Notes
The Friction Index
Occasional notes on what I’m seeing in BC real estate: deals, debt and the friction that sets prices.
All notes
-
Their Price, My Terms
Two patterns from three deals where the vendor carried paper, and the date that decides it.
-
Complexity Is Where the Price Is
The buildings I buy come with hair. These notes are where I write down what it costs.
-
Small-Bay Is Where the Vacancy Went
Industrial vacancy hit a decade high. The average hides where it sits.
-
MLI Select Is an Energy Project With a Mortgage Attached
On an existing building, the energy work decides how much MLI Select will lend. Price it before the loan.
-
The Loss-to-Lease Is Shrinking
Market rents went flat while in-place rents kept rising. Most pro formas haven’t caught up.

Free. A short email when I publish something new, a few times a year. Nothing else.
