Thought I was going to finish 2020 empty handed, tough real estate market out here.
Managed to snag a great deal at the last minute and wanted to share the details.
Here’s how I analyze multifamily real estate investment opportunities 👇

During the inspection, did a full walk through with a trusted contractor (worked with for years), receiving quotes unit-by-unit.
Estimated time to complete = 4-6 months.
Since I know the area very well, I can estimate rents and opex with great accuracy (I have another property within 15 mins walking distance).
Tenants are responsible for hydro/gas.
I look for yield above 15%, cash on cash above 7% and debt service above 1.5.
As you can see, the numbers check out.
This would improve all of my metrics. But even if it isn’t feasible, the base case is good enough for my criteria.
But if cap rates on stabilized properties remain around the current 3.5% to 4% range, the property could be worth $1.56m to $1.78m.

There are so many #HotTakes on the future of news and tech and digital this week. Now nearly half a year distant (and what a year - 2020, ugh!) from CEO and board @mcclatchy, I'd like to add a few thoughts: 1/
As @jbenton said in @NiemanReports : @mcclatchy transformation shows it STILL is possible NOW 'to be operationally profitable while still doing good journalism.' Not easy; Covid made it harder. But POSSIBLE and DONE by the great team in 2020 @mcclatchy. 2/
As @jbenton wrote: the #DIGITALTRANSFORMATION @mcclatchy 'shows a company that has managed the digital transition better than most; at last public count, it was making nearly half its ad revenue in digital and digital subscriptions were up 45% year-over-year.' Such focus 3/
On the future is digital is the SOLE way the still-powerful brands of local news and information will be able to have a business in the inevitable 'printless' future (Not today, not tomorrow, but printless someday) 4/
And the crisis in local news is relentless, unabating and by most measures WORSENING. More titles going dark; huge losses to our communities, because solely a blend of new digital startups AND existing footprint offer the scale 5/
I'm glad to see @jbenton's excellent analysis shows what a good job McClatchy CEO @cforman has actually been doing. The fault for bankruptcy goes *way* back to prior regimes piling up unmanageable debt. He rescued the company. 1/https://t.co/EEbxWXBNvW

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
