Earlier today I was speaking with a friend of mine who invests in residential real estate.  It's occurred to me that almost all of my friends invest in real estate, but that's not the subject of my blog today.  During our conversation, I realized that although my friend knew a lot about residenti...

I was talking to a would-be investor today.  He has been talking about investing in commercial real estate for years.  He looks at properties online regularly, and he seems to think that if he looks at enough properties, he'll eventually find the perfect deal.  He seems pretty bright, so I can't ...

I was speaking with an investor today that owns a mixed-use property.  He has two apartments over a small retail space.  Like many mixed-use properties in downtown Reading, the apartments were rented, but the retail space was empty.  When I asked him about his plan to get the space leased, he sai...

I've been talking a lot about the tremendous opportunities to invest in commercial real estate in Reading, PA.  Obviously the flip side of this story is the tough situation that a lot of commercial real estate sellers are facing.  To get properties sold today requires a lot more than putting a si...

"Why would I hire you to list my property if you just moved to Reading, PA?", was the question that my potential client asked me today.  It's a fair question, especially given the fact that many brokers advertise themselves at the 'local area expert'.  My answer was quite simple, "it is true that...

Currently my focus in real estate is leasing and selling commercial real estate in downtown Reading, PA.  However, I am still involved in the occasional residential transaction.  I recently moved here from NJ, and today I listed my old home in Collingswood, NJ as a rent to own.  To my pleasant su...

I was reviewing an office lease today for a client of mine.  In general, the lease was a pretty basic lease, 5,000 SF, 5 years, market rate, 2  2-year extension options, and that's where things got a little wierd.  The second option started in 2017 and ended in 2015.  Clearly this was a typo, but...

I was talking to an investor today that said he only invests in residential real estate, because that is what he knows.  He explained that he can walk into a property and figure out whether or not someone would want to rent an apartment or home that he might purchase.  I think it makes complete s...
