How bad will the commercial real estate crisis be that starts next year?

Category: Politics — samiam @ 8:36 pm
Sean asked:

A trillion dollar commercial real estate crisis will begin to unfold in 2010, when short term loans must be refinanced, yet commercial property values have plummeted.

As many as 500 regional banks may fail as commercial loans default, and the FDIC only has 10 billion left to cover insolvent banks. Compounding this Deuthsche Bank forecasts that 48% of home mortgages will owe more than the home is worth by the end of 2011.

Why is it that a Real Estate Mogul never becomes the richest man on Earth?

Category: Investing — samiam @ 6:23 am
GuRu asked:

Real Estate is always one of the MOST profitable business in town. During recessions real estate is doing bad, however otherwise, if you know how to do it, then it is very profitable. So why don’t we ever see a real estate mogul become the RICHEST man on Earth? We see many real estate billionaires, like Donald Trump, Donald Bren, Samuel Zell etc. but yet none of them become the richest man in the world… What stops them from becoming extremely rich like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, or Carlos Slim Helu?
