sean dreznin: AIG agrees to sell 2 NYC buildings - 06/03/09 11:03 AM
The embattled insurer American International Group Inc. is selling its headquarters building in New York and a nearby building in a deal expected to close at the end of this summer, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
But the person said that AIG is not disclosing the price or who the buyer is. The person asked for anonymity because the sale has not been made public yet.
The building sales are the latest move by AIG, which has received $182.5 billion in financial support from the government since September, to shed assets to repay the loan package. The buildings … (4 comments)

Investment Real Estate Improvement Considerations
When considering a project for an Investment property, the first question you need to ask yourself, is simply, "Is this necessary, now?"
If the project is not considered dire and the consequences are minimal to nil, then logically in this market, it would seem to make fiscal sense to postpone the project (e.g. - Window replacements, asphalt replacement vs. repair)
Secondly, the next aspect to consider is how to recoup the cost of the improvements? Rent Increase? Reduction in amenities? Does the current market or your current rents allow for upside movement? Do you … (2 comments)

sean dreznin: General Growth (2nd largest U.S. Mall owner) files for bankruptcy protection - 04/16/09 09:30 AM
General Growth Properties Inc, the second largest U.S. mall owner, filed for bankruptcy protection on Thursday in one of the biggest real estate failures in U.S. history.
Ending months of speculation, the Chicago-based mall owner, which listed total assets of $29.56 billion and total debts of $27.29 billion, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors along with 158 of its more than 200 U.S. malls, while it seeks to restructure some of its debt.
Since November, General Growth has warned that it may have to seek protection from its creditors when it was unable to refinance maturing mortgages. The company … (5 comments)

Pulte Homes agrees to buy Centex in $1.3B deal
By MICHELLE CHAPMAN and J.W. ELPHINSTONE, AP Business Writers
In a deal that will create the nation's biggest homebuilder, Pulte Homes Inc. is buying Centex Corp. for $1.3 billion in stock as both companies try to survive the worst real estate recession in a generation.
The transaction, which also includes $1.8 billion of debt, will combine Pulte's strength in active-adult and retirement housing with Centex's hefty market share of first-time homebuyers.
The acquisition also will give Pulte large tracts of land in Texas and the Carolinas, two of the most resilient … (3 comments)

sean dreznin: Stretching and Core Videos - 02/14/09 08:35 AM
The two videos I have place below deal with stretching and core exercise which are two extremely important places (in addition to cardio) to build a foundation for future health and fitness achievements.
Stretching helps to warm your body up and lessen the likelyhood of injuries and the impact of the workout.
Core exercises are important because your core is utilized in almost every exercise whether you feel it or not.

I 3> this song and will probably always get a release of endorphins when I hear it, I hope by sharing the tune and the video that someone else finds a similar feeling, or simply just enjoys it. Happy Valentines Day!
This song is often rumored to tell the story about a stripper.
The stripper statement is simply a misunderstanding.
Jack Johnson wrote this song about a young girl named Taylor, hence the title of the song.
The song tells the story of three characters. The main character is Taylor, a sweet, young, innocent, lonely little girl, who is … (9 comments)

sean dreznin: Missing your audience? - 02/09/09 04:50 PM
With the changes in thinking, living and existing that society as a majority has assumed and is currently living. It is amazing to myself and others why so many apartment advertisements and property sellers are utilizing the same messages they were before the economic issues afflicted us. It would seem appropriate to make a seismic shift in the message to strike the chords with the audience!
Communcations firm DMB & B says:
"When faced with penny pinching consumers, it helps to shift your ad campaign from messages like ‘luxury' and 'status enhancement' to efficiency and value."
It would appear that … (4 comments)

sean dreznin: Apts-for-Sale.com - 01/25/09 09:03 AM
I have used this site for years and although it, to my knowledge, has never paid a dividend, I enjoy the fact that only apartment complexes are listed on the site.
Ultimately, it appears some of the main administrators utilize national listing mediums, such as Wall Street Journal and For Sale listings to compile its list.
Again, I reiterate this is a nice organizational tool for Apartment complexes for sale.
This site seems to handle ass small as 5-unit up to major portfolio properties (500 units+).

Commercial Real Estate Exposure Catches Banks in Economic Downdraft
Banks Report Deterioration in Nonresidential Loan Portfolios, Tighten Purse Strings
THE OTHER SHOE HAS DROPPED.
Banks began issuing their fourth quarter reports this week and a potential major trend appears to be the negative effect deteriorating business conditions are beginning to have on the credit quality of their commercial real estate loan portfolios.
In addition, banks are reporting they expect the credit quality of their portfolios will only continue to worsen. Not surprisingly, bankers also noted that the overall demand for loans has declined and so has the credit quality … (4 comments)
