You're listening to working capital. My guest today is Peter Linneman of the c e o and Founder of Linneman. Associates. And Peter is a returning guest.

So we had him back on the show not too long ago, but we were talking before. A lot is changing in the commercial and residential Real Estate world that we thought. We, you have you back on Peter and we could chat a little bit about the environment we're in and, and you know, any crystal balling you have for the future. how are you doing today?

Peter (49s): I'm doing terrific. How about yourself?

Jesse (51s): I'm doing great. Thanks for coming back on the podcast.
