Just Like Steve Jobs

We've all read about Steve Jobs (and Bill Gates), starting companies in garages.  It's a classic way to start as an entrepreneur.  In this economy, there are lots of entrepreneurs, some because they've lost their jobs, some because there are always good, new ideas out there.  And, at some point, they outgrow the garage and look for space.

That may be why the type of space most in demand now is small industrial or flex space.  It appeals to entrepreneurs--it's affordable, easy to use in a variety of ways, and readily available.  So, if you own that kind of space, think about leasing it to the next Steve Jobs.  You could become famous!

A Challenge

We're having a little contest here at Pearce Commercial.  We just had an investment property close in 58 days from listing to transfer of title.  Since so  many commercial transactions are affected by tax considerations, and since many companies and individuals have calendar year tax periods, we know that there will be some among you who are going to want to complete a transaction before the end of 2011.  So, here's the challenge:  Can someone out there beat the 58-day record?  It may be that the clock has already started, because the property to be transferred may already have been listed.

There are 39 days, counting today (because there's plenty of time to act today!), left in 2011.  So use them wisely, and help us beat the current record holder.  Buy today-close in December!
