ABSORPTION: How to Forecast Future CRE Needs
Dive into the world of Commercial Real Estate (CRE) with the latest episode of "Commercially Speaking," featuring the insightful Bo Barron, CCIM, and the ever-entertaining Timmy Barron, ADHD. In this engaging episode, Bo, an acclaimed CCIM instructor and CRE expert, takes on the challenge of demystifying the concept of Absorption in CRE, a topic often perceived as simple yet frequently misunderstood.
Bo shares an amusing anecdote about how even his students in the CI102 course, who have never failed, struggle with Absorption questions. This sets the stage for a light-hearted yet informative exploration of the topic, where Bo humorously finds himself tangled in the simplicity of the Absorption formula. The episode shines when Bo skillfully clarifies the formula and its critical role in guiding developers in their decision-making processes.
Additionally, Bo delves into the four crucial feasibility tests used in every CRE deal: Political and Legal, Financial Feasibility, Location and Site, and Competitive and Market Analysis. These tests form the backbone of strategic CRE decision-making, and understanding how Absorption fits into this framework is invaluable for both seasoned professionals and newcomers.
