AMA - Saying No To Deals Aug 09, 2024

Show notes

Today is another AMA episode (Ask Me Anything). Today’s question comes from Chris who asks:

“I found myself having a hard time saying no to a project that is in a great location and the seller was offering very attractive terms to the purchase. The way the purchase was being structured by the seller, they would be assuming most of the risk. However, there are still some deal breaker issues with the property. I’m still finding it hard to say no. How do you overcome that emotional hurdle, or do you even experience that kind of emotional attachment?”

Beginner Series - Land Assemblies Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about land assemblies.

There are basically two ways to make money with land. You can talk raw land and carve it up into smaller pieces. Or you can take subdivided land and put it back together.

The value of a parcel of land is linked to what you can do with it. If you have an acre of land that is agricultural or rural, it might be valued at a few thousand dollars per acre. If it’s suitable for a residential subdivision, then it might be a few hundred thousand per acre. If you could put a 40 story building on it, then it could be in the millions per acre. Of course there has to be demand for density in that location. You’re not going put a 40 story building out in the middle of a corn field, even if the city were to give you the zoning approval to do so. It wooden’t make any sense.

The key is to become well versed in reading the zoning bylaws so that you can identify the size and shape of property that is going to yield an increase in value when assembled together. For example, some multi-family apartment zones have minimum frontage requirements that a single tiny property won’t meet. If you can combine 2-3 of these together, all of a sudden a much bigger building becomes possible.

How Do Cities Finance Projects? Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are looking at how cities finance projects. We tend to think of funding decisions as being political. The truth is that cities do face real constraints on how they can spend money. This puts a real constraint on growth of a city as well.

There are many different types of financing that are possible at the municipal level. Certain types of debt are only suitable for some uses or project types and not for others. Today’s show is a deep dive into a few of the sources of funding cities use most often to finance improvements and growth. These types of financings are primarily located in the US. But they also exist in other locations as well.

China is Leading This Energy Technology Transition Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about some of the changes underway in energy that could have major impacts on global energy consumption and global demand for certain types of fuel.

We tend to think that the US is the world leader in technology. In many areas it is. The conventional wisdom has been that the West has the great ideas, and countries in Asia copy those ideas and reproduce them cheaper due to lower priced labour.

On today’s show we are going to challenge that conventional thinking.

Olympic Real Estate Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are taking a look at the way in which France changed the real estate component of the Paris Olympics. Over the past 50 years, and arguably even longer, hosting the Olympic Games meant constructing permanent structures that quite frankly are going to be used for only a month for the Olympics and the Paralympics which follow immediately after the Olympic Games.

The economic benefits have been short lived and hard to quantify.

How Big Will Rate Cuts Be? Aug 03, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show we are taking another look at interest rates. We’re taking a walk through history. In Wednesday’s Federal Reserve press conference, Chair Jerome Powell suggested that there could be a quarter point cut in interest rates in September if conditions warrant. He said that rate decisions would be data dependent and taken on a meeting by meeting basis.

But I want to take you through history. We’re going to look at the Federal Reserve’s own data dating back to 1954. We would go back even further, but that’s as far back as the data series on the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis contains.

When we look through history we see a consistent trend. Whenever the Fed cuts rates, they don’t do it gradually. The cuts are much faster than the increases.

The graph looks a bit like a saw tooth with a gradual ramp upwards and followed by a sharp decline. We have had 12 periods of rate cuts since 1954. All of the rate cuts were steep and swift. Of the 12 rate cuts, 10 of them were associated with a recession.
