When you're researching locations for your next home or apartment, you shouldn't limit yourself to searching real estate sites.

Commercial-property owners are strategically walking away from their underwater properties handing the keys to lenders. However, such commercial property owners should be wary of several important factors before implementing such strategy.

SOME BASICS

Many Commercial property owners face the dilemma of paying for a property worth less than its debt or strategically walking away from it. Many commercial property owners are opting to walk away despite the fact they have the money to pay for their obligations.  The question arises if such practice despite its moral problems in the business world poses serious and longstanding threats to such property owners.

SOME PROBLEMS

1. ENSURE THE COMMERCIAL LOAN IS NON-RECOURSE: Although most commercial loans are non-recourse, this assumption for all such loans is not logical and warranted. Non-recourse loans are loans the personal assets of the property owner are not usually subject to forfeiture. In non-recourse loans, the lender could only forfeit the property and its cash flow. Accordingly, it is prudent to ensure such loans are, in fact, non-recourse.

2. ENSURE YOUR REPUTATION IN THE INDUSTRY IS NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED: The bedrock of a successful and long-lasting business relationship is trust and credibility. If a commercial property owner with cash in hand forgets those fundamentals, how does such property owner expect to be trusted again by the same people and entities? In fact, such property owners do not own only one commercial property or one type of loan, other loans or future loans might be affected as well.

Advice and tips on real estate for homeowners and homebuyers.

Since late April, U.S. stock assets have labored in an extensive period of corrective activity. Bulls believe that the pullback is helping to restore health to the markets. They contend that the ”weak” always run for the hills, providing opportunity for savvy shoppers to buy great bargain companies at discounted prices.

Bears explain that the lengthy period of volatile price movement is merely a prelude to the next great disaster. Not only will sovereign debt default fears be troublesome, but austerity programs to help alleviate unsustainable deficit spending will damage economic prospects. On top of that, bank balance sheets will be exposed, real estate will “double dip,” and stock prices will erode rapidly.

Over 100 Ferraris, with a total estimated value of over $75 million, rev their engines for the Second Annual Ferrari Hampton Rally, hosted by Founder Nathaniel Christian

Ferrari enthusiasts got their fix this past Saturday as Nathaniel Christian, Founder, and Ferrari enthusiast, hosted the Second Annual Ferrari Hamptons Rally at Georgica Restaurant & Lounge. Drivers celebrated the summer season with an East End afternoon filled with exclusive world-renowned vehicles, stylish surroundings, gourmet bites and refreshing cocktails.

The luxe event was held at one of East Hampton’s finest dining and nightlife venues with an invitation-only guest-list of jet-setters, from celebrities and socialites, to media and business moguls. Over 100 Ferrari aficionados partook in the rally, cruising past breathtaking estates, polo fields, vineyards, marinas and the ocean, all of which was preceded by an intimate brunch reception. Following the rally, drivers and guests enjoyed a late afternoon fête, which was complete with specialty cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

As founder and host of the event, Nathaniel Christian is a Ferrari enthusiast and collector — the long time New York resident credits his passion and fondness for the history and craftsmanship of the vehicles as his inspiration for the event. Nathaniel Christian has become a luxury lifestyle expert, as a real estate, fashion, restaurant and nightlife entrepreneur.

The impressive list of event lifestyle sponsors included Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Bombardier Flex Jets, Ameriprise Financial Services, Dayton & Sydney Wealth Strategies, Panoramic View Resort & Residences, and Putnam Leasing.

cool video from an Open Innovation experiment from The Astonishing Tribe.

What we think of as a screen or display is set to change a lot in the coming years. Only last week Engadget posted about LG showing off a 9.7-inch color e-paper display and a 19-inch flexible e-paper display with speculation that we’ll see them in mass production by the end of the year. I’m not sure about that but we’re definitely moving in that direction where we think less about sitting in front of a screen and more about any surface having display capability. It starts to open up all sorts of possibilities – lots of which are in this video and more you can see in the Office 2019 video.

Our own Envisioning Lab here at Microsoft shows the potential of large touchscreens and the Microsoft Home which is right around the corner from it, augments our life with screens on all manner of surfaces. They're both simulated environments so the 2019 video and the one above I think are great examples of how this stuff really comes to life.

Here’s one experiment you can try to see how screen size opens more potential. I was sat in an office last week that had very comfy seats and great sound system and projector. It’s the kind of space I wished I had at home and I did something I’m surprised I’d not really done before. I hooked up my laptop to the projector which turned a wall in to my screen. The real estate that gave me to visualize what I was working on was incredible. It was a dramatically different experience.

Give it a try…see what you think.

Whether you’re just getting started in the new school year or have been out of college for years, most of us have to regularly remember new information and often teach it to others.  Here’s a neat way you can use OneNote to help you memorize information with digital flashcards.

Microsoft OneNote is a great tool for taking notes and storing information you don’t want to lose.  But sometimes, simply storing information in our computers isn’t enough – we need to store it in our brain, too!  One great way to make yourself remember information is to review it, then test yourself on your new knowledge.  Flashcards are great for this, so here’s how you can bring flashcards into the 21st century with OneNote.

Please note: We’re using OneNote 2010 in this article, but the same trick works in all versions of OneNote!

To make a flashcard, first enter the word you want to remember on a new OneNote notebook page, then enter the definition in the next line below it.  You could make the word bold and the definition italicized to help you differentiate them, if you like.  Now, with the cursor at the beginning of the definition, click Indent in the toolbar.

Now, hover over the word, and you’ll see a blue box appear.  Move your mouse over it, and double-click the blue box.

This will hide your definition, and turn the box into a double box.

Now you can simply view the definition by double-clicking the box again.  Once you’ve reminded yourself, double-click to re-hide the definition.

Now simply repeat this trick to make a whole set of flashcards.  You could even make them while you’re taking notes in class!  Whenever you want to review, just open OneNote and review your terms and definitions.

Need to help your child or sibling brush up on their multiplication tables?  OneNote flashcards work great!

You can even use this trick to make flashcards with pictures.  For example, you could make flashcards to help you practice foreign language vocabulary.  Simply find a picture of an object, then write the name of the item in the other language under the picture.  Intent and hide the text as above.  Then you can use this to memorize the word itself, or as a easy way to test your spelling of the word.

OneNote is a very versatile tool, so if you’re just getting started with it, be sure to check out our Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started With OneNote.  Or, if you don’t have OneNote yet, you can download a trial for free directly from Microsoft.  Let us know what you use OneNote to help you remember!

Hat tip to the Office OneNote blog for sharing this tip with us!

Florida Realtors� Adopt Form Simplicity, Surpassing Usage Expectations

PR Newswire — September 2, 2010

Form Simplicity Becomes Sole Real Estate Transaction Tool to Florida Realtors

ORLANDO, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Real Estate Industry Solutions has announced that Form Simplicity, a real estate transaction management tool for Realtors and new member benefit to 115,000 Florida Realtors, has exceeded usage expectations since its launch on April 1, 2010. Additionally, on Aug. 29, 2010, the Florida Realtorsboard of directors voted that Form Simplicity will be the sole transaction management tool available as an association member benefit beginning in 2011. The board cited that it felt Form Simplicity is the best product for Florida Realtors members.

Since the launch of Form Simplicity on April 1, more than 35% of Florida Realtors members have used Form Simplicity and the growth in transactions has been increasing. Data shows that one in four new Florida listings and contracts are being created with Form Simplicity.

“Though the growth in Form Simplicity has exceeded our hopes, it does not come as a surprise considering the power of the product combined with ease of use and broad Realtor support from around the state of Florida,” stated Joe Ballarino, President of Real Estate Industry Solutions, developer of Form Simplicity.

Usage of the transaction management tool by Florida Realtors has experienced sizable transaction growth in July and August 2010, with August transaction usage more than quadrupling that of June usage.

Form Simplicity, a web-based real estate transaction management tool, delivers powerful features to Realtors that are easy to learn and easy to use at a competitive price. Developed by Real Estate Industry Solutions, a subsidiary of Florida Realtors, Form Simplicity’s product design philosophy was to listen to its customers to determine how the product will function as well as involve Realtorsthroughout the development process. With its unique auto-population features, pre-populated forms packages, synchronization features, suite of broker tools, and secure online, long-term storage, Form Simplicity allows Realtorsto do much more in less time.

August’s hottest real estate news is a post from: Lansner on Real Estate

by Randy Rieland.

Ready for your morning bowl of crazy? Five years ago, Congress set aside millions of acres of public land in the Southwest for the development of solar farms. This was primo real estate for solar, considered one of the best spots in the world. So far not one solar panel has been erected. 

Oh, you want us to build something? This discouraging news comes courtesy of the AP’s Jason Dearen, whose investigation shows that the understaffed U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused almost all its time on approving oil and gas projects and leased the land on a first-come, first-served basis, often to outfits with little or no experience in actually building solar farms. Case in point: Cogentrix Solar Services, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. Cogentrix had zero solar experience, but holds leases on nearly half the Nevada acreage for which applications have been filed. Another sickening stat: In the last five years, the BLM has approved more than 73,000 oil and gas leases on public land, but hasn’t given final approval to one solar lease. Not a one. Writes Dearen:

BLM’s solar leasing system ended up allowing developers to lay claim to prime sites—many located in the deserts that span California, Nevada, and Arizona. All developers had to do was fill out an application, pay a fee and file development plans. But many were so vague that it was difficult for BLM to separate the serious projects from the speculative ones.

The oilman cometh: Bad enough that Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (Alaska) primary loss to Joe Miller likely means another Republican climate change denier ranting in the Senate. Another negative ripple effect is that Murkowski’s place as ranking Republican on the powerful Senate Energy Committee probably will be taken by North Carolina’s Richard Burr. You may remember Burr. He was one of the senators singled out in a League of Conservation Voters video campaign this summer as particularly chummy with Big Oil. A fan of off-shore drilling, Burr has earned a dismal 7 percent voting score from the League. He also ranks eighth in the Senate in terms of receiving oil and gas money—almost $220,000 in this election cycle alone. For a good cry, look at his track record on climate and energy.

This party’s over: Not that it did a lot of good, but the short run of Democrats as the ruling party in Congress looks to be coming to an inglorious end. The latest Gallup Poll of registered voters shows Republicans with a 10 percentage point lead. That just happens to be the largest margin since Gallup started tracking mid-term elections. It gets worse: a USA Today/Gallup Poll released yesterday suggests that when it comes to handling the economy, the top issue for most Americans these days, 49 percent think Republicans would do a better job, compared to 38 percent for Democrats.

A big sucking sound: All of which means, as Grist’s Dave Roberts elegantly concludes, things are pretty much going to suck for the next few years, with Republicans staging a boatload of bogus hearings and silly fishing expeditions. Some Republicans are already looking forward to an attitude change on Capitol Hill by which, for instance, members will stop “demonizing” oil companies, to quote Texas Republican Kevin Brady:  

This White House and this Congress is demonizing them—the new drilling moratorium, the new energy taxes—all of that is costing us tens of thousands of jobs in the middle of what’s supposed to be a recovery, but it’s a very poor one.

Class dismissed: One thing you can say about Tea Partiers—they know what they want in a candidate. To help decide on endorsements, a Tea Party group near Sandusky, Ohio asked local candidates whether they agreed or disagreed with position statements on issues ranging from gay marriage to shutting down the Federal Reserve. Global warming also made the hit list. Here’s the survey’s climate change statement that candidates responded to:  

The regulation of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere should be left to God and not government and I oppose all measures of Cap and Trade as well as the teaching of global warming theory in our schools.

With friends like these: It’s one thing for Greenpeace to battle with a company drilling for oil in the Arctic. But Facebook? Isn’t the site just trying to get everyone on the planet to hold hands? Well, it turns out that the giant social network plans to build a huge data storage center in Oregon. Two-thirds of the power for that operation will come from coal. Not only has Greenpeace cried foul, but it says it has rallied 500,000 people to join Facebook groups that are insisting the data center use only renewable energy. 

Air transplants: How bad is the smog in Hong Kong? So bad that a green group is now selling fresh air. For just 25 cents, the Fresh Air Network will sell you a baby-blue canister that comes with a breathing mask and a hit of air. Plus, you have a choice of flavors, like vanilla or beach. 

And you don’t even get sand in your teeth.
