Laura Pop-Badiu, Aug 05, 2026 How to Find Owners of Vacant or Abandoned Properties: A Step-by-Step Guide 
Vacant houses, neglected buildings and empty lots often attract less direct competition than listed properties, and they can point to owners who may be open to selling simply to stop the carrying costs, maintenance hassle or legal exposure. The catch in this case, however, is that the properties can be easier to spot than the people behind them.
Laura Pop-Badiu, Jul 29, 2026 How to Contact Property Owners: Cold Calling Scripts, Email Templates & Outreach Tips

Lucian Alixandrescu, Jul 28, 2026 Brooklyn Emerges as NYC’s Coworking Growth Engine, Manhattan Rents Cross $100 in the Plaza District 
New York City’s office market continued to lead the U.S. in Q2, but internal shifts were most visible in the flex office market. Brooklyn’s coworking inventory grew 6.2% Q-o-Q even as Manhattan’s supply retreated. At the same time, Brooklyn’s asking rents for traditional office leases climbed more than twice as fast as the national average.
