Maryland Commercial Real Estate Investors

If you are either new to commercial real estate or just looking to get in to the game, first of all, welcome.

Secondly, you’re going to have to forget some of what you learned as a residential investor.

Do you remember how you first started looking for houses to buy? Did you start to notice the vacant houses that you weren’t seeing before? Sure the board-ups were easy. Then came the ones with tall grass and newspapers that were 3 weeks deep in the driveway. Then came the broken shutters or window. Then you felt you could just “tell” that a house was vacant, even if these blatant signs weren’t as readily apparent.

Here is a story we found quite interesting in the Baltimore Sun.

We think this is terrible. It is going to bring the office ratio in Baltimore City way up and it will mean a lot more vacant space in downtown.

What do you think? Let us know with the comments button below.

We are hoping to have this for an annual event, so entry turn out is needed.  Tell your friends, we are calling it the Golden Shovel Award.

It will be given to the investor / developer / group that is considered the most ground breaking for the year.  If you think you have the stuff to win, give it a shot and enter now.

To enter simply e-mail a minimum of 3 projects done within the last 12 months to 2007winner@mdcrei.com.  These projects should be those  that you would consider ground breaking.  Projects can be of any size or type.
