CCIM Thrive Conference Atlanta 2016 Pearl #2

Pearl #2 comes from Dr. Glenn Mueller. 

A brief bio: 

With 35 years of real estate industry experience, including 26 years of research, Glenn Mueller is a professor for the Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management at Denver University, one of the oldest and largest programs in the country. Mueller’s research experience includes real estate market-cycle analysis, real estate securities analysis, real estate capital markets, portfolio and diversification analysis, seniors housing analysis and both public and private market-investment strategies. He is also the real estate investment strategist at Dividend Capital Group, where he provides real estate market-cycle research and investment strategy for Dividend Capital’s Real Estate Securities, Private Real Estate Investment, Private REIT and Real Estate Debt groups. He is also the co-editor of the Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management.

Dr. Mueller presented attributes of the 2016 Physical Cycle and Financial Cycle we have seen thus far:

2016 Physical Cycle
  • Cycles can be Long or Short
  • LONG economic expansion means LONG real estate UP Cycle
  • Cycles can be driven by Demand or Supply
  • Supply growth slowest in 2013 - now increasing moderately
  • Growth phase of cycle 2014-2020? (depending on market and property type)
2016 Financial Cycle
  • Capital flows affect prices - volatile stock market and low bond rates
  • Real estate more Stable and Safer investment?
  • Debt financing harder in this cycle - more cash down
  • Low new construction
  • DIFFERENTIATE residential ownership versus commercial real estate to your investors!
Overall, Dr. Mueller was positive yet cautious toward the future of commercial real estate in the United States. 

Whereas interest rates are still some of the lowest in US history, tax deductions still remain in place, new commercial construction projects are slow to come out of the ground due to regulations, and therefore rental rates will continue to rise. 

Among the caveats were the steady lowering cap rates and the possible future interest rate increases,tax increases, and/or more regulations.

CCIM Conference Atlanta October 24 & 25, 2016 Pearls

Last week Bonnie and I attended the 2016 CCIM Thrive Conference in Atlanta. There were so many pearls derived from the sessions and speakers, we want to share some interesting observations through our blog posts.

Pearl #1

@Frank Luntz, Expert Communication Strategist from Luntz Global(keynote speaker)gave us the following:


21 Words for the 21st Century

Imagine
Peace of Mind
I get it
Real results/Real solutions
No conflicts/Hidden relationships
A real problem-solver
No excuses
Our first responsibility
Our mission/commitment
What makes us different
No surprises/No fine print
You decide
Maximize your value
Genuine accountability
You deserve
You're in control
Total alignment
We have to earn your loyalty
On your side
Measurable track record
Respecting/Protecting hardworking taxpayers


The one message highlighted more in this conference than any of the previous conferences: there is a lot of change coming. Change to our industry, change to the workforce, and change in the way we need to conduct business moving forward.

And, we have a choice. We can choose to look for the opportunities. Or, like the skeptics at the beginning of the auto industry, we can choose to mock the innovators of our day (by brushing off the change and telling them to go buy a good horse)or we can still continue to look for the next biggest thing in good horse whips. Either way,those looking to hold onto the past will remain in the past. The good news is for those looking to embrace the change and the future, the opportunities are extremely bright and the playing field has been leveled in many of the different job segments.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
