Flood Plains After Weather Events Oct 03, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about the aftermath of major weather events.

Many of you know what a flood zone is. That’s a low lying area that is prone to flooding and is not suitable for building.

What you may not know is how an area becomes designated as a flood zone. What happens if you have a property and it gets buried by a few feet of water in a weather event? Precisely who gets to say that your property is a flood zone?

BOM - Be The Unicorn by William Vanderbloemen Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

“Be the Unicorn: 12 Data-Driven Habits that Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest” by William Vanderbloemen is a compelling guide for anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills in today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving business landscape.

The book is the result of collating research in that vast body of experience to identify what sets those high performing leaders apart from the rest of the pack.

Some people think that leaders are born, others are molded.

The good news is that the 12 traits are not just character based. Character can’t be quickly developed. It’s part of the makeup of the human being. Some people have strong character and others just don’t. The 12 differentiators are habits and habits can be taught.

Shipping Goes Onshore Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are taking a look at the inland port.

North America is about to experience a labor disruption of epic proportions. If we look beyond the immediate, there is a lot going on in shipping behind the scenes that most people are largely unaware of.

But first we need to be aware of the impact that the disruption of the ports can have not just on imports that we are accustomed to enjoying. Much of the products we purchase in a retail store enter the US and Canada via shipping container. Most major retailers have been building inventory over the past six months in order to mitigate the risk of a work shutdown on October 1.

But on today’s show I’m looking beyond the strike. This is after all a real estate podcast. So we are going to focus on the real estate and logistics of shipping.

Many of you might remember the congestion at the port of Los Angeles and the port of Long Beach in California during the pandemic. The solution to this logistics problem is to move the port to a new location where there is more land available. Now the port of Long beach is not exactly small. It consists of 3200 acres. There are 10 piers and space for up to 80 ships at a time. It’s a huge port, but not large enough.

The new seaport is located miles from the ocean in the state of Utah. There are in fact five locations in the state of Utah that form the inland port. The largest is 16,000 acres.

Substantially Complete Episode Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about two words. These two words are so simple. We hear them in everyday language. But their meaning can have profound financial implications for you on your projects.

The two words are "substantial completion".

The American Institute of Architects defines substantial completion as,”the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.”

Pharmacies Are Dying - What Will Replace Them? Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about pharmacies. It used to be the case that pharmacies were considered AAA tenants when it comes to retail. There was an entire industry of land owners who had developed tax sheltered land offerings for investors seeking safe investments that would defer capital gains tax.

On today’s show we are looking at the pressure facing large pharmacy chains and why they are closing locations by the thousands as well as the impact on those communities, the retail landscape.

Why are they dying and what will replace them?

How To Secure Your Construction Site Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about how to secure a construction site. In any construction site there is a trade-off between efficiency and security.

When we are talking about security, there are three main aspects we are most concerned with. The first is for the safety of people who are prone to wandering onto the site outside of construction hours. The second relates to loss of valuable equipment and materials. The third layer is protecting the environment.

How to Price A Residential Subdivision Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are addressing a diversity of opinion on how valuation is determined for land in residential subdivisions. We recently had a builder assert that our pricing was too high for residential lots in a subdivision.

At the same time, we have also been successful in developing residential lots and selling them in the marketplace to builders across multiple markets.

When we price our land, we always perform residual land value analysis as part of our due diligence.

We put ourselves into the shoes of the home builder and reverse engineer their cost structure.

So if we are talking about a single family home subdivision, we subtract the builders profit from the retail price, then we subtract the hard cost of construction, the soft costs like permit fees and insurance, interest reserves, the builders general conditions. What’s left over is the price that the builder can pay for the land and still have a profitable business.
