http://www.reit.com In a video interview with REIT.com at REITWorld 2011: NAREIT’s Annual Convention For All Things REIT in Dallas at the Hilton Anatole hotel, CEO Trevor Bond said that W.P. Carey is invested in about 28 industries at any given time. He said any one of the company’s funds may have 20 or so different industry types represented within it.
“So naturally, as you get ups and downs in the economy, those risks will be buffeted by the spreading out of those risks,” Bond said.
W.P. Carey also views diversity as more complex than usual, according to Bond. He said the company likes to diversify by country, or region within a country, to get the full benefits of relative movements in different economies.
However, he said one of the primary benefits comes in the form of having long term leases. Bond said long term leases take the risk out of the short term swing of its investment.
“With any given dislocation, such as the one we’re currently in, if you have a five to seven year down cycle and we’re signing leases that are 15 to 20 years, we feel comfortable that if we’ve done our homework and evaluated that particular tenant and credit appropriately, as long as they can continue to pay rent we can deliver income to our investors,” he said.
Bond said that the best investment opportunity is in the triple B credits or below. He added that they may be very good companies that experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets at a particular time.
“So we can step in and provide them with credit at a time when they might not be able to get it. We’re seeing quite a lot of that; that’s been our sweet spot,” Bond said.
Bond has also noticed more good credits in secondary markets where there hasn’t been a lot of new construction.
“We are seeing some very good credits that either want to build a new campus or take over existing buildings, or use our funding to renovate it and then occupy that building,” he said.

http://www.reit.com Mark Zalatoris, president and chief executive officer of Inland Real Estate Corporation (NYSE: IRC), said the company’s occupancy levels have improved as new tenants have entered key markets in Chicago and Minneapolis.
Speaking with REIT.com during REITWorld 2011: NAREIT’s Annual Convention for All Things REIT in Dallas last month, Zalatoris said those new tenants include Ross Dress for Less, Gordmans and H.H. Gregg.
“We have been very fortunate in that we have been the beneficiary of their market expansions,” Zalatoris said. In addition, he said, “some of our tenants are doing some right-sizing and we have been able to offer them the right type and size of space and drawn them from competing centers.”
Inland has capital available to pursue strategic acquisitions, including funds from Dutch pension fund PGGM. Zalatoris said the two are targeting necessity-based shopping centers in the upper Midwest.
Looking to 2012, Zalatoris said what has him most optimistic is that there is capital available (particularly from inland’s partners including PGGM) and there are quality acquisitions to target.
“We are also working with some of our developers we have done business with in the past on off-market deals,” he said.
Zalatoris said he expects to see the company continue to have a robust pipeline of new acquisitions going into 2012. “The fact that the retailers feel very optimistic about the future and are continuing to express a desire to expand should continue in 2012 as well,” he said.
On the flip side, Zalatoris said macroeconomic issues continue to be a concern throughout the real estate industry and country as a whole.
“There is concern European contagion could possibly spread back to the United States. Consumer sentiment is what could impact our retailers in a negative way. And if it does turn negative there expansion plans may be scaled back and that would trickle down and affect us,” he said.

http://www.REIClub.com – HUD Homes Are A Great Resource For Finding Below Market Real Estate. Here’s A Quick Explanation On Investing in HUD Properties…
Hi, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com, the only site you need as a real estate investor. Today I’ve got a quick video on investing in HUD homes.
What are HUD homes? U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
A HUD home is a 1-to-4 unit residential property acquired by HUD as a result of a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes the property owner and offers it for sale to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim. HUD offers these properties for sale to both owner-occupants and investors
– HUD homes are usually appraised, then priced at fair market value.
– List Price usually accounts for needed repairs
– Usually sold “As-Is”
– Bidding process – highest net accepted
– Special purchase programs for teachers and law enforcement
Where can you find HUD Properties?
– Hud.gov – hud home store – daily listings and monthly auctions
– general public
– agents
– mortgage agencies
– non-profit organizations
– MLS – Search HUD properties
HUD Home Qualifications

– Cash buyers – majority

– Accepted – escrow – closing

– Renting – cash flow
There are thousands of highly affordable homes and apartments offered by HUD around the U.S. They create cheap opportunities for real estate investors to find real estate investments. The bidding process is rather simple, but competition can be fierce, so having a mentor with experience and connections can definitely make this process easier. When you start building relations with your bidding real estate agent and brokers, you will start to get insider info on properties before they even hit the auction floor. This is the end goal for most real estate investors seeking this strategy to find real estate.
