Why are Commercial Appraisals so Expensive?

by Administrator on Apr 28, 2015 Real Estate 3694 Views

It is my opinion that appraisers try first and foremost to bargain for a reasonable compensation for their time. Most appraisers know what they need to pay their monthly bills and they know what their appraisal volume is assuming that the market for their services is moderate to strong. Single-family residential (SFR) appraisals within tract home developments in Las Vegas, Nevada typically command a fee of about $ 350 since many of these reports take only a few hours of travel and a few hours of form completion to complete. When these same reports are done in a rural setting with hours of traveling required or when property sales are few and far between the assignment fees can be considerably higher.

What Happens to Leases When a Property is Sold?

by Administrator on May 8, 2016 Real Estate 2048 Views

Leases are contracts that encumber a property even after a real property is sold. So if you acquire an industrial building that is already leased and the lease allows five options to the tenant for 5 year for each option the tenant has rights to rent the building for at least 25 more years. So if you think you are going to purchase the building and eject the tenant you are in for a big disappointment. Why would an owner give a tenant renewal options that can continue to control the use of a property over a 25-year term? There are a number of motivations. Some tenants have to make significant tenant improvements. A dentist for example may want to make improvements that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and they can't make them if their lease will expire after 3 to 5 years.

Las Vegas - Moving in the Right Direction

by Administrator on Apr 12, 2017 Real Estate 2346 Views

Let me start by saying that I'm not a sportsman, and while I have attended some Phoenix Suns basketball games and the odd football and hockey game in the past I'm simply not spellbound by the games or the players. That doesn't mean that I do not see their popularity. It's common knowledge that the mix of gaming and entertainment in Las Vegas has turned decidedly toward entertainment over the past years. That's why places like the Container Park have been developed and why shopping square footage continues to expand.

Real Property Forecasts and Predictions

by Administrator on Jun 12, 2019 Real Estate 1253 Views

This article is based on my reading and interpretation of the Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC) Real Estate 2020 – Building the Future Report / forecast. So some of it is my opinions based on what I have read. PWC appear to be saying in the report that the future of real estate is going to include an explosion of people and that they will be going to places where they want to be. They discuss the fact that popular large Cites in the World and in the US are likely to become mega-cities over the next several years, and popular secondary cities will likely become large-scale cities. There’s just no arguing the fact that the population curve is now aimed up at an ever-increasing slope and that increasing population is one of those trends that will change everything. PWC has looked at the World and to some extent they see more movement in developing countries than we will likely see in the developed US, but we are all on the same World population growth path. So there with be many more peo
