“Top 5 Reasons for Dedicated Tenant Representation” by Bo Barron, CCIM The guy that came up with Supply and Demand was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky. Adam Smith was definitely smart. Supply and Demand drives everything in real estate, and the same holds true for leasing space. How much space is available? How many active tenants are in the market competing for the space? Does it matter?

Is the stuffy, slow moving, conservative FDIC paying attention to Social Media? . . . Absolutely!!Friday, February 12th, 2010Jerry Anderson, CCIM Wednesday morning at 7am I posted a tweet on Twitter that a Sperry Van Ness Florida advisor had a “buyer that was frustrated with being unable to get an FDIC commercial real estate contractor to present an offer on a property now in receivership with the FDIC.” I wrote the tweet without a tone of criticism but simply one of frustration and I did not name the contractor, bank involved, location or property .

Albuquerque Commercial Real Estate Report 1.25.10Monday, February 8th, 2010From Walt Arnold, SIOR, CCIM — Albuquerque, NM Click HERE to listen to the Real Estate Report 1.25.10 Bob Clark, News Radio 770 KKOB: Walt, you wanted to talk about Cost Segregation and also about Charter Bank and the FDIC’s closing of the bank. Walt: Yes good morning Bob, It is getting close to tax time and cost segregation is a tax strategy to consider for property owners. If a property is going to be held for several years it is worth having a discussion about cost segregation. Cost segregation or separating the parts of the property based on their depreciable life can lead to significant tax savings. Cost Segregation - Save on Taxes and Find Hidden Cash in Your BuildingTuesday, February 2nd, 2010“Cost Segregation” by Bo Barron, CCIM Investors buy investment property for numerous reasons, and I had a conversation with a business owner today about the benefits of owning space for his business. Some of those benefits include cash flow produced by the property, future appreciation value, and tax shelters from the IRS. However, property owners are giving too much to the IRS and missing out on real cash flow because they are not taking advantage of Cost Segregation. Substantial tax savings and realized cash flow are hidden beneath their feet, within the walls, and even in the parking lots of their buildings.

From Jim Tucker, CCIM (Richmond, VA) — Last month, the CCIM Virginia chapter organized it’s first ‘Deal Making Call’ to help circulate exposure for member’s listings, and the efforts wholly paid off in what can only be define as success! A total of 10 properties were presented with about 12 participants on the call including those members who pre-registered to present listings. Several participants offered feedback following the call saying they really liked the format. One other participant requested a package from a member to present to a potential buyer, so already we have a potential transaction from 1st Deal Call. With my past experience with these formats, I expect the call participation to steadily grow, potentially to between 50 and 100 folks. Going forward, we plan to promo participation on the call in a formal advertising campaigns and heavily across social media platforms.
