From Robert J. Pliska, CRE, CPA Birmingham (Detroit), Michigan - Investment, residential and commercial real estate has been very trying in the last few years. An area that may help you as a real estate owner, investor and/or broker/advisor is to improve your attitude and your mental psych. A way to do this is to latch on to a few quotes that you feel appropriate to keep your enthusiasm up, provide momentum to get through a crisis, add a little humor to a difficult situation, use to close the next deal, provide impetus for a good return on your investment and any other way you see appropriate.. This has helped many as investment and commercial real estate advisors and owners. After all, history has shown that many have gone through worse battles than we are experiencing and they found a way to be positive and have the will and perseverance to continue forward and eventually achieve success.

Referral Rewards - They’re Yours For the Advice!
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010By: Robert J. Pliska, CRE, CPA, Birmingham (Detroit), Michigan
In these more difficult times in investment, residential and commercial real estate, we continually try to find ways to obtain additional income. This income can be received differently than our typical core business. One approach being used is to refer business to others and get actual cash referral fees or at minimum a pat on the back where the referring beneficiary will feel obligated to pay you back in some way.

Albuquerque Commercial Real Estate Report 3.22.10: Property Management
Friday, April 9th, 2010From Walt Arnold, SIOR, CCIM - Albuquerque, NM
>>> Click here to listen to the Commercial Real Estate 3.22.10 <<<
Bob Clark, News Radio 770 KKOB: Walt, you’ve mentioned property management services you provide. Can you tell us a little more about you’re commercial property management business?
Good morning, Bob. We manage about 400,000 square feet of office and industrial real estate, not a huge amount but it keeps us busy. With property management all you have to do is show up in the morning and the job shows up with you. The details of maintenance calls, paying bills, communicating with tenants, paying mortgages, supervising vendors and updating owners is a management task that requires discipline in managing the details.
Has the “Great Thaw” Begun in Commercial Real Estate?
Thursday, March 18th, 2010While Ocala, FL is a small microcosm in the enormous universe of commercial real estate, it’s amazing how this little market acts in unison with the larger national marketplace. I guess this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise really, since over half the commercial real estate in Ocala is owned by people who live outside Marion county. Things are heating up here in Ocala for Q1 2010, and I hope we’ll see this on the national level. Mr. Market appears to be coming back from his slumber and I’m wondering…Has the Great Thaw begun?

“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?
Cost Segregation - Save on Taxes and Find Hidden Cash in Your Building
Tuesday, 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.
