On today’s show we are talking about the changing office environment. The Covid era created a lot of distortions. People got paid to stay home. The requirement to social distance meant that most things done elsewhere were performed at home. School was virtual. Gym classes were virtual. Meetings were virtual. Court hearings were virtual. Work was virtual.  Sure it was more fun to sit in a zoom meeting in your pyjamas. But when effective office work requires team collaboration, virtual...

On today’s show we are talking about the city that people love to hate. It’s the grittiest great city in the world. Of course I’m talking about NYC. The density of NY brings a lot of advantages. I love the fact that so much is at your fingertips. My family lived in Manhattan for many years. Then my parents decided  that it was not a good place to raise a family and they left NY when my mother was still pregnant with me. Although I’ve never lived full-time in NY, it still feels like home. I...

On today’s show we are taking a look at the dirty underbelly of municipal politics. It’s an open secret that some council members have in some cases demanded, and in other cases accepted financial compensation in exchange for political support.  The running joke is that many city council members seem to have very nicely renovated kitchens and baths in their homes, more than usual for the population at large.  Now let me be completely clear, our firm has never engaged in this type of...

On today’s show we are looking at  what we can expect during President Trump’s presidency. We will start with cabinet appointments. Many of these positions will require Senate confirmation. But there is one appointment that is actually the most interesting to me that is not getting any airplay in the mainstream media.  We can also predict what might happen to the price of oil in the short term. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:**  Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso...

On today’s show we are talking about a new housing initiative that was just launched in Mexico by the newly elected President of Mexico. A key component of the initiative is a zero-interest mortgage scheme, offering low-income households a path to homeownership with favorable terms. Some reports put Mexico’s housing shortage of 8.5 million units. Not all of these families need a new home. It’s not within the Mexican culture to renovate homes the way you do in the US and Canada. The...

On today’s show we are going to look at what might be a rush for the exits.  When someone is deported from the US, they are barred from entering the US, even as a visitor for 10 years. So getting deported could be a big deterrent, something to be avoided. Some people who enter the US are true refugees under the Geneva Convention’s definition of conventional refugees. These are people who are fleeing persecution on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, freedom of speech, and so...

Th City of Philadelphia just passed a new ordinance with a vote of 17-0 banning the use of algorithmic pricing for properties in the city. San Francisco was the first city to enact such a ban. Philadelphia is the second and it is expected that others across the nation will follow suit.  The city bill references an anti-trust motion brought by the department of justice. The Justice Department alleges that RealPage's pricing software has features that are anticompetitive and therefore violate...

On today’s show we are looking at a new multi-family research report published two weeks ago by the folks at Fannie Mae.

On today’s show we are taking a look at the state of affairs, the morning after the election.  Thankfully, the election result is clear. The last thing the US needs is months of conflict over the validity of the election.  Let me be clear, I don’t think either candidate is the best choice for the US. But then, I don’t really get to have a voice. I’m not even able to vote in the US election. Some of Donald’s policies are effective, others not. Donald’s personal character is a deal breaker...

On today’s show we are talking about getting a project through the approval process in city council. Every city’s municipal government is tasked with managing the city’s resources along with planning the city’s land use.  Getting a project approved doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a lot of hard work. In every community there are people who will come out of the woodwork to oppose your project. These are people who you have never met, who are not negatively affected by the existence of...

On today’s show we are taking a look at what the US might look like post election. The race is probably too close to call. The left leaning media are predicting a Harris victory and the right leaning media are predicting a Trump victory. Anyone who says they know definitively can’t possibly know. Voter turnout will have a major impact in the swing states. In those ridings where the vote is close, a larger turnout for one group versus another could be enough to make the difference, regardless...

Ou book this month is “Profit First” by Michael Michalowicz. You’ve no doubt heard the advice from financial advisors called “Pay yourself first”.  This book sounds like the same advice, only it’s quite different. It breaks down the human behaviours that result in a money management cycles that ultimately can become a trap.  Most businesses focus on growing revenue to generate cash and stay ahead of expenses. The problem with this approach is that the additional revenue attracts hidden...

On today’s show we are talking about solving the needs of aging population.  As parents age, some families resort to independent living, maybe assisted living, professionally managed institutions. These are quite expensive and not everyone can afford this. In fact, there is a huge percentage of the population who can’t afford senior housing.  For many, that means family takes on the burden of caregiving. As older adults become more reduced in their mobility, the family home might no longer...
