Brookfield, " Boom or Bust"

August 17, 2009

Analysis of:Brookfield's $4.9-billion bet on the bottom | www.theglobeandmail.com

With Brookfields stocks closing at $6.38, down from a onetime $131.00 and the continuing volatility of the real estate market, Brookfield may be trying to predict the future.Purged on the peak of an "A" framed roof, Brookfield has two directions in which to fall. A fall on one side will mean certain death and disaster to the already tarnished name. Yet a fall from the opposite side may be the tumble into the safety net that just happens to be lined with real soft multiple dollar bills.

Pulte and Centex Sitting in a tree

Analysis of:Pulte Homes in $3.1 billion merger | money.cnn.com

With the merger of Pulte Homes and the Centex Corp, I ask myself two very important questions, first that comes to mind is Pulte's availability to be able to effectively operate some of Centex's subsidies on the commercial and industrial levels of construction and  number two, will Pulte be able to maintain the number one rating position of all builders in customer satisfaction.  My experience speaks a clear history. Having held numerous titles with numerous National Home Builders, Centex Homes employed me as Director of Customer Care Services,  in the Northeast Division. The problem was, that the production department was always given a free hand. This lent to a mindfulness that building em as quickly and inexpensively as possibly, was far more important that providing excellent customer services as does Pulte Homes. I am sure that Pulte has the horse power to achieve this, however, how much deadwood will need to be removed in order to do so? Good Luck to Pulte 

Housing Market and the lower income

June 12, 2008

Analysis of:Housing woes won’t end soon … | www.usatoday.com

  Does the glut and greed of the American homebuyers control the market prices? Can Americans ever recover from such an embattled real estate market and enjoy making 80 thousand, 90 ninety, or even 100,000 thousand dollars in just over two to three weeks as our market has afforded us? As the old saying goes, the meek shall inherit the Earth. 

Suffering Hotels

Analysis of:Hotels Most Vulnerable to Recession Scenario | nreionline.com

With the spiraling down turn of the economic situation in America today, the hotel industry will be and is hit the hardest, hit with the loss of earned revenues. Hotels are mostly assciated with vacation and travel when in reality, the core of their existance is hinged by business tributaries on a very large  gobal scale. Perhaps if you envisioned the process as a real estate illness rather than the all American way to earn a buck. When business slows, travel slows and so on and so on and so on. The most common denominater will be the the inability for hotels to meet their financal responsibilities thus giving way to banks trying with wide eyed amazement treating the hotel industry something else then that unlike a common home, I do not be that there will be a governmental shoring to the Hotel, so with little support and the fact that the banks no longer wish to manage that type of real estate loss and foreclosing on the small Mom and Pop organizations. Remember the rising gas price.
