Lisa and Amy dive into an interesting question about appraising vacant land.

Clare County Council is being urged to set about acquiring a disused piece of land in Ennis with a view to turning it into a playground or leisure area. Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly has identified an overgrown vacant site located behind St Joseph's Hospital in the centre of the Crescent estate. Ennis Municipal District says the site in question isn't in Council ownership but it can "investigate the ownership issue further with a view to legally acquiring" it if there is sufficient interest. Councillor Daly says there's scope for an amenity that would be of great benefit to residents.

A Clare TD says alterations must be made to the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant to ensure its effectiveness into the future. Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney, has called for an increase in the amount that could be awarded under the grant. Since its inception in 2022, 366 applications have been accepted in Clare with up to €50,000 available for the renovation of a vacant property and up to €70,000 for a derelict building. Speaking at a meeting of the Oireachtas Housing Committee, Deputy Cooney claims rising prices in the construction sector could jeopardise the grant's effectiveness.

It's being argued the almost 100 vacant social homes in Clare stand as a "monument to the Government's failures". Figures obtained by Sinn Féin show there are more than 2,656 council houses lying idle nationwide including 776 which have been empty for over a year. Of these, 91 are located in Clare, 18 of which have been unoccupied for more than 18 months. Speaking in the Dáil, Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan says it's more evidence the housing crisis isn't being treated as an emergency.

According to a new report, 1 in every 4 empty Council homes have been boarded up for longer than 12 months.This with nearly 3000 council homes lying empty across the country.Sinn Fein TD Thomas Gould joined Anton to discuss.

Clearer boundaries around Kāinga Ora tenant behaviour could explain a 600% surge in formal warnings. In the past 10 months, 63 tenancies were terminated because of abusive, threatening, or persistently disruptive behaviour. Nearly 1,500 warnings have been issued in the financial year to date. Chief executive Matt Crockett told Kerre Woodham behaviour isn't worse, rather the previous framework wasn't as sharp. He says clearer boundaries and more follow through now have more people's behaviour changing for the better. The fate of multiple vacant Kāinga Ora sections sitting empty will be confirmed in the next month. Multiple projects are on pause as the state housing agency re-focuses on the Government turnaround plan. This includes selling 900 older homes a year and a new build programme. Crockett told Woodham Kāinga Ora's been reviewing which areas are cost effective and serve populations. He says about 20% of its current land holdings will be sold back to the market.

When new apartment and office buildings are built, Bay Area cities often require developers to include retail space on the ground floor.

We'll talk about the challenges of filling up ground-floor retail, and if we should be changing the way we design buildings and neighborhoods.

Discover how a world-traveling gold miner turns mobile home park wizard? In this power-packed episode, Bryce Robertson—owner of 23 mobile home parks and leader of $75M in assets—unpacks how he engineered a staggering 300% portfolio growth in a single year. Discover why Bryce ditched traditional asset classes for the overlooked powerhouse of mobile home parks, how his vertically integrated model drives cash flow from day one—even at 50% occupancy—and the surprising edge of his in-house financing structure. Investors and entrepreneurs, if you want to master scalable cash flow and recession-resilient strategies, this episode is your blueprint. 5 Key Takeaways from the Episode with Bryce RobertsonWhy Mobile Home Parks Are a Cash Flow Powerhouse Bryce breaks down why mobile home parks offer superior cash flow, low operating expenses (often under 20%), strong tax benefits, and a high demand for affordable housing—making them more profitable than many traditional asset classes.The Strategy Behind Buying 50% Occupied Parks Instead of avoiding underperforming assets, Bryce seeks them out. His team buys parks at 50% occupancy and leverages in-house construction, management, and financing to stabilize and fully lease them—often starting distributions just six weeks post-acquisition.In-House Financing as a Game-Changing Advantage Facing limitations with third-party lenders, Bryce launched an in-house mobile home financing arm. This gives him full control over scaling infill operations, offers flexible terms for tenants, and generates consistent 13% preferred returns paid monthly to investors.Fund-of-Funds Capital Raising That Attracts Bigger Checks Bryce details his fund-of-fund tier system that incentivizes capital partners with escalating preferred returns (up to 10%) and equity splits—leading to exponential growth in capital partnerships, from 3 to over 20 in a single year.Navigating the Industry Shift and Scaling with Less Competition As institutional interest drives up prices, Bryce thrives in a niche few dare to enter—large-scale, heavy value-add mobile home parks. With most buyers unable or unwilling to handle the complexity, his team wins deals with minimal competition and maximum upside.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Have you ever wondered if it's actually possible to quit your job by learning how to invest in vacant land? Well, I recently interviewed a couple who did just that. Quynh and Tri Vu went from stressed-out careers in healthcare and management to building a thriving land-investing business, generating quite a bit of money in passive income. What makes their story fascinating isn't just their success; it's how they've built their entire business around a strategy that very few people even know about. Quynh and Tri sell all of their deals with owner financing, which creates huge streams of income that pay them every single month. In just 18 months, they've grown from their first deal to managing a team of 20 VAs that virtually run their entire business for them. If you're interested in copying their strategy so you can do the same thing, this is an interview you don't want to miss.What's Inside:—How Quynh and Tri Vu created a thriving land-investing business—How to generate income streams through owner financing—How to get capital when you're in a cash crunch

Today's Headlines: Fallout from the Trump administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act continues, as a judge demanded the DOJ provide a sworn timeline after officials refused to clarify whether they defied a court order halting deportations. Border czar Tom Homan dismissed the ruling, insisting deportation flights didn't need to turn around. Meanwhile, a Brown University medical professor was deported to Lebanon over alleged ties to Hezbollah, and a German green card holder was detained at an ICE facility without explanation. Trump also declared that Biden's pardons—including those for January 6th defendants, Dr. Fauci, and General Mark Milley—are invalid because they were signed using autopen, despite it being a long-standing practice. Today, Trump will speak with Putin about Ukraine's ceasefire, claiming that key aspects of a peace deal—including land divisions and power plants—are already settled. Meanwhile, over 100,000 people in Serbia protested against their pro-Russia president, prompting resignations within the government. Back in the U.S., Texas filed its first criminal abortion charges against a Houston-area woman and midwife under its 2022 ban, with penalties including heavy fines and potential prison time. In contrast, Harvard announced a major financial aid expansion, making tuition, housing, and other costs free for families earning under $200K per year.

Trump claims former President Biden used an auto-pen and accused some of the people pardoned of being behind the move, indicating they will be “fully investigated.” He's said it before and now Elon Musk is doubling down on calls to impeach judges who don't go along with his and Trump's line of thinking. Over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg got in the way of Trump's revival of the Alien Enemies Act and ordered five men to be returned to the U.S. That led Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill to announce he'd file articles of impeachment against the judge to which Musk posted on X in response, “Necessary.”When did it become necessary to oust judges for their opinions?We welcome Richard Greene the Civics Dean to talk about it.In the second hour, David Pakman joins to talk politics and tell us about his new book: The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America. The Mark Thompson Show 3/17/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

In this episode, we answer emails from Spencer, Ko and Steve.  We discuss REITs as a portfolio allocation, why vacant land is probably not a good investment for most people, "talking your book" with bitcoin for fun and profit and how it looks today in a portfolio, law school education and that infamous Cederburg paper (again but only briefly).  Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterNAREIT -- Types of REITs:  Learn about Investing and Market REIT Sectors TodayWeird Portfolio:  Weird Portfolio – Portfolio ChartsKo's Michael Saylor Video:  Michael Saylor's Big Bitcoin Prediction | Relai Bitcoin Podcast #90Amusing Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever caught yourself obsessing over a particular asset class? In this engaging episode of Risk Parity Radio, Frank Vasquez tackles three fascinating investment topics that challenge conventional wisdom while providing practical guidance for DIY investors.We begin with an exploration of REIT allocations beyond the standard 10% recommendation. Frank breaks down why correlation with broader markets matters more than yield history, why individual REITs often outperform REIT index funds for diversification purposes, and why these investments belong in retirement accounts rather than taxable brokerage accounts. A listener's cautionary tale about vacant land investing serves as a powerful reminder that illiquid, non-income-producing assets can become financial quicksand rather than solid foundations for retirement.The conversation shifts to Bitcoin's evolving role in investment portfolios. Frank cuts through the promotional noise from crypto evangelists, explaining how Bitcoin's behavior has transformed from a true diversifier to essentially "a three times leveraged QQQ fund" highly correlated with tech stocks. This critical insight helps investors properly categorize crypto within their asset allocation rather than viewing it as a separate diversifying asset class.Finally, we examine the controversial academic paper promoting 100% equity portfolios for retirees. Frank exposes the significant limitations of this research, demonstrating why seemingly groundbreaking financial theories often collapse under real-world scrutiny. Throughout the episode, Frank's pragmatic approach reminds us that successful investing requires looking beyond popular headlines and understanding the fundamental characteristics of what we own.Whether you're rethinking your REIT strategy, curious about crypto's place in your portfolio, or questioning conventional retirement wisdom, this episode offers clarity amidst the noise of financial media.
