I look at the service side of this business more than the ownership side, and the marketing language is confusing me. One listing calls itself co-living, monthly membership, commu…
Two schools of thought among operators at this tier argue this constantly, and it is worth seeing where the room lands. The first says you tie it up the moment the seller says yes…
In a wrap, the buyer pays the wrap holder, who pays the underlying lender and keeps the difference, three transfers a month running through one party's hands. That structure raise…
Acquisition decks for management companies keep repeating a version of the same slide: current portfolio around 104 doors per full time employee, target 175 to 180 post-integratio…

Sponsor wants $6M from us by the 19th and I'm stuck on the phasing. Single asset vehicle, 48 MW of contracted critical load in an emerging Sun Belt market off the I-20 corridor. T…
In a small county, mostly pasture and timber, a utility upgrade along a highway tied to a data center campus optioned nearby raises a common question for a landowner a couple of m…
I've held 22 acres on the edge of a growing metro for eleven years. Taxes are low, I mow it twice a year, and the plan was always to wait. A developer approached me about an activ…
