<description>&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler is starting site work this week on his &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.saltranchhotel.com"&gt;Salt Ranch boutique hotel&lt;/a&gt; project in Nashville. He has also filmed enough YouTube content to last through February.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler hosted a &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.crecentral.com"&gt;CRE Accelerator mastermind&lt;/a&gt; call where students presented various commercial real estate deals, including a ground-up development, an owner-occupied deal, and a seller-financed deal. The group is planning an in-person event in Birmingham focused on flex space and ground-up development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler had to let an employee go and hire a new attorney to handle the employment law issues. He is currently hiring for an office manager position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler shared his experience and perspective on the multifamily market, noting that he prefers commercial real estate investments over multifamily due to concerns about overvaluation and lack of good deals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler discussed his thoughts on the office market, stating that it depends on the specific location and property, and that he is selective in his office investments, preferring properties in areas with less competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler provided advice on tenant improvement allowances (TI) for retail spaces, emphasizing the importance of understanding the market and structuring leases that add value to the property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyler encouraged a recent finance graduate to consider starting in commercial real estate brokerage, rather than property management, if they are willing to work hard and go without a salary for the first 6-12 months.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tariffs could significantly impact commercial real estate by increasing construction costs, reducing consumer spending, and putting pressure on commercial real estate values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deregulation could benefit commercial real estate by reducing barriers for businesses, inspiring business confidence, and potentially streamlining processes like permitting and zoning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Immigration policies under Trump could exacerbate labor shortages in the construction industry if there are mass deportations or tightened immigration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a high inflation environment, affordable and flexible spaces like contractor garages and micro-spaces may be viable options for tenants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The impact of Trump's policies on commercial real estate will depend on the specifics and how they are implemented, as well as the broader economic context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Owning hard assets like real estate may be a good hedge against inflation, but the overall investment strategy should consider the nuances of the economic and policy changes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In this episode, we'll examine the potential shifts for commercial real estate under a new Donald Trump administration. We'll address key tax policies, market pressures, and how political shifts could shape financing, regulations, and investment opportunities. Logan, Matt, and I will offer insights on navigating an environment potentially shaped by deregulation and capital incentives, yet also facing unprecedented vacancy rates and high delinquencies.
