Just picked up a used mini ghost squash, I know a lot of people lean neutral thrusters but has anyone run a twin plus trailer? I hear it's pretty loose as is.
Using it probably 2-5 maybe 6 feet SoCal beach and points.
Any good fin recs?
Have had this feral 2mm for 3.5 years and starting to leak at the bottom. Tried using an aquaseal but not working. Any ideas or time for a new one?
Curious from both LP's and GPs as both would have a good look. Would like to hear what was personally put into the deal from the GP (dollar amount or %) and what the end result was.
Obviously running numbers through a waterfall is one thing but actually seeing a cashed check from a big deal is another.
Trying to go after a pretty much off market deal (one broker brought it to a couple groups) and I presented to a number of LPs to gauge interest and hopefully work on the deal with where I would be the GP. After the call for offers I found out that one of the LPs I talked to, who had shown interest and then gone silent on me, issued an LOI themselves.
This is a large deal and a pretty sizable fund who is trying to screw me. There's a lot of secret sauce I gave these guys, and to go around my back is just so unprofessional and disingenuous. Not sure how much legal room I have but going to look into it if they win the deal. I don't have an nda or non circumvention signed.
Any thoughts on how to approach? Has this happened to anyone? Shocked a group this large would do something like this.
37M dated a 34F for about a two years. Lots of pluses, she was very kind, loyal, attractive, and we had a lot in common. The first 9 months were great but after that my ex started to be upset with something I did or didn't do on almost a weekly or multiples times a week basis. There was nothing she took lightly and could brush off and everything had to be deep conversations even about the smallest things.
She has had some trauma in her life that has caused her to feel things very deeply and seems to be insecure about a number of things. She needed constant validation to keep her happy and still didn't feel emotionally connected which she claims was the cause of her being upset about all of these small things.
Ex of fights: I didn't pay enough attention to her at a group dinner with friends (multiple times), mad I didn't hear her at a nightclub when she said something, didn't kiss her when she was sick, never enough compliments, didnt respond to her in time or missed a text, misunderstanding text and assuming the worst, multiple times in a fight saying you don't love me or don't want to spend time with me.
Everytime she would get mad about something she would expect me to apologize which I did not want to always do because I did not think it was fair for her to be mad about these situations and didn't want to set a precedent of this being okay. I tried to listen and talk through why it was upsetting and it always seemed to end that I didn't consider her in each of these situations.
Either way we would get in these circular arguments where she wanted me to apologize but I didn't think what I did was wrong and didn't want to be a doormat. I would sometimes apologize that what I did upset her and adjust going forward but it was never enough and usually would pin me as being too defensive. I think at the beginning of our relationship I was defensive as I couldn't believe she was getting mad about some of these things, but eased up considerably and really tried to listen.
How do you balance accepting their emotions, but also not being a doormat and being too defensive, especially if what they're getting mad to you, doesn't seem fair?
Anyone have any small business health insurance broker recs for a 2-3 person company in CA?
Looking at some larger, older distribution buildings 32-35' clear. Is it doable to get it to 40' clear? Has anyone done this or bid it out for larger buildings (300k+)? Wondering what cost might be. I know structural etc is building specific but just rough idea ppsf.
Can't say I'm surprised, but another thing our city massively underinvests in.
I don't know what's in the air but the past 3-4 days my allergies have gone bananas. Not sick, but damn, anyone else feeling it very recently?
For anyone who works for a fund or larger owner/operator, how is asset management for the long WALT industrial stuff? I know it should be mostly hands off but are there constant issues you don't think about that come up constantly?
Wanted to discuss pivoting in the entrepreneurial world. Have been working on a real estate business plan for the past couple years, struck out on my own 2 years ago and gotten very close on numerous deals, but haven't gotten any of them over the line. It's an extremely niche angle and although I have investors interested, there's just not enough deals to have any scale.
After putting all my eggs in this one basket, I'm now going to pivot to a different (although relatively niche) asset class that seems to have more scale and promise.
How do I go back to my investors with this new business plan that's completely different?
What's worked for you?
Multifamily, industrial, retail, office, these are institutionally know, will stand the test of time and spending years or decades perfecting your knowledge in one could be rewarding and allow you to maybe do your own thing, or make a lot of money in corporate.
Although data centers seem to be the hot new thing, if AI is truly a bubble, or technology changes where these centers can be much much more efficient, or energy production changes, will these things still be relevant? The requirements are also so tough that I feel like at some point you just really can't build more of them so if you have an acquisitions role, will you hit a ceiling?
Mainly focused on whether this is a niche that has suitable long term trajectory or if it's safer to stick to the major food groups.
Have an offer in big tech on the real estate side, how frowned upon would it be to put together my own investment deals on the side (including raising money from HNW/small funds) keeping a low profile? Wouldn't be a w2, just own investments etc. but have a side work email etc. I know they don't want you to have a second "job", but any thoughts? Don't really want to give up the entrepreneurial side but also a great opportunity with a solid paycheck.
Have been in this endless PT limbo for years with a torn labrum and debating whether to finally go under the knife. I know PT will be long but feeling like I should rip the bandaid off and do it while I'm still youngish as it is a constant thorn in my side. For me it's either get surgery or be a slave to PT forever and shoulder may continue to tear/possibly dislocate. Always worried every time I paddle out something may happen.
Anyone go through this?
Bummed after a breakup and would like to clear my head. Intermediate surfer, have been to Bali so ideally somewhere different that has fun summer waves that won't kill me (4-7). Would love a fat right handed point or reef break, maybe even somewhere with some small barrels? Would Fiji make sense? Anywhere else recommended that's not crazy crowded that would be good to go solo for 2 weeks?
