The appraisal profession has developed a series of well-established analytical techniques; the cost approach, income approach and sales comparison approach. The income approach is considered most applicable for investment or income properties. The commercial real estate appraiser then estimates gross potential income, other income, effective gross income, operating expenses, and net operating income. Market value = net operating income/capitalization rate. Commercial real estate appraisers also utilize the sales comparison approach to estimate market value.

An opinion of the market value of a particular property is the primary objective of most appraisal projects. The valuation process includes all of the necessary steps to accomplish these valuation tasks. (more…)

I am hearing from quite a few of our members about the losses that they have taken on many of their investments. Actually some of the losses have been in the world of real estate too so I know that real estate is NOT immune. Of course it always depends on what side of the fence you are sitting on, right? I mean if I was heavily into stocks I would probably be telling you to be in the stock market now, and so forth.

It is interesting though how many investment sectors have taken on losses AND how many investment sectors have actually gained money on investment over the last year or so.

For example, it is during times like these when the Gold Merchants come out of the woodwork and start selling or even buying Gold. I saw another ad in our local paper about a gold buyer that was in town “only for a few days” to buy your unwanted gold jewelry. You can be that these guys are doing well. Plus the are all over the TV, aren’t they, and those ad dollars are not cheap! (more…)

“Up to 90% of our normal behavior is based on habits.”

If you are like me, you have the same kind of problem and it’s this.

Knowing what you should do vs. actually doing it.

Take exercise for example, how many of us know we should exercise more and may even have some kind of exercise schedule, but, fail to follow that schedule? I am sure we can all relate to this.

So, when it comes to our commercial real estate business we can run into this problem as well. This problem will take two forms. I won’t spend much time on the first -laziness. A lazy owner, or in this case a lazy commercial real estate investor has a lot of issues that will keep them from achieving their actual potential. Point being if you sit around eating chips and watching TV, most of the day your business will suffer. So, I want to focus on something

EVEN WORSE.

What could it be?

Lack of implementation and testing “what works” vs. “what doesn’t work” as a result of, as Brian Tracy puts it; “hardening of the attitudes”.

You see, you could be a lazy couch potato and never get anything done with your business, or, you could be an active business owner and STILL never get the results that you have the potential for. Both attitudes are getting you really nowhere in your business. (more…)
