 Greed is good, eh? You sure?
Greed is Good? I Disagree!
by Bo Barron, CCIM
Most brokers love Gordon Gekko. How could you not? He swings for the fences and rarely misses. He lives on the edge, bends the rules, and does the deals. One word, though, is synonymous with Gordon Gekko, and that word is Greed. Brokers love Gordon Gekko because he made this phrase famous - “Greed is good.”

I attended the Interface Distressed Asset Conference last month in Miami with our Loan Sales team leader, Pat Blount. I facilitated one of the panels on the topic of “Value, who knows”? Not only was the temperature abnormally cold, so was the outlook for commercial real estate values as we head in to 2011. The most popular panel was named “Cracking the Vault, doing business with the FDIC and Special Servicers”. The room was packed as it was evident that brokers want to know ”how to do business with” and have been frustrated by the system in place but the panelists simply said “don’t call me, I’ll call you”. I didn’t see anyone in the audience satisfied with that answer.

From Sperry Van Ness Accelerated Marketing | Atlanta, GA - Via CitzBizRealEstate Atlanta, commercial real estate services provider Cassidy Turley recently analyzed the election results, and opines that the chances for major changes are not very great, noting that “divided” governments of the past have seen growth in government spending and the size of government… And they feel that the nature of this “lame duck” government will not be positive for business. However, they do feel that almost 4 million office jobs will be created over the next 5 years. And introduction to the report begins:

There’s a new player seated at the triple-net investment table, and its ante is being tossed-in from sales of dental floss, shop rags, and Spam to moderate-income Americana. The player, Dollar General Stores (NYSE:DG), is no stranger to the real estate investment community, but until this year its leases had mainly been attractive only to local, regional, or “one-off” purchasers. That changed in early 2010 when DG rolled out its latest investment product—the 15-Year NNN lease. These leases, which require no landlord responsibilities, have attracted sizable attention from institutional and national investors which had previously viewed DG leases as too cumbersome, unpredictable, and/or management-intensive.

From Sperry Van Ness Accelerated Marketing | John Johnson, CCIM - Recently reported on InvestmentNews.com, real estate money managers are still seeing a loss in value of holdings, but well below the loss levels of 2009. According to Gary Koster of Ernst & Young, “Transactions are low, and competition for institutional-quality assets is very high.” He thinks that several managers will not survive: “Managers that treated investors well have built up brand loyalty, and investors are narrowing their manager choices to a very controllable few. As a result, managers are in reputation-grooming mode.”

From Sperry Van Ness Accelerated Marketing | John Johnson, CCIM - The 12 largest homebuilders have been buying developed lots at distressed prices for several months, and the actuations continue. And they are starting to build new homes, even in the face of declining prices and more foreclosures and other resales on the market. But they are taking advantage of buying lots at cheap prices, perhaps repositioning the development
(downscale), and often building smaller houses. Is it a good strategy to add new inventory at this time?
