America’s Commercial Real Estate Show Expands from 11 to 40 Radio Stations

  

Michael Bull

 ATLANTA, GA,  (Nov. 14, 2014) --- The weekly radio show hosted by Michael Bull which began four years ago on one station in Atlanta is now broadcast on 40 stations across the country. 

The show provides investors, and corporate and institutional investors, advisors and occupiers of commercial real estate, a source for valuable information and best practices.

The forecasts, sector updates and market intelligence intrigue a vast audience of people looking for ideas, advice and fresh talk radio content.

 As talk radio news and business radio stations clamor to increase listeners and advertisers, the Commercial Real Estate Show has become a welcome addition to station lineups.

 According to a recent study by Bridge Ratings covered by Talkers Magazine, talk radio is experiencing “listener fatigue” from an over saturation of shows related to politics. The Commercial Real Estate Show’s “insightful analysis and enlightening discussions” are attracting affiliate radio stations nationwide.

The Biggest Drag on Home Ownership: Down Payments or Debt?

Mel Watt

IRVINE, CA -- RealtyTrac recently analyzed affordability in more than 500 counties nationwide, looking at the impact of lowering the down payment for conventional loans (those that can be sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) from the traditional 20 percent to as low as 3 percent — as has been suggested recently by FHFA director Mel Watt as a way to “increase access for creditworthy but lower-wealth borrowers”.

While lower down payments may help pave a quicker path to homeownership for some prospective homebuyers, a bigger obstacle to homeownership is the additional non-mortgage debt many borrowers bring to the table.

 For borrowers without additional debt, monthly house payments are affordable in more than 90 percent of U.S. housing markets — whether they make a 20 percent or 3 percent down payment.

But for borrowers with the additional debt burden of student loans and car payments, monthly house payments are affordable in less than half of U.S. housing markets with a 3 percent down payment.

Ronnie Issenberg

MIAMI, FL – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of the fee-simple interest in Cité Retail Shops and Land, 17,897 square feet of retail space located at the base of a six-story Miami condominium building as well as 7,850 square feet (0.18 acres) of developable land.

The asset sold for $10,000,000.

Ronnie Issenberg and Gabriel Britti, vice president investments, in Marcus & Millichap’s Miami office, represented the buyer, a limited liability company from New York City.

“The buyer was attracted to the rare opportunity to purchase prime retail real estate as well as a highly coveted development site located on one of the highest profile corridors in South Florida,” says Issenberg. 

“Whereas most local investors shy away from having to deal with mixed-use associations, our client, who owns numerous mixed-use properties in Manhattan, finds value in owning multiple ground floor condo units,” adds Britti. “He can manage the property using a larger economy of scale and shift tenants to different units in the property, based on their needs.”

Gabriel Britti

The retail space is 96 percent leased to Citibank, The Daily Creative Food Co. and seven other popular retailers. The 0.18 acres of developable land has 75 feet of frontage along NE 20th Terrace and is zoned to allow up to 500 units per acre and a maximum height of 36 stories.

The property is located at 2001 Biscayne Boulevard, surrounded by Miami’s trendiest neighborhoods including Midtown and the Design District to the north, Downtown and Brickell to the south and Miami Beach on the east.
