In today’s current economic climate, landlords are being inundated with lease restructuring requests from retailers. The landlords are gearing up for battle. Many of the landlords don’t recognize certain factors that might make them more cooperative and interpret these potential negotiations as something that is in their best interest instead of adversarial.

In particular, many articles anticipated huge numbers of closings for the beginning of 2009. Why haven’t we seen these huge numbers of closures? Retailers are undertaking the lease … (0 comments)

ccim: Consumer-lending activity has increased in numerous midsize cities in the U.S. - 04/06/09 03:05 PM
Many Smaller Cities Dodge Crunch in Consumer Lending By DAN FITZPATRICK Consumer-lending activity has increased in numerous midsize cities in the U.S., a sign they are riding out the recession better than big cities and rural towns, an analysis of credit data shows.

By John Simpson, CCIM, MAI, and Eileen Simpson
 
Capitalization rates are often controversial and misunderstood variables in commercial real estate valuation equations. To value properties, most buyers and sellers prefer an income approach, which analyzes cash flows to determine debt service and investor return — typically the internal rate of return — so it's easy to see why cap rates are scrutinized.
