WESLACO, Texas - A senior executive with Killam Development says demand for industrial real estate in Mexico and the southern US is accelerating with his company receiving inquires from Alaska, Indiana and Illinois.Rene Alcalá, director of business development, RGV leasing and sales for Killam, was a panelist at the recent State of the RGV Real Estate Forum hosted by the Rio Grande Valley Partnership and RGV First. Killam is developing a large industrial park near the Anzalduas International Bridge in Mission.“The demand for industrial real estate in Mexico and the southern US is accelerating as we saw with Carlos Marquez' and Carlos Telles' presentations,” Alcalá said.Industrial real estate specialists Carlos Marquez and Carlos Telles were on the same panel as Alcalá.“Within the next five to ten years we expect to see an interconnected web of manufacturing, assembly, warehouse logistic facilities emerge as these corporations seek to optimize their supply chains,” Alcalá said.Alcalá asked those in the audience if they remember watching news during COVID and seeing shipping containers stretched out for miles at sea trying to get into the Port of Los Angeles. Supply chains were disrupted and some products were unavailable in the stores, he recalled.“So that is what we want to avoid. The risk mitigation of having to depend on sea transportation of these products rather than buying land (along the border of the US or Mexico). (It) is a lot easier (to buy landO and a lot more cost effective. The distances are shorter. So those are some of the benefits that we see with near-shoring.”Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service website to read the full story.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

For today's show, Dorothy Alpert, Avison Young's Tri-State president, and I discussed my upcoming book, The Insider's Edge To Real Estate Investing – Game Changing Strategies to Outperform the Market.  Dorothy has a great perspective to bring to the table. Dorothy had a 30+ year career at Deloitte, where she focused on strategy and operations consulting in the real estate industry, including leading the firms' real estate services practice in the U.S. where she led significant client relationships. Dorothy is also the co-founder of ULI Women's Leadership Initiative, on the Board of Trustees for the American Red Cross and a former Board Member of The New 42nd Street. Dorothy has been honored as one of Real Estate Forum's Women in Influence: Legends, Real Estate Forum's Women to Watch, and Real Estate New York's Women of Influence. We talked about why there was a need for this book now and why someone should consider investing in the market today.  We covered the things that someone should consider for their first purchase, as well as what makes for a great partner to start with. I think you'll benefit by learning what is most important when inspecting and valuing  a property. We also talked about raising capital and financing the property, as well as the best way to get started.  Lastly, you definitely don't  want to miss the single most important question to ask when investing. As opposed to most of the “fix-it, flip it” and “get rich quick” real estate books out there, The Insider's Edge to Real Estate Investing gives readers actionable steps from building the right team to sourcing opportunities to raising capital to ultimately closing. It will then instruct readers on how to reposition and profit on their investment and build a portfolio for the future.  The book is being published by McGraw Hill and will be available in late January. As one of NYC's top investment sales brokers, I have seen thousands of deals so knows what works and what doesn't. What makes real estate investing so exciting is that by gaining the insider's edge, you can outperform the market. This book will inspire those who have yet to make their first investment and will show veterans how to step up their game. It is a must read for college and masters students focused on real estate as well as those who work in any aspect of the business ranging from brokers to lenders to attorneys. I not only draws on his experience as a broker, but as a partner in two successful real estate funds and as a limited partner in dozens of transactions. I have also gained amazing insight by interviewing over 100 top investors on this podcast, which has now been downloaded over 250,000 times. These are the lessons that I have shared as a guest lecturer at such schools as Columbia, NYU, and Wharton. If you have not done so already, please pre-order your book or arrange for a bulk order at jamesnelson.com. It would mean a lot to me!

Timestamps: [01:10] Laura: Talk us through your journey to Berkadia.  I left Love Funding (Dwight Capital) when the company was bought by a bank and the culture started to change.   The unique culture and technology blew me away when I met with Berkadia's senior management team.   [02:50] Neda: Talk us through your journey to Berkadia and what your role entails.  I joined Berkadia about 9 years ago because we decided to relocate to the Philadelphia area.  I was really impressed with Berkadia's leadership and that is why I joined the company. And the best part is that I have had the opportunity to do several different roles.  I started in compliance then slowly moved into the data and data science group and then evolved into the product team and through that continue to develop the data analytics tools that Berkadia has developed.  [04:20] Neda: Talk us through the digital transformation at Berkadia.  Berkadia is sitting on a lot of data, we service over $350 billion in our servicing portfolio right now as well as over 100 bankers and investment sales advisors.  We have the ability to gather a lot of data from all of the markets across the US and we combine that with other demographics and have built-out a big base for us to build our tools on.  We started to see, how do we bring value with this data and how do we transform our managers directors into advisors, more so than transaction managers.  How do we help our clients make sure that they have the right investment strategies through data-driven analytics? [06:00] Can you give a couple examples of your clients?  Real Estate Investors of all sizes.  Mid-market and institutional investors.  [09:50] Your workforce has doubled, where have you seen the biggest growth at Berkadia? In Berkadia's technology team, we have had exponential growth over the last few years.  Berkadia is a privately held company so when there is any type of downturn, we are able to take advantage and attract good talent to accelerate the company's vision.  [11:15] Can you expand on how Berkadia is engaging with people at different levels in the education system?  We have an employee resource group called Be United, a summer internship program and we are participating in a work-study program.  [13:05] How do you attract people to your teams, what initiatives are working at Berkadia at the moment?  The DIB initiative has launched and it is management's commitment to diversity.   Berkadia's commitment is not just about women but all backgrounds. Bring your YOU to work. Be yourself, and have that freedom to express yourself as yourself so that you feel comfortable sharing your ideas and contributing to the innovation.  We are highlighting individual stories.  Mentoring. [20:25] What products are you working on?  We have a lot of internal data visualisation tools to drive the advice strategy of our producers to help our clients be successful.  We have an external product called redIQ. It is advancing how rent roll statements and operating statements are ingested and analysed.  We have an internal initiative working on tech startups in the real estate industry.   [26:30] What are the different reactions you have seen from your products?  The non-profit, mom and pop oriented are the ones we are trying to get on board.  Larger clients who have portfolios of 20 and more, they get it.  [27:20] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about;  L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Neda: You have to embrace the change.  Neda: Just go for it, whatever you want to achieve, just act like you are already there. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Laura: Our IT and product development team as well as the senior management team.   R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech?

Topic: Lessons from the Real Estate Industry & Beyond   Eastern Union Funding President and Founder Ira Zlotowitz took the commercial real estate mortgage industry by storm at the age of 21, when the budding entrepreneur had a break-out year. This was followed by three years during which he consistently increased already impressive production from the year prior. After that period, he formed Eastern Union Funding, now one of the largest national real estate brokerages servicing the commercial sector and continued to exhibit unmatched growth, establishing a track record as an innovator who has helped define the industry. In the course of his career Mr. Zlotowitz has earned extensive accolades, including being nominated in Crain’s “Forty-Under-40”, NJBiz’s “Forty-under-40”, and honored in Real Estate Forum’s “Tomorrow’s Leaders”. Mr. Zlotowitz – having built Eastern into a national firm with over 100 real estate professionals and closed $2.5 billion in the last 12 months – is in his prime, and, as summarized in a recent Real Estate Weekly feature, Mr. Zlotowitz “set the company apart from its peers in an industry that isn’t exactly known for either cutting-edge technology or low fees." In this wide ranging interview, we cover:   1. Finding Your Path 2. Guidance and Advice 3. Having a great father and the Art Scroll story 4. Pivoting during Covid-19 5. Netflix/Blockbuster 6. How to make a philanthropic impact  7. Advice for troubling times 8. Helping others with Parnassa And much much more!

In this episode, Eric Schleien sits down with Ann Hambly, the Founder/CEO of 1st Service Solutions. I'm a huge fan of Ann, as she transformed the CMBS industry and has also been impacted by the Tribal Leadership technology which I've shared about many times here, here, and here. As one of the managers of Brookfield Asset Management shared with me, "Transforming Culture is the last bastion of alpha due to the low competitive nature of the endeavor." To watch this episode on YouTube, see below or click here. Ann has been involved in literally every aspect of the CMBS industry throughout her 35+ year career. She created from scratch and ran many large servicing shops before creating 1st Service Solutions in 2005. She has been an intentionally integral part in shaping the CMBS industry since its inception. Ann founded 1st Service Solutions in 2005 to address what she saw to be a gaping hole in CMBS.  Unlike ‘on book' commercial real estate loans, there is no ‘banker' for the borrower to speak to after securitization.  In creating what was to become the first borrower advocacy space in commercial real estate, Ann has grown 1st Service Solutions into what is now known as the preeminent CMBS Borrower Advocate practice. The company has been featured on William Shatner's ‘Moving America Forward' show as a company changing the business landscape in America. Ann has been and continues to be highly involved in industry leadership as a featured keynote speaker at conferences across the country speaking on CMBS structure, CMBS workouts, assumptions, and hot topics in the general CRE industry. With the release of her book, ‘CMBS 911,' Ann once again set out to meet an unmet need: explaining, in simplistic and straightforward terms, the roles, responsibilities, and motives of every individual or entity involved in the CMBS process. “The whole process can be overwhelming and confusing for the borrower and there's always a lot on the line,” she explains. The book has gone on to become an industry bestseller and is being adopted into the Purdue College of Business Real Estate curriculum as well as other colleges and universities. In addition to her own book, Ann's expertise has been featured in ‘True Leaders: How Exceptional CEOs and Presidents Make a Difference by Building,' ‘Trends in Commercial-Mortgage Backed Securities,' and ‘The Law of Distressed Real Estate.' Ann is also a prolific contributor to many, many real-estate and business-related publications having published 50+ articles, commentaries, and columns in such publications as the Commercial Real Estate Show, the Commercial Observer, Scotsman Guide, GlobeSt.com, Mortgage Bankers Magazine, National Real Estate Investor, Real Estate Business, Real Estate Forum, and Reuters among others. Jurists frequently request Ann's involvement in high-profile cases regarding commercial real estate because of her vast and varied experience. She has been called upon to provide expert reports, depositions, testimonies, and professional consulting services on many high profile cases. Ann is a member of the Board of Directors of the Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) and has been an active member of C12, a Christian CEO group, for the past several years. In addition, she has previously served on or as the chairman of the Board of Directors for the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), the Commercial Mortgage Securitization Association (CMSA), the Multifamily Housing Institute, and the Real Estate Capital Recovery Association (RECRA). Throughout her lengthy career, Ann has received many, many professional awards and citations. Among them are the induction in the Commercial Real Estate's Hall of Fame, numerous times designation as a ‘Legend and Woman of Influence in Commercial Real Estate' by Real Estate Forum, named a ‘Top 10 Most Distinguished Women in Real Estate' by the Mortgage Bankers Association, selected as a member of the prestigious Real Estate Roundtable, and named as one of six ‘Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate' by National Real Estate Investor to name a few. Ann lives in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and enjoys time spent with her family, especially her six grandkids.   HELP OUT THE PODCAST If you like The Intelligent Investing Podcast, please consider leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

Vice President of sales and marketing at Knight Homes, Biff Driver, joins co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick on Radio for the first time. Driver discusses Knight Homes' developments and what makes its communities stand out from the competition on this All About Real Estate Segment of Radio. Driver joined the home building and real estate industry in 2000. He has been in and out of sales and management, but his passion is in new home sales. Founded over 40 years ago, Knight Homes has since sold over 8,000 homes. Knight Homes builds primarily south of Atlanta and in 2018 was awarded Builder of the Year by Metro South Chapter of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. The company has already closed on 400 homes this year and is expected to grow 30-40% this year despite COVID-19. The quality of Knight Homes is what makes it stand out from the competition. “I'll put us up against any of the competition,” said Driver. “When you walk in their home and then our home it feels like walking into a starter home and then a custom home. I know that sounds big, it's big talk, but we can back it up.” Knight Homes has many communities already established in the metro Atlanta area, with several coming soon. Towne Center Starting at a price of $205,900, this new gated community is located in Hampton, Georgia a few miles from the Atlanta Motor Speedway. These three- to four-bedroom homes barely have in the framing and are already selling due to the attractive price point and convenient location. Barnsley Farms Priced from the $500,000s, this community of high-end Craftsmen and Farmhouse style homes is located in Senoia, widely considered the “film capital of Georgia.” These homes have a nice custom look with farm sinks, shiplap walls, covered porches and more within their 3,000 to 4,000 square feet of living space. Residents enjoy proximity to Peachtree City, Sharpsburg and Newnan. Atkins Place Starting at $372,900, these large upscale homes are located in Fayette County and sit on 1+ acre wooded homesites. Ranging from a spacious 3,200 to 4,000 square feet of space, these homes are sure to impress with the gourmet kitchens, over-sized owner's retreats and fine craftsmanship that exude a custom feel. Coming soon Knight Homes has an astounding 39 neighborhoods in production. Coming soon is a new townhome community in Cherokee County, along with Peppertree in Newnan, Traditions at Crystal Lake in Hampton and more. COVID-19 Knight Homes has been utilizing Zoom and digital technology in light of COVID-19 (coronavirus), as well as providing hand sanitizer, masks for agents and more. Despite the toll the pandemic has had on many businesses, Knight Homes continues to do well. “With our price point we feel like that's been the reason we've been able to be successful through this downturn,” said Driver. “People want to get out of different housing and into their own home.” For more information on Knight Homes and its communities, visit www.KnightHomes.com or call their online sales counselor at 678-577-9086.

Ryan Simonetti, CEO of Brookfield-backed Convene, joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker in an inspiring episode on leadership and optimism on the future of commercial real estate. Ryan shares the core values that’s helped make Convene successful over the last decade, what’s enabled him to take decisive action during the Covid pandemic, why he believes we’re in the middle of “The Great Accelerator", how office as an asset class is going through a transformation and why buildings without Space-as-as-Service will struggle in the future. Connect with Ryan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rwsimonetti Connect with Caleb on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Caleb_Parker   If you have any questions or feedback on this episode, email podcast@workbold.co Questions asked in this episode You were quoted a couple years ago with saying that only 2 things keep you up at night: your 2 year old and your company’s culture. Can you talk about the culture you’ve built at Convene?  Often business leaders keep quiet on topics that become politically polarized, but you’ve been vocal on social media sharing what you believe. Is that risky? Do you think more business leaders should take a stance? You made the decision early on to close all Convene locations, even before the Government mandated lockdowns. What drove that decision?  ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It’s an understatement to say this is a difficult time - how do you balance maintaining optimism with facing the realities of today? What makes you optimistic about the future of our industry? You’ve been talking a lot about hybrid and virtual events - do you expect this to last long-term? How is this going to affect occupancy or vacancy rates in commercial assets? How do you think our industry needs to evolve to keep up with the growing demand for SPaaS? Do you think #CRE needs an asset class for Space-as-a-Service? What is your advice to commercial real estate leaders who are not convinced that SPaaS is the future of #CRE? Value Bombs and tweetables Leadership At the core of a company's culture is a set of beliefs and values - core non-negotiables. Core values are the high bar for which a company hires talent and the lens through which all decisions are made. GRIT as a core value stands for: Genuine, Relentless, Integrity, Teamwork, and is required for any disruptive company to succeed. Integrity is the most important core value. Business is the greatest team sport of all. We’ll see more companies and executives take a proactive stance to have a positive impact on societal issues. “As the leader of a company I need to speak out on behalf of our team, and what we believe as a company is the right thing to do.” The decisions that companies make during this pandemic will impact their value for decades to come. Future of #CRE This crisis will be seen as the great accelerator for the Future of Work and Space-as-a-Service trends we’ve been seeing. Many of these trends that were expected to take 15-20 years for change to take effect will now happen in 3-5 years. Hybrid and virtual events and work is here to stay long-term. Talent wants choice, flexibility and experience. Shift toward the individual, not the company, being in control specific to when, where and how we work Remote work will make up 25-35% of a company’s workforce #CRE needs to support people working in the HQ and remotely If an asset doesn’t offer Space-as-a-Service it’s going to struggle   About Ryan Simonetti Ryan Simonetti is the CEO and co-founder of Convene, the company that designs and services premium places to work, meet, and host inspiring events.

Homesites in the preserve range in size, averaging over one acre of spacious land. The Sterling on the Lake model home is situated on a one-acre homesite and starts from $579,900.

Regional Partner of North Georgia Peter Michelson and Director of Market Development of Alair Homes Shane Duff are in studio today. Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, the group convened for today's All About Real Estate edition of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss Alair Homes. At the core, Alair Homes is a custom home and remodeling company. Started by a husband and wife in 2007, Alair Homes started off as a small, family-owned custom home building service. After a tremendous amount of success due to carefully planned project execution and transparency, Alair Homes grew quickly in the first year of operations. After the success of a third location ran by a friend across the country, the owners of Alair Homes realized with the help of like-minded and hard-working individuals, they could expand their company while also remaining true to the core values implemented at the beginning. In 2012, Alair Homes started to grow into the franchise it is today, expanding to eventually reach 94 offices, over 120 owners and over 500 project managers worldwide. “That was the birth of Alair Homes as is it is today,” said Duff. “They realized we can really build this better together. Two minds are always better than one.” The Atlanta location for Alair Homes is located in downtown Decatur. The Alair model has a project management focus at its core. This means the project manager leads the client through the entire process of project planning all the way through to construction. Due to the incredible focus on hands-on management, Alair Homes only builds within five to six miles of Decatur. This ensures that everyone involved in a new home or remodel project is easily accessible and available. In addition to the hands-on nature, Alair is also known for creating beautiful and unique homes. “Every project we do is custom,” said Michelson. “Every client's project is a prototype because we only do it once.” In 2020, Alair is looking to expand its presence in North Georgia. Its goal is to identify three phenomenal builders who care about their clients, employees and trade partners and who embody “living better starts here.” The Alair team is looking for three builders who want to scale their business and join the franchise to better serve all of North Georgia. Because Alair represents it's core ideals and motivations in every aspect of the home building process, finding partners is a selective process. While Alair is looking for three builders, they are also looking for more clients to bring into the mix. “What is so unique about the experience our clients have at Alair is the client control process,” said Michelson. “Everything is fully transparent. We believe in the relationship with our clients and that the experience of building and developing their project is equally as important as the quality of the work and transparency that goes into it.” To learn more about how to get started building a custom home or remodeling project with Alair Homes in Decatur, visit www.AlairHomes.com/decatur.

Sales & Marketing Manager of Piedmont Residential Shelby Feinberg is in studio with co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick. Feinberg goes into detail on the latest happenings with Piedmont Residential, including its newest 55+ active adult communities. With the mission of building affordable homes, Piedmont Residential builds mainly for first-time buyers. Recently, the company has branched out towards 55+ active adults. To help keep homes affordable, Piedmont Residential builds basic layouts with plenty of customization options for future buyers. This allows everyone to stay on budget, while also allowing for the addition of unique upgrades along the way. “You can take a four-bedroom home that starts in the $220,000s, and you can add options to bring it all the way up to a $300,000s home,” said Feinberg. “Or, that $220,000 four-bedroom spaces is a very livable, move-in ready home.” Building in several cities and counties around Georgia, you can purchase a Piedmont Residential home in Cherokee, Paulding, Newnan and Hoschton. In the communities, available for all types of buyers, future homeowners have almost ten unique floorplans to choose from. These plans offer a wide set of desirable features including master on main plans, ranch style homes, flex space and three to five bedrooms. Pickens County is also home to the newest 55+ community available. Piedmont Village is an active adult community in Jasper, Ga. This community offers the August and the Waterford floorplan and starts from the $220,000s. The first plan is a ranch-style home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second plan is a three-bedroom home with two stories and a master on main layout. Both homes feature a built-in covered patio, perfect for outdoor living! “We are talking about them more as a cottage-style product,” said Feinberg. “They nestle in so well in the mountain scape of jasper. We are really excited about what is to come at Piedmont Village in 2020.” Another active adult community by Piedmont Residential is High Shoals. This established community is welcoming Phase II and is now taking presales. Interested buyers are encouraged to visit the beautifully decorated model home available for viewing onsite. The model home features the incredibly popular Turnbridge floorplan. To find out all about what's going on with Piedmont Residential, listen to the full interview above.

Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio's sponsor for 2020 joins co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick in this New Year's Day Radio episode. Southeast Regional Manager of New American Funding Gina Spearman is in studio to discuss the company and the new sponsorship. Spearman is a 25-year veteran of the mortgage lending business and a business partner of Kelly Allison for 20 years! Three years ago, Spearman, Allison and the rest of their team joined New American Funding to help grow the southeast market. “I think what we're most proud of is the fact that we have really been able to provide homeownership in so many communities throughout the southeast,” said Spearman. “We are honored and proud to say that along with a lot of our great referral partners, Realtors, builders and the homebuying community that we provided homeownership for over 8,000 families in 2019.” New American Funding realizes that providing a mortgage is a transaction, but also understand it is a process that provides homeownership and helps fulfil dreams. New American Funding is a national and direct lender, meaning they hold the mortgages themselves. In most cases, buyers and borrowers make payments directly to New American Funding as opposed to a bank branch or chain. Spearman dives into the benefits of being a direct lender including the following. Customer Service Accessibility and Interaction with the Original Loan Officer Referral Partners Appear on Mortgage Statement Increased Branding for Referral Partners Stability and Peace of Mind for Borrowers New American Funding serves several market sectors due to its abundance of resources and the product mix available to them as a national organization. From serving the first-time homebuyer who needs extra guidance, to helping clients with an in-house rescore program designed for borrowers who have had a rough time or extenuating circumstances, New American Funding handles a myriad of different cases. Priding themselves in being a one-stop-shop, New American Funding can handle any and all lending needs. “We try to put our money where our mouth is,” said Spearman. “If we say we are committed to homeownership to those that are deserving, then you have to have the tools and the resources in-house to make that happen. You can't be a cherry picker and just provide loans to people with an 800-credit score with 20 percent down.” Not only does New American Funding provide all conventional loans including FHA, VA and USDA, but it also offers any down payment assistance programs available in the market. One of the more popular products, especially among first-time homebuyers, is the 100 percent financing program.
