Throughout the country, home prices are at an all-time low so what better time to purchase the correct investment property for you. When purchasing an investment property, making sure you get maximum return is important since your cash-flow depends on it. In the reading “Angus Cartwright III,” Angus himself is a well-known investment advisor, after his father. In Arlington, Virginia there is the DeRight family, which is a very wealthy group that has two family members looking to invest in the right property. In 2003, John sold his business for an exchange in $18 million dollars in stock, while his sister Judy owns her own chemical business that is creating plenty of revenue. With us knowing this, we can assume there will no issue with putting enough cash-down on the property of their choices. With Angus Cartwright III as there lead investor advisor, he provides an extensive breakdown on the 4 investment properties that both DeRight’s will view.…
After analysis of Mr. Alexander’s proposal, it is obvious why he should take advantage of a real estate investment opportunity. The experience he would gain coupled with the added income would establish a solid foundation for making more investments in the future. To this end, however, I find Alexander’s plan for the Revere Street property falls short. A major deficiency is that his projections are almost entirely predicated on estimates and assumptions that are neither conservative nor reliable. In a similar vein, Alexander’s “DIY” approach is not only exemplar of naiveté, but also suggestive of many implications that were overlooked in his proposal. And, even more discouraging, a best-case scenario analysis reveals that even without complication, there is little room for error afforded by the plan. Therefore, I would not advise Alexander to move forward with his investment strategy, as its potential for reward is far outweighed by its risk.…

Founded shortly after 1920, Australand (ALZ) is now a commercial conglomerate specializing in the development and sales of high-end commercial, retail and residential housing (Australand.com.au, 2014). Being an Australian based company with a diversity of investment options, the company has also seen tremendous growth; especially through mergers and acquisitions. These have not only helped the company position in the growth mode but also facilitate its global strategic positioning (InvestSmart, 2011). In the move, the company has undertaken numerous strategic mergers and acquisitions from its initial registration as TM Burke Pty Ltd (1920). Among these include the Hooker Corporation merger (1990) and the Walker Corporation acquisition (2000) among others. Nonetheless, the mergers and acquisitions the company has engaged have always spurred its growth leading to the wholesale property and property-linked trusts being established by the company’s operational wing.…

We examine the use (and non-use) of list price information in the process of marketing commercial real estate. While housing market research suggests that list prices can serve as a strong anchor and/or signal, list price information is included in less than one-third of the commercial property sales and is less likely to be included as part of the sellers’ offering information for larger and more complex properties. Given the potentially powerful effect of list prices (first offers) on outcomes, the non-use of list price information is a puzzle. We speculate that the limited use of list prices may be due to the sellers’ interests in both maintaining their informational advantage and not truncating higher than expected offers, especially during periods of economic growth or with more complex properties. Using a two-stage selection correction model, we find that office properties which provide list price information are, on average, associated with lower price outcomes (ceteris paribus) and that these outcomes vary by price cohort and economic condition. It is important to note, however, that while these findings identify a correlation, they do not necessarily imply causation. Our results support the notion that asymmetric information and information signaling play a dominant role in explaining the sellers’ strategic non-use of list price information in the commercial real estate market and that the signaling effect is more pronounced in higher priced properties and during periods of strong economic growth.…
