The lease provision seeing the biggest shiftUse restrictions have become significantly more flexible as shopping center tenant mixes continue to evolve.29:28 - The local entrepreneur has changedMore founders are thinking about scale, franchising, private equity and monetization before they even open location number one.

The Trick to Keeping Long-Term Tenants Tenant turnover can quietly become one of the biggest expenses in a rental property. Vacancy, repairs, repainting, cleaning, advertising, showings, and lost rent can quickly add up when tenants move every year. The good news is that tenant turnover is also one of the expenses landlords have the most control over. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby break down what actually keeps tenants in a rental property long term and why tenant retention can have such a major impact on profitability. The core idea is simple: If you buy the right property, attract the right tenant, price it fairly, and treat them well, there is a much greater chance they stay. And when they stay, your returns improve.

Being a great landlord is not just about being nice. It can directly affect your vacancy, tenant turnover, repair costs, rental income, and ultimately the profitability of your real estate portfolio. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby break down what it actually means to be a great landlord and why landlord quality has a much bigger impact on returns than many investors realize. The core idea is simple: If tenants feel respected, appreciated, and taken care of, they are more likely to stay longer, communicate better, treat the property properly, and renew their lease. That means fewer turnovers, less vacancy, lower costs, and better long-term returns.

US office vacancy sits at 13.8% while rents rise and inventory actually shrinks. CoStar's Phil Mobley breaks down the two-tier office market at mid-2026.  Phil Mobley, National Director of Office Analytics at CoStar Group, joins Michael Bull, CCIM to explain why the office headlines and the office market have stopped matching. National vacancy peaked at 14.1% a year ago and now sits near 13.8%, with four consecutive quarters of positive absorption totaling roughly 20 million square feet. For perspective, that full year of demand would have been one decent quarter in 2018.  The supply side is where this cycle breaks from history. New construction starts are running about 5 million square feet per quarter, a generational low, and for the past two quarters CoStar's data shows outright supply contraction: more office space is being demolished or converted than delivered, which has never happened before.  Mobley also corrects the most common misconception about the office recovery. It is not simply Class A winning and Class B losing. Trophy assets, the top 5% of inventory, are performing strongly, and solid B and B-minus buildings serving price-sensitive tenants held up better than most people assume. The real occupancy damage landed on A-minus and B-plus product caught in the middle: not distinctive enough to compete with trophy space, too expensive to compete on price. Also covered: why AI has been an unambiguous demand tailwind so far and the venture-capital risk hiding inside it, why return-to-office gains raise foot traffic without raising space needs, how New York and Dallas preview where the rest of the country is heading, why lease sizes have run 15% below pre-pandemic levels for nearly three years, and the capital markets shift as institutions climb back from 10% to 15% of office deal volume to around 20%, buying buildings to keep them as office. Plus the point every landlord should sit with: the total vacancy number is not the relevant number. Competitive vacancy is, and a landlord without capital to fund tenant improvements does not really have leasable space.

It is too easy to fudge a rental property deal sheet, sell the property to an investor, and blame the property manager when the property doesn't perform as expected.But the person that loses most in that scenario is the investor!  That's why we'll be breaking down real deal sheets in this week's Not Your Average Investor Show!JWB Co-Founder Gregg Cohen and host Pablo Gonzalez are breaking down a Memphis rental property deal and comparing it with how JWB looks at rental opportunities in Jacksonville.They'll walk through the numbers, point out what may or may not be included, and show you why monthly cash flow is only one part of the picture.You'll learn:✅ How to compare rental property deals across two different markets✅ Why two deal sheets may show expenses differently✅ Which numbers and assumptions deserve a closer look✅ How financing and property management can affect the deal✅ Why the biggest cash flow number does not always tell the whole story A good deal is not just about the city or the biggest number on the page.Listen NOW!Chapters:00:00 Deal Sheet Showdown02:04 Resident Testimonial Story03:51 Why Great PM Matters07:24 Show Origin and Disclaimers08:17 Seven Pro Forma Red Flags13:38 Memphis Deal Sheet Overview15:00 New Construction Appreciation Trick18:23 Rent Growth and PM Fee Incentives24:12 Cash Flow Table and Lease Assumptions28:14 Renewals vs Turnover Maintenance Reality31:22 Maintenance Reality Check32:30 2.5% Assumption Exposed34:30 Vacancy and Management Fees36:01 Occupancy and Renewals Matter37:06 Tax Savings Math Errors39:11 Property Tax Fact Checking40:48 Loan Payoff Confusion43:05 Appreciation and Selling Costs48:39 Right Sizing the Pro Forma50:35 Memphis vs Jacksonville Returns53:22 Equity Harvesting Strategy56:11 JWB Pro Forma Q&A01:02:58 Jacksonville Downtown Catalyst01:05:54 Community Wrap UpStay connected to us! Join our real estate investor community LIVE: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/nyai/Schedule a Turnkey strategy call: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/turnkey/ *Get social with us:*Subscribe to our channel  @notyouraverageinvestor  Subscribe to  @JWBRealEstateCompanies  

Seattle's downtown is emptying out — and the bill is landing on homeowners. Office vacancy in the city has hit crisis levels, and as commercial property values crater, the tax base quietly shifts onto residential owners already stretched thin. It's a textbook doom loop: businesses leave, assessments fall, and the people who stayed get to pay more.Katie Wilson and the progressive coalition running Seattle have no credible answer. Their policy response has been more regulation, more spending, and more rhetoric about equity — none of which fills empty office towers or halts the death spiral of a city that can't get out of its own way. The tax shift is the inevitable consequence of chasing out the businesses that were supposed to fund it all.Sean breaks down the vacancy numbers, the political deflection, and what this means for homeowners trying to hold on in a city that keeps making it harder to stay.CHAPTERS0:00 Seattle office vacancy crisis shifts…1:30 Seattle Office Vacancy Shifts Tax Burden2:19 Seattle's Payroll Tax Shed 30,000 Jobs3:46 Half of Downtown Seattle Now Vacant5:22 Seattle Eyes Capital Gains Tax Hike6:51 John Scholes on Seattle's Tax Problem8:25 What Seattle Must Do to Recover9:18 Bellevue Up 7% While Seattle Plummets10:43 Oklahoma City Plans America's Tallest…11:57 Amazon and Starbucks Leaving Seattle13:31 Mayor Wilson's Policies Drive…15:55 Empty Offices Push Seattle Rent Higher19:22 Oklahoma City's Affordable American…22:26 Crime Overruns Seattle's Chinatown…25:35 Defund Police and the Rent ReckoningSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily conservative and libertarian news commentary from the Pacific Northwest.

In this podcast episode of Calibrate: a Real Estate Podcast, Kyle Malnati invited Scott Ratthbun back for a 3rd episode but this time as a keynote speaker before a live audience at a Mastermind Event for top Real Estate Agents in Colorado. Scott Rathbun is the President and Owner of Apartment Appraisers and Consultants (AA&C) . He discusses the current state of the housing market (both for sale and multifamily rentals) in the Denver Metro Area. This episode provides valuable insights and data-driven analysis for real estate professionals and decision-makers in the Denver Metro Area, as they navigate the current market conditions and plan for the future. Here are key takeaways: Vacancy decreased 115 basis points (bps), from 7.47% last quarter to 6.32%, down 7 bps YoY. Overall vacancy (including properties in lease-up) decreased 147 bps during the quarter to 9.46% and down 142 bps YoY. Absorption of conventional apartments increased from 2,783 units in 1Q 2026 to 6,760 units in 2Q 2026. The T12 absorption increased to 14,220 units, the highest T12 figure in the 22-year history of our survey. The demand for apartments remains high due to the increasing unaffordability of homeownership, leading to a delay in the transition from renting to owning.  The apartment market has been overbuilt in year's past, resulting in rising vacancy rates and the need for landlords to offer significant concessions to attract tenants. These concessions are showing to be improving absorption and vacancy rates, but concessions still remain high.  Check out our last episode with Scott HERE: http://bit.ly/4pJhYqS

Vacant commercial space can drag down a street, but Evan Snow sees something else: a chance to make room for local artists, small businesses, and community life. As co-founder of Zero Empty Spaces, Snow helps transform empty properties into affordable artist studios and cultural hubs. He explains why closed doors do not help property owners, downtowns, or neighborhoods, and why a temporary use can still give artists a lasting foothold outside the home studio. The model works because it keeps the first step small, giving artists affordable space while helping property owners show what a vacant storefront could become. Evan will also be speaking at the Civic Leader Summit in Pensacola, Florida later this year in October.

This one was ripped straight from Molly's morning. A client in the middle of a professional crisis that went viral and personal - social media vigilantes mobilizing online, a position lost - and the conversation kept landing on a single question: when someone types your name into a search engine in June 2026, what actually comes up? Google? Social media? A Reddit thread? Or an AI-written answer you never saw coming?Linda Zebian, VP of Communications at Muck Rack and a ten-year veteran of New York Times corporate comms, has the data to answer it. Muck Rack's "What Is AI Reading?" study analyzed 25 million AI citations - "the biggest study of its kind" - and found that 99% of what AI engines cite comes from non-paid owned and earned media. All of social combined - Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube - accounts for just 2.9%. The press release your team wrote off years ago? It out-cites Reddit.Which means the reputation game has moved. SEO was a ranking on a list; GEO - generative engine optimization - is about being in the answer.

Britain should stop taxing workers and start taxing robots, according to the chief executive of one of the country's biggest recruitment firms, who says the UK's tax system is pointing in entirely the wrong direction at the worst possible moment.James Reed, CEO of Reed Recruitment, told the Big Boss Interview that the government is taxing employers who hire young people "to pick up beer glasses in gardens" whilst letting AI and automation — the technologies actively replacing those workers — go entirely untaxed. His mantra: "Back humans, tax robots." And he wants the next prime minister and chancellor to make it the centrepiece of a wholesale redesign of how Britain raises revenue.Reed argues this is not a fringe idea but an inevitability. "Taxation follows wealth," he said. "When you see these companies being valued at over a trillion, that's where the action is. So that's where the taxation should follow." He envisions transaction-based levies on AI services and automation — "rather like VAT" — or surcharges on businesses that replace human workers with machines. He acknowledged it would "take some designing" but said the principle is simple: the robots are generating the wealth, so the robots should be taxed.The urgency, he said, is driven by the collision of two forces. The first is the October 2024 budget, which Reed described as a "historic mistake." The £25 billion employers' National Insurance increase was, in his words, "a tax on jobs" that caused clients to cancel hiring within a week and has driven businesses towards automation and offshoring at precisely the moment AI makes both easier than ever. The second force is AI itself. Reed warned it is "burning through entry-level jobs," destroying opportunities for young people at a pace the country is not prepared for. He said Britain is behaving like "rabbits looking into the headlights" of these changes, with no collective strategy for what happens when the jobs disappear — and with them, the income tax, employees' National Insurance and employers' National Insurance that fund public services.Reed was unequivocal about the political response required. Asked whether there should be a new chancellor, he said: "Yes, absolutely. The incumbent made the decisions that caused the damage." He called the current period one of the toughest in his 30 years as chief executive, ranking alongside the financial crisis of 2008 and the early days of the pandemic — but worse in one respect. "In 2008 and 2020, there was a sense that we need to sort this out. I don't see that at the moment."The consequences are already visible in the data. Vacancy numbers on reed.co.uk have been in decline for three years. National statistics show vacancies have fallen from over a million to around 700,000 — fewer than before the pandemic. But it is the graduate jobs market that tells the starkest story. Graduate vacancies on Reed's platform have collapsed from 180,000 to 50,000 in four years, and are still falling. The hardest-hit group is 21 to 25-year-olds, many of whom emerged from university with degrees that have, in Reed's words, "no currency out there in the world."This led Reed to question the value of university itself. He said many graduates feel "mis-sold," that apprentices in their early twenties are now "way ahead" of their university-educated peers, and that the idea of half the country's young people attending university is "very outdated." Britain, he said, has been "ridiculously snobby about trades" — which he believes are the jobs of the future. He proposed a "three-lane superhighway" in which a third of school leavers go to university, a third do apprenticeships, and a third go straight into work with a short-term employer subsidy to help them get started.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor Henry JonesImage Courtesy of Reed Recruitment03:05 A real moment of opportunity and good opportunity for a reset. 04:18 The need for a new Chancellor 10:25 The need to change course on taxation around jobs 12:05 AI is burning through entry-level jobs 13:09 One of the toughest periods since 2008 (the financial crisis) 13:47 Back humans, tax robots 23:03 Is University still worth it? 35:40 Applicants being ghosted by employers 41:00 Spelling mistakes on CVs now positively sought after 44:01 Big tech companies need to pay more tax: "back humans, tax robots" pt 2

Thinking about turning your vacant retail space into a food hall? Beth Azor says that could be a very expensive mistake.In Episode 92 of I Own A Shopping Center Now What, Beth Azor breaks down why the rapid rise of food halls across the country may not be the opportunity many shopping center owners believe it is. While food halls appear trendy and exciting, Beth explains that most owners dramatically underestimate the population density, foot traffic, operational costs, and tenant turnover required to make them successful.Drawing from real-world examples across cities like Miami, Birmingham, and Delray Beach, Beth shares why many food hall projects struggle financially despite major investment and strong initial excitement. From repeated tenant improvement costs to reliance on local operators instead of national-credit tenants, this episode highlights why food halls are rarely the simple solution to large retail vacancies.
