Are You Ready to Take Real Estate to the Next Level?

These days, I'm asked more frequently to address real estate related topics than any of the other areas where I help people to raise capital and structure their businesses. The area where I specialize in real estate is known as real estate syndication. Syndication means putting many investors together into a pool and then a general manager, managing director or general partner invests that money into an asset on behalf of all of the partners who put money into the deal. The investing partners are generally silent partners and the manager has virtually complete control (within reason) of all the activities of the partnership.

Have We Hit The Bottom?

In November 2009, I said that the bottom is a historical concept (http://tinyurl.com/yk3zfmb) and that "the only time you ever know where the bottom of the market was is by reading the paper a week, a month, or a year after that bottom has occurred." Instead of focusing on the bottom, let's look for trends that point to the market moving north. I'll start by offering a good one.

Real Estate Syndication: Does A New World Need a New Way?

The world has gotten sufficiently complicated, where many of the rules that have been written in the past need to be broken or disregarded so that we can move forward and break through the log jam.

If The Economy Is Down, Why Is The Stock Market Surging?

Many of us in the world of finance are staring at the financial pages day after day wondering how is it possible that unemployment is off the chart, yet the stock market is surging. We all understand that unemployment is a lagging indicator and that the economy absolutely cleans up and repairs itself long before hiring starts to take place, but many of us financial people are wondering "is there really a corporate reinvigoration underway?"
