Media showing that or them stating that commercial real estate’s not crashing. Don’t worry, everything’s great. Got a story for you and I decided something before we fly out tomorrow.

So if anyone is in the Dallas area tomorrow evening, we are going to be at the embassy suites DFW south in the lobby from 537 and would love to meet you guys. If you guys want come see you tomorrow. All right, this story is out of thereealdeal. com. It’s entitled Dallas office vacancies stood at 26% in quarter one.

It says here the city saw 2. 5 million leasing activity in the first quarter, indicating that demand is starting to bounce back after dropping to historic lows during initial yields of the years of the pandemic, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Look, I’m going to be honest with you. I think one of the greatest opportunities in this real estate crash is going to be mixed use commercial property.

We’re going to fix that. We’re going to show you how to do that again real quick.

We’re going to hang out, we’re going to party, we’re going to talk about economics and we’re going to have a lot of fun.

Here’s a story a month ago, real estate investors favor Los Angeles, Dallas, New York and London. Here’s my point. We are in one of the most epic downturns ever.

And the truth is Dallas is one of those places that saw a big boom along with Austin and some other large cities across the country. These the first to pop if you’re in the Dallas area type one. Just curious to see how many people watching are from the Dallas area. The fact of the matter is the higher they go up, the harder they fall.
