Entering the Commercial Real Estate Market | Commercial Property ...

Posted on April 2, 2012

Wondering how to get a great start in the sales of commercial real estate? There is a vast market in commercial property regardless of where you are, and if you are keen on the right strategies of the market, you could easily find a very prosperous career in the industry. Use these tips to find good advice for getting a great start in a fruitful venture.

    • Do not try to bribe your real estate agent into scheduling more showings for you. Not only is this totally unethical and offensive to any reputable agent, but there is still no guarantee that your property will sell any faster even though it was shown to buyers a lot more.
    • To ensure your commercial real estate property is successful, understand the market where your property is located and select tenants which suit the area's demographics. For example, a toy store or baby furniture store are better suited to a suburban neighborhood with young families.
    • You need to create some kind of plan of action. You need to set parameters, which are a top priority in a commercial property deals. You need to decide how much you can pay first. You also need you know what you should expect to make on a deal. Learn the number of tenants on board and how many pay the rent. Also, be aware of how much space needs to be filled.
    • Learn the new formulas that run commercial real estate. Just like how you use formulas such as the 75% rule when buying houses, commercial property will have new and different formulas to get used to, like Net Operating Income and Cap Rates. Make sure you're familiar with them in order to make a good deal.
  • When looking to buy a piece of commercial property you may want to look at areas that are not local to you. There are commercial properties that are for sale everywhere. Some are more reasonably priced than others are. You could start making a profit off of a piece of commercial real estate a lot quicker if you put less of an initial investment down.

If you want to know much more than you do about selling commercial real estate so it could be a profitable career for your future, you can start with the advice in this article. Tap into a great market and learn the selling strategies that top sellers are using for success today.

How do you rate your literacy about death and dying? ? The ...

Today it seemed fitting to revisit one of most popular blog posts from last year ? a post on death literacy.

Timely because in collaboration with Victoria Spence from Living with our Dead and LifeRites, the finishing touches have been applied to the ?Stir the Pot? event being held in Sydney April 18th. ?Stir the Pot? is part of the first Australian Changemakers Festival being run by ASIX and Steve Lawrence. We had the privilege of working with Steve last year to produce the ?Dying For Change? social innovation event with Charles Leadbeater.

?Stir the Pot? is a night of presentations, provocations & discussion about innovative end of life & after death care practices in Australia.

There is a quiet revolution happening in Australia ? green funerals and Eco ?Garments for the Grave?, funeral ceremonies in public spaces (including parks, surf clubs and art galleries), people are dying at home and families are organising their own funerals (yes! without a funeral director), ethereal ?human rooms? are being designed in palliative care spaces, choirs are singing to the dying,? and ?cooling tables? are enabling families to care directly for their dead at home. Water cremation is even on the way!

Want to know more?

?Stir the Pot? is for practitioners as well as for interested citizens, keen to have more open and deeper conversations about end of life issues and how this aspect of our lives can be better for all involved.

?

?

Most of us only talk about death when we have to.

After all, it?s something most of us know very little about.

Few of us have been present with the dying, or cared for the dying or seen our loved ones ?laid out? after death. Death often takes us by surprise and we find ourselves organising funerals when we are in the midst of numbing and unexpected grief.

So it?s hardly surprising that when death occurs it?s not uncommon for people to describe feeling helpless and uncertain: Who do we call on for help? What?s required when someone is dying or has just died?

I?m fortunate to be involved in a research project at the University of Western Sydney

with Dr Debbie Horsfall and Assoc. Prof Rosemary Leonard. We are looking at the experiences of care networks. We defined ?care network? as the group of friends, family, neighbours and other informal caregivers and supporters who gather around and support the primary caregiver when someone with a terminal illness is being cared for at home. We presented the preliminary results at the Australian and New Zealand Third Sector Conference last month and one of the key findings I presented on was death literacy.

Everything changes, it seems, once you have cared for someone who is dying.

Many people in care networks report that their knowledge and death and dying ?grew? over the time they were part of this care network. It?s clear that they are empowered by what they learnt about the dying process, caring at end-of-life, as well as post-death practices such as keeping a person at home after death, organising funerals and so on. But it doesn?t stop there. Other knowledge is acquired ?as they learnt to navigate the ?system? ? how to organise the in-home medical and nursing care needed, how to ask for and get help (or not!) from friends and family, and how to have conversations about end-of-life decisions.

We called this new knowledge ?death literacy? because what we heard again and again in our focus groups with members of these care networks was people saying ?I never knew? but now I do??

The term Death literacy like Health Literacy acknowledges that knowledge has an impact on well-being.

So while this research brought to life the so called ?ordinary? tasks of caring for people who are dying at home, it also highlighted how much knowledge about death and dying we are losing as a community. This point was amplified this weekend in the Sydney Morning Herald Series: The End, which includes an excellent suite of articles and multimedia presentations about the end of life in Australian Society.

A couple of facts that stand out:

  • Intensive care beds and interventions are increasing and more of us are dying surrounded by technology
  • By 2030 there will be 8 deaths per 1000 and 10 years later this will be almost 10 per 1000. (it?s currently 6.5 per 1000)

So? Are you death-literate? And if so?

Where have you gained your knowledge of dying from? What knowledge and skills did you learn as a result?

And if not:

Do you know where to get information about caring for a dying loved one?

Do you know what to do if a loved one dies expectedly at home?

If you needed to organise a funeral do you know how?

Who are the friends, family and community that you can call on for support?

Have you discussed your personal wishes about aged-care (in home or not), organ donation, and your advance care directive with family?

At GroundSwell we are interested sharing, promoting and undertaking community programs that are demystifying death and end of life practices. We encourage you to think about how you might develop your knowledge and know-how.

Obama's insurance requirement not the only mandate - NewsOn6 ...

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - The individual insurance requirement that the Supreme Court is reviewing isn't the first federal mandate involving health care.

There's a Medicare payroll tax on workers and employers, for example, and a requirement that hospitals provide free emergency services to indigents. Health care is full of government dictates, some arguably more intrusive than President Barack Obama's overhaul law.

It's a wrinkle that has caught the attention of the justices.

Most of the mandates apply to providers such as hospitals and insurers. For example, a 1990s law requires health plans to cover at least a 48-hour hospital stay for new mothers and their babies. Such requirements protect some consumers while indirectly raising costs for others.

One mandate affects just about everybody: Workers must pay a tax to finance Medicare, which collects about $200 billion a year.

It's right on your W-2 form, line 6, "Medicare tax withheld." Workers must pay it even if they don't have health insurance. Employees of a company get to split the tax with their employer. The self-employed owe the full amount, 2.9 percent of earnings.

Lindsey Donner, a small-business owner from San Diego, pays the Medicare tax although she and her husband are uninsured. Donner, 27, says she doesn't see much difference between the mandate that workers help finance Medicare and the health care law's requirement that nearly everyone has to have some sort of health insurance.

"My understanding of what is going on in the Supreme Court is that it seems to be something of a semantics issue," she said. "Ultimately, I don't see the big difference. If I am paying for Medicare, why can't I also be paying into something that would help me right now or in five years if I want to have children?"

Donner is a copy writer for businesses; her husband specializes in graphics design. In the past they had a health plan with a high deductible, but they found they were paying monthly premiums for insurance they never used - something she said they couldn't afford on a tight budget.

Under the law, people such as Donner and her husband would have to get insurance or pay a fine. But they may qualify for federal subsidies to help pay premiums for policies that would be more comprehensive. Preventive care would be covered with no co-payments.

"We have jobs, we pay our bills, we pay our taxes," said Donner. "Yet it is very difficult to find affordable, reasonable health care."

There's no question the Medicare payroll tax is a government mandate, said Mark Hayes, former chief health counsel for the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee.

But he makes a distinction between the payroll tax and the individual health insurance mandate in Obama's health care law.

Congress used more clearly defined constitutional powers when it created Medicare. "The power to tax and the power to spend," Hayes said. "Here, with the individual mandate, it's a different question - regulating interstate commerce. This is a novel question from a legal standpoint."

Obama's law makes health insurance both a right and a responsibility for most. It would provide coverage to more than 90 percent of the population, subsidizing private insurance for millions. But it also requires nearly everyone to carry health insurance, either through an employer or a government program, or by buying an individual policy.

The mandate is well within the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce, the administration and the law's supporters contend. Opponents say Congress overstepped constitutional bounds by effectively requiring individuals to purchase a particular product.

Supreme Court justices are trying to determine the distinction between Obama's law and other mandates, and whether it makes a difference.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy raised the matter during oral arguments last week.

Ginsburg brought up Social Security as an example, likening it to a government old-age annuity that everyone is forced to purchase.

"It just seems very strange to me that there's no question we can have a Social Security system (despite) all the people who say: 'I'm being forced to pay for something I don't want,'" she said.

"There's something very odd about that, that the government can take over the whole thing and we all say, 'Oh, yes that's fine,' but if the government wants to ... preserve private insurers, it can't do that."

Kennedy mused that Congress could have created a Medicare-style program for the uninsured, run exclusively by the government without the involvement of private insurers.

"Let's assume that (Congress) could use the tax power to raise revenue and to just have a national health service, single payer," said Kennedy. "How does that factor into our analysis? In one sense, it can be argued that this is what the government is doing; it ought to be honest about the power that it's using and use the correct power.

"On the other hand, it means that since ... Congress can do it anyway, we give a certain amount of latitude," Kennedy continued. "I'm not sure which way the argument goes."

The case may well turn on how Kennedy decides.

Social Security and Medicare are no longer controversial mandates because they are part of the social fabric, said Hayes, the former GOP congressional aide. Not so the health care law's mandate. "Today, this is controversial because it is novel from a legal standpoint and also new from a societal standpoint," he said.

The distinction frustrates supporters of the health care law.

"It's so crazy to think that a society that has Social Security and Medicare would not find this (law) constitutional," said MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who advised both the Obama administration and Massachusetts lawmakers as they developed the state mandate in the 2006 law that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney championed as governor.

"The payroll tax is worse than the mandate, because that is a program where we take your money and there is no ability to get out of it," Gruber said. Citizens can avoid the health insurance mandate by paying a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service.

Other federal health care mandates include:

- The 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. It requires nearly all hospitals to treat and stabilize anyone needing emergency care, regardless of ability to pay or legal U.S. residency. Critics call it an unfunded mandate. It was part of a budget law signed by President Ronald Reagan.

- The 1996 Mental Health Parity Act. It prohibits group health plans from setting lower annual or lifetime dollar limits for mental health benefits as compared with medical and surgical benefits.

- The 1996 Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act. It requires plans offering maternity coverage to pay for at a least a 48-hour hospital stay following most normal deliveries, and 96 hours following a Caesarean section. The mental health parity and maternal health laws were signed by President Bill Clinton.
