Welcome to my newsletter!
Sunshine Corner is SRR Consulting’s bi-monthly newsletter with updates, news, and Sara's views on the US economy and commercial real estate.
Hello Sunshine,
It has been a long week of technical difficulties, my friends.
On one hand, digging into the Expanded NPI is my new favorite thing. On the other hand, my entrepreneurial journey into setting up payment systems and two versions of document hosting is no fun at all. “I am learning new skills” is the mantra that keeps me rolling along with the proverbial punches.
The good Sunshine Corner news
Next Tuesday’s edition of the newsletter will not be disrupted. Sign up for a paid subscription — so cheap at $10/month or even cheaper at $100/year! — to continue receiving my fabulous content.

The not-so good Real Estate Quarterly news
Although flush with excellent content on property type and subtype performance, I am delayed in adding this content to my new SRR Real Estate Quarterly page.
Several technical hiccups occurred in rapid succession to cause this delay, but all is back on-track today. As my great-grandmother taught me in Mississippi, we can tackle hiccups with sugar cubes. So, I tackled one sweet nugget of technical difficulty at a time and the backend is done.
All that remains is the fun part, adding the content to the site!
The good Real Estate Quarterly news
Paid subscribers to Sunshine Corner will receive the next newsletter AND the first issue of Real Estate Quarterly in their inbox on May 7.
As a quick peek, the chart below shows annual property type and subtype returns ending in the first quarter of this year and the prior two years.
These categories are a mix of standard NCREIF cuts and my own customized slices. Twenty-five years of using NCREIF data means I know a few tricks for aligning the data with how investors approach the market. Subscribe to learn more! 🌞
Thanks for reading!
Fun Facts: Sunshine marks the start and end of each day and illuminates the moon to mark the start and end of each month. New data covering the economic and demographic drivers of real estate performance are released at differing monthly and quarterly cadences such that an important data release occurs at least once a week. It is chaos. To build this newsletter's calendar, I chose to follow sunshine and release this newsletter twice per month, at the start (new moon) and end (full moon) of a lunar month. Problem solved. 🌞
