Good morning. Instead of our usual newsletter, we're taking a moment for reflection, expressing our gratitude, and discussing what's on the horizon for CRE Daily.

Since January, we have put together 262 editions of CRE Daily, written 263,000 words, generating close to 12.5 million opens.

Our community has grown from 44.2K to 62.4K subscribers, purely through referrals, thanks to our loyal subscribers.

4,820 of you have left 5 ⭐️ reviews, with an average review of 4.6 ⭐️’s.

And engagement has never been stronger.

In 2023, we've been overwhelmed with thousands of emails from you, our readers.

So many of you have told us how CRE Daily has been a time-saver, kept you informed with the latest news, and helped you become more knowledgeable professionals in your daily work.

We also appreciate the constructive feedback you’ve shared when things go off the rails. This is one of the best things about our community.

As we look towards 2024, it's shaping up to be a monumental year for CRE Daily. But what’s next?

You've been asking for more than just a newsletter, and we've heard you loud and clear. A HUGE announcement is coming in January, something we've been passionately working on for months (six to be exact).

Our new website will connect CRE Daily subscribers and the commercial real estate community like never before. It'll feature original content, event directories, product reviews, educational resources, and so much more.

But before we launch…we want to get this right for you.

To help us, please take this short survey. There are 12 questions, and I promise it will only take 3 minutes. Our team wants to better understand who you are, your challenges, and how we can improve CRE Daily.

We read every response, and as a token of our appreciation, each completion will receive our new Back of the Envelope Multifamily Deal Screener (B.O.T.E), an upgrade from the Back of the Napkin version.

As we close out this year's final newsletter, I want to start with a heartfelt THANK YOU to each of you for reading every morning. Your support and engagement are the reasons we're here today.

Our team has expanded from just one (me) to a talented crew of five. We're incredibly blessed to have such amazing talent join us for the next chapter of our journey.

And while 2023 has been one of the toughest years for commercial real estate since the financial crisis. We've weathered the storm together and are now setting our sights on an exciting and promising 2024.

Hopefully, with some rate cuts in the not-so-distant future…

Our team is committed to making CRE Daily the largest and most relevant community for CRE professionals. We're putting it all on the line in 2024.

🙏 Now, here's where we need your help:

• Please keep sending us your feedback, good or bad. Your insights are invaluable for our growth and evolution.

• Continue supporting our sponsors. Their advertisements not only keep our lights on but also allow us to offer our products for free.

• If you know someone who could be an ideal advertiser, flip us an intro here. We will reward you.

• And most importantly, please keep spreading the word to your colleagues and friends. We're revamping our referral program in the New Year, offering even more perks and merch!

Our mission remains to empower professionals like you with the knowledge needed to make smarter decisions and grow your business.

Let's keep building this together!

Best wishes to each of you for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024!!

Jordan
Co-founder / Editor @ CRE Daily
