    Industry Dose of Reality...

    I've been in this business for 28 years and it still makes me chuckle when I hear people say "Time kills deals". Let's face it, other than the 1031 market or an online auction, our business is a slooooww moving beast. Title, Phase I, Zoning, Civil, Architecture, Council Meetings, Real Estate Committee, Lease Negotiation, Cannibalization Studies, Traffic Studies, Building Permits, Site Tours, you name it, it all takes time. When we ask for 120 or 180 days with extensions, it's because that's what it takes, across the board anywhere in the US, period. It took that long in 1996 when I started and it takes that long now, so when I hear you throw the "Time Kills Deals" mumbo jumbo, I have to assume you either, don't know what you are doing, or you are desperate to make a deal. This business is about patience and persistence, not about being pressured into making hasty decisions.

    I always chuckle a little when I hear people drive by a new building and say "Boy, that went up fast!". What most don't understand about our business is the amount of time, effort and money spent on a project well before the first shovel goes in the ground. We started the development of this BJC Medical Office Building in Godfrey, IL in earnest in May of 2021, 3 YEARS AGO!!! I am proud to announce, yesterday we came full circle and closed on the sale of this investment property to Exchange Right medical office REIT. In that 3 year period interest rates went from Mid 4%'s to 8%, construction costs continued rising and we were scrambling to acquire HVAC and Switch Gear that were both in short supply across the country. It was a quite a ride but thanks to our partners on this project we completed on time and on budget. IMPACT Strategies, Inc. TWM, Inc. Archimages, Inc. Christopher Kuester, Nicholas Walker, AIA, Travis Schwartz Mark Hinrichs Chris Imming, James Foley, Adam Glosier Jared Hancock Tom Milford Andrew Watson. It takes a Team to build a village and we drafted well on this project!! Looking forward to working with this team again.

    As many know, the governmental morass we have to work through in the STL Metro can be exhausting, but there are bright spots now and again. I don't think there is YELP for governments so I'd like to give a shout out to the entire Zoning team, Mayor and Counsel Members in Godfrey, IL; as well as, the hardworking and very helpful employees at the Madison County Court House (Assessor, Maps and Plats and Treasurer Departments). We had and excellent experience across the board and all were eager to lend a hand. Makes us want to come back for more. Adam Glosier Jared Hancock Tom Milford

    DID YOU KNOW...you can utilize IRA funds to participate in "self directed" investing by using a qualified intermediary to coordinate and track? That means you can diversify into commercial real estate holdings just like we provide at Scout Capital Group, and stil maintain the tax benefits within your IRA.. Reach out to any one of us Chris Zoellner Adam Glosier Tom Milford Jared Hancock to take advantage of the benefits of Commercial Real Estate Investing. Of course, every personal situation is different so please consult your CPA before investing.

    Some of the best advice I ever received in commercial real estate was: "Never fall in love with your real estate.". That doesn't mean don't take care of it, or not be proud of what you have or have built; rather, you need to remember that first and foremost Commercial RE is at its core a Financial Transaction. You don't hear many people getting worked up over buying or selling mutual fund shares or T-Bills, do you? There is a right time to sell and a right time to buy for your investment parameters, don't let your attachment creep into your decision making. "...But it was my first investment, I cant part with it.", is a terrible investment plan, save the emotions for your childhood home.

    Just a reminder that we are currently knee deep in fundraising efforts for our CAPSCO Fund. The Fund is built to take advantage of the buying opportunities ahead, as the debt markets dry up and Low Leverage/All Cash Buyers move to the head of the line. This recently published Wall Street Journal article titled “Strip Malls Are the New King of Retail Real Estate”, continue to emerge to further validate the CAPSCO Fund strategy. CAPSCO Fund is actively acquiring these exact assets, and investing with CAPSCO can get YOU to the 'front of the line'. Some highlights from the article:   1. Annual visits to strip malls increased 18% last year compared to pre-pandemic levels, a trend bolstered by work-from-home that has more Americans shopping closer to home 2. Average asking rents at strip malls reached a record high $20.37 per SF, a 17.3% increase compared to 2019 3. The vacancy rate in strip malls has fallen to 5.3%, the lowest number on record   CAPSCO currently has a number of these acquisition opportunities in the pipeline. While retail fundamentals are as strong as ever, there is disconnect in the broader market, as most buyers are still stuck on the sidelines waiting for interest rates to come down and the transaction market is in gridlock as a result. CAPSCO isn’t waiting for interest rates to come down – the opportunity is now. We are acquiring great deals without debt, at a discount, and with very little competition.   Our buying criteria: Well located retail shopping centers. Consistent historic occupancy. Generate net cash flow above 8.0% without debt   If this strategy sounds interesting and you want to join the team, please reach out and we can get you plugged into the data room so you can download all the fund documents. Call me if you have questions! Adam Glosier Jared Hancock Tom Milford
