With mortgage restrictions and economic uncertainties making home purchasing difficult for many in the current real estate market, an old real estate marketing strategy is finding its way back to popularity amongst potential sellers and buyers who wish to enter the real estate market but aren’t in a position to close quickly.
According to Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management, the lease to buy scenario has become an acceptable alternative for some of today’s market participants. Blumenkehl said “With prices as attractive as they are, potential buyers are seeking to lock into a purchase without having to fully commit to closing. At the same time, sellers who find they are carrying the costs of properties they no longer wish to own are finding this alternative attractive by allowing the mortgage and most expenses to be covered by their prospective buyer as they await the point in the market that the buyer can potentially close on the property.” Blumenkehl explained “By leasing to buy, typically a buyer will put up a small non-refundable deposit which will be applied against their ultimate purchase price, and then are given the opportunity to accumulate enough of a down payment over the course of their occupancy by paying slightly above current market rents and having the overage added to their down payment.” In so doing, Blumenkehl says that buyers can meet the larger down payment requirements imposed by lenders, and if they don’t want to buy at the end of an agreed upon period of time, they can simply walk away without being saddled with a mortgage on property they decide not to own.
Simultaneously, sellers will either have their houses sold at the end of the occupancy period, or at least will not have to carry the expenses of a vacant mortgaged home while they wait for the housing market to recover. “The result,” Blumenkehl said, “is a win-win for both parties, one by locking into an attractive price and reasonable terms which could enable them to become homeowners when they would otherwise end up leasing without the ability to accumulate equity or take advantage of low housing process in today's market, while sellers are relieved of the pressure of carrying vacant property in these difficult economic times.”
Blumenkehl points out that even if the market recovers and the sellers can get more money for their homes in a year or two, the amount they would have to spend on payments for a vacant home would be more than the potential increase in sales price in many cases. Blumenkehl said that his fund has considered lease to buy on certain properties they currently own, and are seeing more of these type transactions now than they have in prior years.

Blue Asset Management Sees Home Prices Stabilizing in New Jersey
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management LLC, says home prices in New Jersey have been stabilizing and are even experiencing gains in certain markets.
According to Blumenkehl, “Home sales have been recovering since the fourth quarter of 2010, and the trend is continuing into 2011. Available inventory is being absorbed, distressed properties in many suburban markets are starting to slow down, and with a decrease in housing inventory the real estate market is headed toward recovery.” Blumenkehl continued, “As the employment situation improves, housing will improve. It is now just a matter of time until markets normalize. With interest rates as low as they are, and prices as attractive as they are, it is hard to imagine a better home buying opportunity than the present”.
Blumenkehl points to a recently released survey by the National Association of Realtors which showed the median priced home increasing from $170,300 to $170,600 from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the same period in 2010. The same survey noted that home prices have increased in over half of the 152 Metropolitan Statistics Areas tracked by the study in the fourth quarter of 2010. Blumenkehl added, “As a major metropolitan market serving the New York and local employment hubs, New Jersey is poised for a market rebound in 2011 which will have far reaching effects into the local economies. Increases in consumer spending and employment resultant from these increases will serve as a springboard for further economic recovery in the area as the year unfolds.”
Blue Asset Management was founded by Charles Blumenkehl in 2008 to leverage the real estate investment opportunities which were made available through the mortgages and real estate meltdown in the area over the past few years.

Funds concerned with a lack of local knowledge wouldn’t buy notes that companies like ourselves, who know and specialize in our local northern New Jersey urban and suburban markets, have allowed our fund to purchase properties that were in areas that wouldn’t require higher maintenance or management intensity other properties might.” Blumenkehl continued, “As a result, we have seen yields on some of our investment properties above 30%, and are please to be able to achieve a high level of results for our investors.”

Blumenkehl Credits Obama Administration With Having the Commitment to lead America to Recovery
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC, believes the current administration is fully committed to the economic recovery of our country and has taken the initiative to put into effect initiatives which will help employment and provide an infusion into the real estate market that will yield returns and low cost to the taxpayer.
According to Blumenkehl, “President Obama has provided the leadership to focus on those areas of our economy that will have the most impact on the impetus and direction of the recovery. That includes the housing recovery, where the administration has focused efforts that have allowed the real estate market to settle without artificial aides and now begin its sustained upward cycle 5 of the past 6 months which will continue through 2011.”. Blumenkehl continued, “Throughout my career I have seen both the thick and the thin of the market, and have always understood one underlying notion, that in the short run anything can happen, but in the long run, and indications are we are headed in that direction, real estate will only move in one direction. As Malcolm Forbes said, God stopped making dirt a long time ago, but hasn’t stopped making people. Eventually, that supply will dry up and the values will continue to increase.”

Blue Asset Management Sells Bergenfield Property
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC, announced his fund has sold a multi family property it owned in Bergenfield, New Jersey.
According to Blumenkehl, “We are pleased to have been able to take title to the property and within just a few weeks, through applying our value enhancement model, were able to sell the property at a substantial return to our investors while still providing the buyers with an outstanding value for competing property in the Bergenfield real estate market." Blumenkehl also credits Realtor Cheryl Napolitano of Coldwell Banker of Bergenfield New Jersey with helping to facilitate the sale. “Cheryl was very helpful in the expeditious processing of this transaction. Her local knowledge enabled us to sell the property at a price point that lent itself to our model in a short period of time." Blumenkehls’ fund has been active in purchasing multi-unit investment properties in primarily northern New Jersey. According to Blumenkehl, the Bergenfield sale is consistent with the funds desire to manage high yield multi family properties that are sizeable enough to lend themselves to the costs of efficient property management while maintaining a high return on properties which it purchases and resells in the short term.

Spike in Mortgage Rates May Slow Down Housing Recovery
According to Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management, the recent spike in interest rates could dampen the housing recovery
Soon after President Obama made a deal with Republicans to extend the Bush-era economic recovery initiatives, interest rates spiked to their highest levels since June and debt prices sharply fell. According to Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Companies and managing partner at Blue Asset Management LLC, “The sudden rise in interest rates to the consumer are disconcerting, Typically, a rise in rate in a normalized market could increase an urgency for buyers to get into the market before rates have a meaningful impact on their buying power.. But in the current market, real estate sales are not responding well to the incentives that are not being offered. With unemployment hovering close to 10% in most of the county, it is likely higher interest rates will dampen any meaningful real estate recovery in the first quarter of 2011”.
Blumenkehl did note that the decrease in demand has varied throughout the country, and pointed to reports that actually noted increases in certain markets including an increase in value of 3% in the New York area for 2009, as an indicator that while it may take longer, ultimately the real estate market will recover.
Blumenkehl added. “God stopped making dirt a long time ago, but hasn’t stopped making people, In the short term, anything can happen, but history has shown that in the long term, real estate will only become more scarce and as a result more valuable.”

Blumenkehl Supports National Association of Realtors "Home Ownership Matters" Campaign
Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Properties and managing partner at Blue Asset Management LLC, is supporting the "Home Ownership Matters" campaign currently being initiated by the National Association of Realtors.
According to Rismedia, a real estate industry news source, owner-occupied home ownership accounts for 67% of all homes built in the United States, and 15% of the countries Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results from purchases made as a result of buying a home. "Over $60,000 is pumped back into the economy", according to the 1/14/11 Rismedia article, "including furniture, improvements and related items once a home is purchased".
According to Charles Blumenkehl, "Home ownership is a vital part of our economy and provides jobs and stability to the regions. So often, in my Real Estate career, I encountered retirees who were able to retire comfortably solely because of the investment their home, paid off over their years of living there, represented in their financial plan. As Real Estate goes, so goes the country." Blumenkehl continued, "I would strongly advocate a little incentive similar to the one ended in June by the Obama administration. The initiative then helped the economy regain some footing and create more jobs, and the tax monies that flow from the home purchase will more than pay for the same results if the government reinstates even a watered down version of the home buying incentive."

Blue Asset Management Sees Increase in Sales Activity and Predicts Strong Spring Market
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management LLC, said his company is seeing more buyers interested in properties so far in 2011. He said his company has received more offers this January and put more properties into contract with buyers during the month than in the prior two months combined.
According to Blumenkehl, "I am particularly surprised that in spite of the hard winter we have been experiencing in New Jersey this month, with all the snow we have gotten, that buyers are actively looking and activity has picked up so much more than the last few months". Blumenkehl continued, "with home prices as low as they are, and interest rates still historically very very low, buyers seem to be focused on getting a good deal and a low interest rate mortgage while they still can. The recent increase in interest rates has still left the mortgage rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage below 5%, and has instilled a sense of urgency for many buyers that they get into their home now, and not risk paying more as prices and rates settle in and the real estate recovery in New Jersey becomes more apparent".
Blumenkehl said his fund has over a dozen properties currently for sale in New Jersey, and has signed contracts or is negotiating offers on about half of their available inventory from the first of the year. He anticipates a stronger spring selling market as the weather gets better and more home buyers come into the market.

Blue Asset Management LLC Lists Buildings for Sale in Hudson County, NJ
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC, announced his company has listed for sale multi-family properties located in Hudson County, New Jersey. According to Blumenkehl, "Our Boyd Avenue and Rutgers Avenue properties are great investments for someone looking to create equity and cash flow. Because the properties are a fourplex and two family respectively, they are smaller than what we would like to keep in our management portfolio for the area, and so the decision was made to list the properties for sale." Blumenkehl said the Boyd Ave. property was completely upgraded, with permits completed for a new roof and upgraded seperate electrical systems, and also has all new flooring, appliances and many other features throughout.
The Rutgers Avenue property is a two family home with off street parking which according to Blumenkehl was also updated and has many new features. Blumenkehl said, "While we view the Hudson county corridor as an area with great investment potential due to its proximity to New York, its affordability relative to the surrounding markets and the addition of the local transit lines, we recognize our need to focus on larger properties for our portfolio and allow smaller operators the opportunity to maintain these solid investments."
Both properties are listed with Rosario Romero of Live Realty in North Bergen, New Jersey, exclusive broker for Blue Asset Management LLC in the Hudson County area. For more information about these properties, contact Ms. Romero at 201 869-8250.

Support National Association of Realtors "Home Ownership Matters" Campaign
Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Properties and managing partner at Blue Asset Management LLC, is supporting the "Home Ownership Matters" campaign currently being initiated by the National Association of Realtors.
According to Rismedia, a real estate industry news source, owner-occupied home ownership accounts for 67% of all homes built in the United States, and 15% of the countries Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results from purchases made as a result of buying a home. "Over $60,000 is pumped back into the economy", according to the 1/14/11 Rismedia article, "including furniture, improvements and related items once a home is purchased".
According to Charles Blumenkehl, "Home ownership is a vital part of our economy and provides jobs and stability to the regions. So often, in my Real Estate career, I encountered retirees who were able to retire comfortably solely because of the investment their home, paid off over their years of living there, represented in their financial plan. As Real Estate goes, so goes the country." Blumenkehl continued, "I would strongly advocate a little incentive similar to the one ended in June by the Obama administration. The initiative then helped the economy regain some footing and create more jobs, and the tax monies that flow from the home purchase will more than pay for the same results if the government reinstates even a watered down version of the home buying incentive."

Are delinquent borrowers slowing foreclosure process?
According to Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management, "A percentage of long-delinquent borrowers are taking advantage of every opportunity they can to extend the mortgage foreclosure process while staying in their houses without having to pay their mortgage, taxes and insurance while allowing the properties to deteriorate rather than provide needed maintenance as required."
Blumnkehl continued, “We’re not talking about the homeowner who has no assets, or are unemployed. We are seeing borrowers who are trying to hide their assets, some of which are substantial, file multiple bankruptcies and frivolous motions with the courts, all of which are designed to stall the process so they can continue to save and hide their money at their lenders expense.” “The net result,” according to Blumenkehl, “is that the lenders have to spend more money carrying these bad loans and impacting the overall economic recovery by maintaining high leverages on the books of the lenders while lowering the value and increasing the carry of their assets.”
Blumenkehl is convinced that with the already overwhelming burden on the court systems to assist the lenders in rightfully regaining their properties, this adds to the courts agenda, costing taxpayers more money while extending the ability of the country to recover from the economic meltdown and high unemployment rates. “Until these ‘deadbeats’ are removed from the property, or the courts somehow find a way for these underhanded strategies to be engaged, more people will go longer without jobs, and the country as a whole will pay the price.”
Blue Asset Management was founded by Charles Blumenkehl in 2008 to leverage opportunities resultant from the mortgage crisis and to assist their borrowers and lenders in monetizing their assets and being given the opportunity to start again.

Blue Asset Management LLC Releases Its 2011 Property Management Investment Report
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management, announced his fund has released its 2011 Property Management Investment Report highlighting strategies and programs the fund plans on in 2011.
According to Charles Blumenkehl, attention to property stability, value enhancement and protection, and the acquisition of new assets are among main highlights of their report.
“To minimize risk and maximize return, we are focused on running tightly monitored property management systems lending themselves to responsible asset management and acquisition, while understanding and controlling the investments that we will make in our properties in the upcoming year,” Blumenkehl said. “We must be ready for bumps in the management process, while focusing our efforts on lowering management costs, increasing collectibles and containing property operational costs,” Blumenkehl continued.
Among those areas singled out by Blumenkehl as part of their overall strategy of increasing existing yields on managed real estate are
- Savings in energy costs by taking advantage of the deregulation opportunities recently created in New Jersey
- Lowering insurance premiums by shopping insurance carriers and coverages while maintaining value coverage in line with the current market trends
- Renegotiating interest costs on mortgages wherever possible, and opening dialogue with mortgage holders and new lenders desiring to do business with the company because of its strong financial track record of loan repayment
- Reduction of property taxes through engaging a more aggressive and rigorous tax appeal process in many of the municipalities the company owns real estate in
- Lower water usage through the installation of low-water consumption devices in many of their buildings.
Blumenkehl has been managing real estate for over 30 years, and describes the upcoming year as one of opportunity and long term increased returns through proper planning.

Blue Asset Management Restructures Mortgage in Sussex County
Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Companies and managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC, announced restructuring a moertgage for property owned in Sussex County New Jersey. The property was purchased in 2005 at which time they originated a 6.5% mortgage. Blumenkehl says they closed the new mortgage reducing the rate to 3 7/8%.
According to Blumenkehl, “Obviously we are thrilled at the ability to refinance the mortgage and substantially increase our returns on our property. As a valued Wells Fargo and Wachovia Bank customer for many years, we were able to leverage our excellent financial loan track record and payment history and take advantage of the available historic low rates of today’s mortgage marketplace despite the increase in restraints imposed by banks, including Wells, resultant of the residential mortgage meltdown in the past few years. We are continuing to maintain dialogues with our lenders throughout New Jersey and are seeking to restructure several more properties as well while giving our lenders the certainty and confidence of being paid back on their investment timely while maintaining meaningful collateral ratios to the benefit of their stockholders.”
Blumenkehl continued, “As the economic recovery continues to manifest itself in increased buying opportunities for our company, the ability to restructure our loans supports our equity investments we are currently making in New Jersey. We look forward to making the right equity investments in the New Jersey property acquisitions we are buying now that are undervalued and provide the opportunity to increase in value through our value enhancement procedures, systems and renovations while supporting our efforts through working with our banks on restructuring financing on our current property portfolio.”

Blue Asset Management LLC Markets Gloucester and Cumberland Properties in New Jersey
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management LLC, has announced his fund is divesting its Gloucester and Cumberland county properties.
According to Blumenkehl, "While we recognize Gloucester and Cumberland counties and the south Jersey corridor as a land of much opportunity for distressed and undervalued real estate, the properties we currently own in these areas don't match our current profile and ability to provide the type of execution of our property needs as we planned out.

elsewhere."
