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 this issue, Click Here!

When 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:

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.

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.

Make sure you have allocated the time to do all of the necessary research when it comes to considering a business location move. Many business operators do not leave enough time to do just that. As a result, they make snap decisions that end up costing themselves both time and money.
 
I often see cases where quick decisions were made with the end result being the perfect storm for future failure.  In other words, the business operator did not know what he did not know.  Many times they missed important options that could have easily been obtained so that their future would have been more secure. 

Knowing these options, asking for them and incorporating them into your next transaction will give you the piece of mind needed to navigate these turbulent economic conditions.   I hope you enjoy this edition of the Tenant Buyer Bottom Line Secrets!

Real estate costs are one of the single biggest overhead items for most commercial tenants. Yet tenants are commonly advised by landlord brokers with serious conflicts of interest — fiduciary obligations to help landlords maximize lease costs. The result has often been transactions which aggravate costs, embarrass executives and sometimes even sink a company. The toughest part of securing a good deal isn’t finding the right location, since landlords are obviously eager to let all brokers know about their available space and rent it as soon as possible. Rather, the toughest part of securing a great deal is negotiating the lease. A badly-negotiated lease can turn a great location into a terrible liability. Do not make this mistake, especially in this economic climate. Get HELP
