It’s not just foreclosed homes that are looking like a bargain to real estate investors in today’s market, but also distressed commercial assets. Most of these REO commercial properties fall under the multi-family construction sector, but there are also abandoned retail and restaurant spaces, not to mention hotel construction projects that have stalled and are now ripe for the picking.

Even in the innovative and rapidly changing world of green building, some of the old ways and traditional materials are often the best. For thousands of years, natural clay and lime plasters have been used to create beautiful and long-lasting interior and exterior finishes. While these materials continue to be used extensively throughout the world, they have been largely replaced in North America by cement and acrylic stuccos.

Over the past holiday season, I was at a Christmas party discussing with a friend of mine who runs an electrical supply company here in South Louisiana, the intricacies of notice provisions before a company like his can file a lien on a private project.

This conversation got me thinking that I should report to the supply world what my friend did not understand… Here at the Wolfe Law Group we love liens.
