“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.

2009 will go down as one of the most challenging years in the history of commercial real estate and, for that matter, in the U.S. economy as well. There are some signs of life in the marketplace, although these shoots of new life are tender and it wouldn’t take much to kill them off. It remains clear that we have a long way to go to truly begin a full-fledged economic recovery.

Where are the “best buys” in today’s market? Which brokers have the discounted properties available for purchase? Can you find me some good deals? How in the world do I find the “best buys” before everyone else? These are all excellent questions investors posed in 2009. And the answer for all is quite simple: Exclusive Buyer Representation!
Exclusive Buyer Representation works in the best of markets and even better in challenging markets! Why? It’s estimated, 70% of all commercial transactions are influenced by professional real estate brokers. Most transactions that come to market are listed by brokers representing sellers and most “off market deals” are sourced by brokers. You get the idea. And who stands to gain from exclusive broker relationships? Savvy investors of course!

ATLANTA, GA, Nov., 16, 2009 - (by John Johnson, CCIM)
Recently, I lent my perspectives on the real estate auction world to Investor’s Business Daily. Auctions are gaining focus right now, with hopes to bring back a realistic sense of fair market value:
Many owners who bought property in the last five years are now upside-down on their loans and have no way out, says John Johnson, head of the Accelerated Marketing unit of Sperry Van Ness.
The commercial real estate firm conducts dozens of live auctions across the U.S. every year. But in today’s market, it runs few reserve sales, which allow the seller to accept or decline the final bid.

Now may be the most opportune time to acquire investment real estate. All of the pieces of the Commercial Real Estate puzzle are starting to align – reasonably priced properties are on the market, loans are being approved, and the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is on the rise. I have been advising my investors to seriously look at the market now!! Sitting back and waiting for the market to hit the absolute bottom will have you entering the game late. Every other investor, local and institutional, will be there competing against you in a feeding frenzy and you will most likely get caught up in a bidding war, thus paying more for properties.

Did you know that FASB (financial accounting standards board) and its international equivalent (IASB), are considering major changes to the way corporations record operating leases on their books? If the proposed modifications are codified, all corporations will be forced to move real estate (and equipment) leases from “off balance sheet” on to their balance sheets. This has huge implications on the profitability, and hence the growth potential, for every public and private company that currently occupies their real estate using leases.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug., 27, 2009 - (by Jim Tucker, CCIM) After a week of webinars and conference calls to digest and re-digest the awful news in the marketplace about our industry (transaction volume down 89% from the high in 2007), I happened to notice one snippet in an email from a fellow professional about what he observed about how inflation is lurking just around the corner.
