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.

Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Companies, announced his company is committing to purchase and manage through Blue Companies and Blue Asset Management LLC, of which he is managing partner, holdings in excess of $2 million in the city of Paterson in 2011.
According to Blumenkehl, “As the economic recovery continues to manifest itself in increased manufacturing needs, Paterson makes for an attractive pool of available labor force who can fill much needed jobs, which need to be met with an ample supply of good housing in stable neighborhoods. We hope to support that effort as we continue to apply our effective management systems to our properties in Paterson.”
Blumenkehl, originally raised in Paterson, believes that his knowledge of the area is very helpful in his company’s ability to analyze which neighborhoods present which challenges and where his funds would be best to employ their resources.

Charles Blumenkehl of Blue Asset Management LLC Sees Demand for Residential Rentals Increasing
While sales and rental markets have softened these last two years according to the National Association of Realtors, Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC and CEO of Blumenkehl Properties, managers of investment properties throughout New Jersey, says his company is seeing more demand for residential rental properties and believes this trend will dramatically increase in the next few years.
Blumenkehl points to statistics released by the National Association of Home Builders at the International Builders Show, which had only 114,000 multi-family homes started in 2010, which the Association states is less than the number of multi family homes removed from the market during the same period. NAHB further stated that while they anticipate another 133,000 multi family units will be started in 2011, they too predict that number will be far less than the expected demand.
According to Blumenkehl, “With a large part of the population reaching rental age, combined with the number of home share and live at home arrangements already in place due to the economic contraction of the last few years, the demand for rental housing is becoming greater as the country moves toward economic recovery.” Blumenkehl, whose properties have a 96% occupancy rate in New Jersey at current, continued, “Rents have already began climbing in some of our markets, and a shortage of new multifamily units coupled with a rise in prime renter-age households will give landlords clout they haven’t seen since we emerged from the last housing recession in the mid-1990s.”
Blumenkehl Properties and Blue Asset Management LLC are managers and buyers of performing and non-performing mortgages and distressed and investment properties in New Jersey.
