Kubler, CCIM Sun, 28 Sep 2008 13:22:49 +0000 http://www.netgainrealestate.com/?p=679#comment-216 I don't know if a simple economic downturn, a normal part of the economic cycle, is a reason to abandon, for instance, the acquisition of retail property. I do think that prudent due diligence is critical, and that there is a tremendous amount of distress among retailers -- distress that will only grow exponentially after what is likely to be a very tepid holiday shopping season. It is a time to be patient and to buy investment property prudently and with an eye to value creation opportunities.

With regard to the store closings, it would be enormously more meaningful to know not just the number of planned closings, but what percentage of total stores the closings represent. But perhaps your source Affair’s Brief" did not contain that information. Good news for i-net retailers, not so good for the rest.
