On today’s show we are talking about yet another transformative innovation in the world of artificial intelligence. I realize that this is a real estate podcast and not an AI podcast. But any business that builds its business systems around AI will experience transformation.  So on today’s show I’m going to showcase two different innovations that have launched in the past week. Spoiler alert, not...

Today’s show is focused on an investment thesis that sounds good on the surface. It comes from a listener question. The idea is that a logistics hub like Houston is a growing market which continues to experience population growth.  The need continues for more apartments, for more industrial warehouses, for more commercial, and for more industrial storage. Specifically, the argument was that there...

Here's a question for you. When was the last time you actually checked — really checked — whether your website was working? Not just glanced at it on your phone, but actually verified that every link works, every form submits, every automated response fires the way it's supposed to? If you're like most real estate operators, the honest answer is: not recently.  Here's the reality o...

Most people think of counterparty risk as a banking concept. Will the other party perform? Will they pay? Will they deliver? But in a supply chain, counterparty risk is much broader. It includes whether your supplier can obtain raw materials, whether their supplier can get feedstock, whether the shipper can secure insurance, whether the vessel will even sail, whether the port will accept cargo, wh...

Today we’re talking about the immediate impact of price escalation on construction projects. Not next quarter. Not next year. Right now. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen a growing list of U.S. building-product manufacturers announce price increases across roofing, insulation, siding, waterproofing, gypsum, and steel-related accessory products. This is not a theoretical inflation story. It’s not a...

Today we’re asking a question that sounds simple, but it is actually the wrong question. People ask, how many data centers will be required over the next decade? The research says the better question is, how much compute, power, cooling, and land will be required? Because one 15 megawatt enterprise facility is not the same thing as one 100 megawatt AI campus. Counting buildings without counting po...

Today I want to talk about a very practical use of artificial intelligence, from a real world use case.  I’m talking about using a well-written AI prompt to eliminate unnecessary engineering cost by finding existing tested assemblies that already solve the problem. This came up recently in the context of a wood framed floor assembly. The plans examiner at the city rejected the proposed assembly as...

Today I want to talk about artificial intelligence, not from the standpoint of hype, but from the standpoint of using it in your real business. There’s no question AI is powerful. It can summarize documents, draft communications, analyze markets, answer customer questions, and automate tasks that used to consume hours of staff time. But there’s a dangerous mistake I see many businesses making righ...

On today’s show, we’re talking about a real estate thesis that I believe deserves a lot more attention, and that is investing within a radius of major healthcare institutions. When I say healthcare institutions, I’m talking about hospitals, regional medical centers, specialty clinics, research hospitals, cancer treatment centers, rehabilitation campuses, and large outpatient networks. These are no...

On March 25, 2026, the Senate Budget Committee held a hearing called, “Social Security: A Discussion on the Facts and the Path Forward.” According to the testimony presented to the committee, the combined Social Security trust funds are projected to be depleted in 2034, and the retirement fund itself is projected to be depleted in 2033. At that point, absent changes in law, scheduled benefits woul...
