Hey I stumbled upon your website by accident on yahoo while searching for something completely obscure but I am truly glad that I did. You have just added yourself another subscriber. :)
i might not have imagined this useful a couple of years back, nonetheless it’s crazy how years shift your perception. many thanks with regard to the post. it is relaxing to start reading anything intelligent once in a while in lieu of the nonsense mascarading as a blog on the net.
Hey, I like your site. I was wondering if you would do a review post of my product at my site.
Sure Martin. Some time today. Thanks.
From the title I thought you were commenting on impeachment but thanks for the info anyway!
Regardless of the reasons, I think there are three items which do not bode well for commercial real estate prices in the next few years. First and perhaps most overlooked, investment or income producing properties, during the boom years, where purchased more for appreciation, rather than “income”. In other words, many deals were justified by investors who were willing to forego a rate of return (income), for future price appreciation. But as its name suggests, this is not what “income producing property” is all about. If it doesn’t give you an income stream in good times, it sure won’t be able to in bad ones. Only a “flipper” can make money on appreciation, and the trick is to know when to get in and when to get out. Second, the credit crisis has reduced the chances of obtaining loans, and also the leverage previously afforded owners/purchasers. Less money means less deals, and more cash out of pocket. This can only lead to lower prices. Third, we are for now in a “new” economy (although Americans often prove to be driven by fads and can be short sighted), where we will consume less, which should mean less need for commercial space. If there is one truth that history makes clear over and over again, it’s that most sectors of the economy will move in conjunction with one another, not in spite of one another. No doubt prices are tied to supply and demand issues, but too much of a swing invites change. So when prices double and triple in one sector while the rest of the economy isn’t going in that direction, chances are some force will snap that imbalance back into its proper place in the overall economy. And that change can be from social, economic, and/or political means.
I liked the title of the post and was drawn to it, but its not what I thought in its content. Still the majority of posts are informative adn pretty good, actually. Continued success.
