If you are an end user of commercial real estate, it
does not mean that you are not an investor. If your business plan calls for
any type of real estate ownership, then you must think exactly like an
investor thinks.
Of course most business operators know this but,
often times they d not have the necessary time to brush up on all the
issues. As I have said before, it does make sense to hire help when
dealing in these matters. In most cases, that help can be an
invaluable resource when moving forward with a lease or purchase.
In
this newsletter, I remind you to check the market and to find out what is
happening in the world of lending. I hope you enjoy!

What Is The Shape Of This Recession? |
Down>Bounce>Drag>Release>UpWhen I first
heart this, I thought it was something from a fishing show. As I read
further, I realized just how important this concept is to real estate
buyers. This describes the predicted shape of the recovery from this
recession. Predicting what may happen can be a huge benefit for
investors deciding when and how to get into this market if buying real
estate is part of your business plan. See the different types of
potential recovery shapes at this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession_shapes
The following business
week article discusses the W shaped recovery prospects that we face. I
invite you to search the Internet for descriptions of the different
recoveries.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-03-25/ecb-s-wellink-says-global-economic-recovery-could-be-w-shaped.html
The bottom line with respect to recovery shapes is to try and time the
market. The good thing regarding the W shaped recovery, it that the bottom
may exist at least a couple times and even it you do not time it just right,
if you wait long enough, the property will go up in value (as long as your
original fundamentals are right)! If you do not know the
fundamentals of investing in real estate, STOP and do not move forward until
you do.

Where to Get Commercial Real Estate Financing and Good Information? |
In this market, one of the perplexing questions
commercial owner occupants or property investors ask is 'where do I get
financing?'. You may have found that perfect office to relocate your business,
found an apartment complex with an attractive yield or just want to refinance
you commercial property, just to find that banks are still reluctant to lend.
Although there are still products like
construction/development loans that have not returned to the market,
investors are eager to lend on commercial properties. Most of the
underwriting guidelines are different depending upon the property and
loan type, which makes commercial financing more complicated.
So
where is a good place to find such information?

How Do You Pronounce That Name?
How many times have you mispronounced the name of a new acquaintance or
valued business prospect? Even after you search desperately for help with
the pronunciation of a new name - you often come a day late and a penny
short and this doesn't cut it, especially in today's international business
environment.
This great place comes to the rescue and instead of
addressing "Mr. Dumass" as "Mr Dumb-ass" you can come through with flying
colors instead of getting off on the wrong foot!

provide

and individuals who are fed up with loosing money, paying too much, spending too
much time not getting the right piece of property for their particular

What types of growing pains is your company facing with your location?
Are rising occupancy costs a challenge your company is facing?
Is having too much space or not enough space a challenge your company is
facing?
How much of a problem is dead equity in your property for you?
How long are you prepared to go on doing nothing about situations in
your business that are not quite right?
