What Investors and Policymakers should do in today’s Market

Victor Bruno is one of the best-known and most respected commercial real estate brokers in Albuquerque and the entire state of New Mexico. He has been involved in commercial real estate in Albuquerque since 1973. Bruno will be discussing the local real estate marketplace and how national and global events are impacting the industry. Bruno, a member of the Rio Grande Foundation’s board of directors, will especially emphasize the public policy decisions that have led us to the current situation.

Bruno’s presentation, “Don’t worry, be wary,” will help the general public and the practitioner alike learn the answers to the following questions.

• Who Are the Players? .... A description of who the many players in real estate are and what roles they play. (this will include government and politicians as players);

• What Happened? .... A reflection on the bubble years and how we got there;

• Where Are We Now? .... An update on present conditions (to include not only economic stats on real estate but a brief run down on local government overreach – issues like impact fees, smart growth, downtown revitalization, west side mess, Mesa del Sol and Suncal);

• Where Are We Headed? .... Nearly everyone says commercial real estate is about to tank and if so, why?

• What should we do next?

Cost is $10 per attendee. Space is limited, so purchase seat online here. If space is available, walk-up sales will be available the day of the event.

I would be particularly interest in Mr. Bruno's views on how federal policies relating to economic and business development -- to the extent that it is reflected in business start-up and expansion -- bears on overall trends on local real estate related issues -- including commercial lending. I would also be interested in Mr. Bruno's views on alternative federal policies -- such as providing loan guarantees rather than capital infusions into lendors -- would effect the local real estate market.
