Real Estate Management

at the Corporate and Worldclass level.

Managing property at the million sq ft level and above puts you in a very lofty class - world class in fact. Having what it takes to operate at that level is beyond all but a small percentage of the real estate firms or corporate real estate offices.

World Class Real Estate measures corridors in miles or kilometers. And that is at one location.

When you can spend a full day walking the property and not get to all the places you need to see you are at the World Class level.

We count elevators by the dozen.

Power loads are enough to make the local electric company call when our demand drops.

Security is a 24 hour 7 day requirement.

Water usage is measured in thousand gallon per minute flow rates.

Managers and owners working at this level require training, skill and a vast knowledge of many different technologies. Skills taught in few places and often learned the hard way.

Here we have collected a directory and resource - a reference point - for those at that level.

And of course, those who would like to be at that level.

Do you run at these levels? If you do, or want to, let us know.

Welcome to the Multi-Million SqFt Club!

Real Estate Investment - When, What and Where?
Natalie Aranda 

Like economy and stock market, real estate often runs in cycles of approximately 7-10 years. The value of real estate often goes up for a few years, tops out, keeps flat or goes down for 2-3 years. The availability of low interest rate mortgage and recovery of economy will eventually jump-start a new cycle of real estate growth. Novice investors tend to invest at the top of the market while wishing the market will go even higher to reap a quick profit. Smart money, however, buys real estate at, or near, the bottom of the market when most of investors are reluctantly and don't have the financial power to buy.

Beside the life cycle of real estate market, individual property has its own life cycle. Properties can be purchased at pre construction, as new home inventory or as owned properties.

What

Single family home has traditionally been the preferred option of real estate investment for many individuals. Instead of selling their first residential home and moving to a bigger house, some home owners choose to keep their first home and rent it out by using a property management company. The new trend in real estate investment is to own hotel condos or vacation homes. There're many advantages of owning hotel condos or vacation homes.

Where

Once your investment options are not limited to residential properties, the location of property isn't limited to the place where you live. Hotel condos and vacation are, of course, often located at well-known resorts, from Vail Colorado to Miami, Florida.

Real estate investment is a complex decision making process. Most investors will seek help from real estate professionals. Nowadays, with the vast amount of information freely available on the Internet, search engines are where people start doing their own homework. For instance, typing Miami Pre Construction in Google, Yahoo or MSN search engine, you'll see a list of pages where you can locate the information about buying real estate at pre construction at Miami, Florida.
