am often asked to speak at real estate industry conferences and events, and most recently it was on the topic of Generational Wealth. For those who know me, you know that this is a subject very close to my heart. It’s not just an abstract concept; it has shaped my family’s journey, and just as importantly, it helped mold the foundation of PREP and is one of the philosophies...

I was recently on a flight from Cleveland to New York City. About mid-way through the flight we started experiencing some unexpected turbulence. I found myself closely observing the people around me and noticing how they each reacted differently to what was happening. 

The woman diagonally across from me was panicking–she grabbed the guy next to her...

As I contemplated the subject matter of my letter for this quarter’s newsletter, I realized that I’m personally dealing with a few things that may actually be very relevant to my investors. 

I recently sold my Dollar General net lease property, located in New Jersey. It was an investment that I made together with a friend (and current PREP investor) over 10 years ago...

Here we go again! Ready or not, welcome to the second presidency of Donald Trump, often known as the real estate “Developer-in-Chief”. Regardless of one’s political beliefs, it’s undoubtedly interesting and exciting to have a real estate industry professional (back) in the White House.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (and even if you have, have you seen the cost of rocks these days? ;)) the current high-inflation economic environment has likely impacted you. From the high cost of groceries and gas to insurance and travel, prices on just about everything have skyrocketed, impacting nearly every aspect of our lives...

A friend of mine, who also happens to be a Park Row Equity Partners investor, recently joked with me that I suffer from “TMP”. This startled me for a brief moment. Was this some sort of ailment I hadn’t heard of? “Too Many Properties” he declared, and we laughed together...

This time of year often comes with a lot of self-reflection.

It's been a particularly reflective time for me given that LinkedIn reminded me that I'm celebrating 35 years with Park Row South Realty and its subsidiary Park Row Equity Partners (PREP): 35 years?! That's four years short of four decades, and sure sounds like a long time...

I write this letter with a very heavy heart, filled with extreme pain and sadness over the recent horrific and brutal terrorist attacks on our brothers and sisters in Israel. As you will read when you scroll below, the PREP team has supported several organizations, and we intend to continue to do whatever we can to help.
