This is a short intro to a true story about a vacant and vandalized retail property in San Leandro. The City slapped a $92,474 fine and lien.  How did The Ivy Group turn it into a $3.36M closed deal, with 1031 Exchange? And got rid of the entire lien?

Here is the distilled version of how strategy, analysis and decisive action changed the ending.

Inside this breakdown: • Why leasing made less financial sense than selling, despite a proposed Starbucks lease • How a multi-owner group came to a consensus • Eight offers, one standout: buyer with 1031 exchange funds and a deadline-driven profile • How we protected price during negotiations with a 1031 exchange buyer • The last-minute city lien that blocked the transfer and how it was removed • What transformed a distressed, 100 percent vacant building into a marketable asset

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
