CREW TV brings you closer to the industry's
most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
Leslie Quinsay, director of Coridian Capital, explains what you need to know to make the move from residential to commercial investing.
Video transcript below:
Leslie Quinsay, Director, Coridian Capital
Leslie Quinsay: Yes, well my past experience with residential real estate really comes from managing my family portfolio. We've got approximately 40 properties within our portfolio and most of the lessons I've learned in real estate investing came from the hands on experience I put into it. So it's really the tales from the trenches, my own personal story and experiences in managing and overseeing and acquiring these properties and analysing them.
I just moved from residential to commercial investing because it's like a game of monopoly where you start off buying a few houses here and there and you eventually move into larger projects. So you move from the houses to a hotel for example and the thing with it is, with many properties, I have got a portfolio now that spans 40 individual properties, you are managing many things day to day. You are running around, you are dealing with multiple tenants and multiple managers. When I moved to commercial, now I have been dealing with a smaller number of properties, things are a little bit easier and my cash flow is a lot better. So from an economies of scale perspective, I have reduced my time, but I have increased my revenues.
If I could give individuals two key pieces of advice in terms of moving from residential to commercial, it would be number one, build a strong team. Surround yourself with the people that you need to support you through this and number two, take the time to really understand the financing and how it's obtained, what the requirements are from your lenders. As far as building a team goes, it's very important to make sure that when you switch from residential to commercial, you are really focusing on individuals who are reputable and credible in the commercial field. You will need a strong realtor to negotiate on your behalf, you will need a strong lender who understands your financial situation and how the properties perform and you will need a variety of different professionals such as lawyers and accountants to make sure that you are structured correctly in terms of how you hold these properties.
In terms of getting financing for commercial properties, there are two key things you have to keep in mind. Number one, the lenders are going to give you a much lower loan to value, which means you need more cash and if you don't have that cash, you've got partner with someone who does. The second part of it is although the properties are performing and they've got their own track record on financials, the lender will often ask you for a personal guarantee. So again keep in mind, you need to have your finances in order if you are going to move forward to add commercial property to your portfolio.

This very kind email arrived yesterday from Mark A. of Valley View, Ohio:
I would like to personally congratulate you on hitting the million attendance mark for 2006. I took my family to your park for our first overall visit in June of this year. Coming from Cleveland, Ohio, it was well worth the drive! Since we have season passes to Cedar Point, we wanted to start to visit parks outside of Ohio. We were very impressed with how clean your park is and how each and every one of your employees made us feel at home.
The second day we visited your park was on a Saturday and I remembered your web site telling us that is was going to be a very busy day. It was, but I felt your staff did an excellent job of dispatching guests through queues and even though I could tell the park was crowded, we were still able to accomplish everything we wanted to do that day.
You have found fans for life as we will be back next year. We want to thank you very much for a lovely trip and I am thrilled that you reached this milestone. We wish your park the very best for 2007 and look forward to seeing you then.

Learning to Bake Allergen-Free by Colette Martin is a crash course in baking without gluten, dairy, eggs, soy or nuts. This book is a packed with tips and tricks for making delicious baked goods without allergens and without compromising taste and texture. What I love about this book is the educational piece- this isn't just a recipe book. You learn why eggs are important to recipes, then you learn how to substitute them and why you might choose one substitute over another in different applications. As anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions can attest, one substitution solution rarely works for all recipes. Martin teaches you about the different gluten free flours available and how to mix your own flour blends or choose a premade mix that will work for your needs.
No cookbook would be complete without mouth-watering recipes and gorgeous photography, however. Martin delivers on both fronts with recipes for a variety of baked goods from flat breads and yeast-risen breads to cookie and tarts. Mixed throughout each recipe section are additional crash courses in things that pertain to those particular recipes- different sweetening options, how to proof yeast, the simple way to decorate a cake, etc.
This book is a great resource for those who want to know more about allergen-free baking. It's not a simple cookbook, but more akin to a text book with wonderful explanations for why you should chose one ingredient over another and how to perfect (or simply fix) a certain type of dough.
The kind folks over at The Experiment Publishing sent us a copy of this book to giveaway to one lucky reader. To sweeten the deal, we're adding in some essential ingredients for getting started with this book. In addition to this lovely book, we're adding a package of our Gluten Free Quick Cooking Rolled Oats, a package of our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and a package of our Gluten Free Xanthan Gum. This would be a great thing to win if you like baking and make for a wonderful gift for someone just getting started.
To enter: Leave a comment here on the blog and tell me what your biggest challenge has been living with food allergies or diet restrictions (if you don't have a food allergy yourself, tell me about someone you know and a challenge you've faced with cooking for or eating with them). We'll pick a winner from all those who comment by 11:59 pm on 8/1/12.
Congratulations to Donna Barney!!
Mixed Berry Crumble
During the summer, fresh berries are plentiful in the Northeast; if you live near a pick-your-own farm, this is the time to stock up on berries. I freeze what I can't use in the summer for winter pies. It really doesn't matter which berries you choose to mix in this crumble—any combination of soft berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), or even a single berry, will do. Serve this with your favorite dairy-free ice cream.
The beauty of a crumble is that is can be served in a bowl—no need to worry about a pie crust breaking before it reaches the plate. It's just easy and suitable for kids of all ages.
{ Makes 8 to 12 servings }
- 5 cups Mixed Berries (see tip)
- 2 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ cup Corn Starch
- ¾ cup Light Brown Sugar
- ¾ cup Gluten-Free Quick-Cooking Oats
- 4 Tbsp (½ stick) Earth Balance Natural
- Shortening, cold
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking oil.
- In a large bowl, mix together the fruit and lime juice, by hand.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and corn starch. Sprinkle it over the fruit mixture and toss to coat the fruit. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and oats. Break up any lumps of brown sugar.
- Cut the shortening into tablespoon-sized pieces. Use a pastry cutter or pastry fork to cut the shortening into the oat mixture.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the fruit. Use the flat side of a spoon to lightly pack the topping.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- If you are using strawberries, be sure to remove the stems and chop them (in half or thirds) so they are about the same size as the rest of your berries.
- If fresh berries are not available you may use frozen (unsweetened) berries. Thaw and drain them before using.
- This is best warm. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat for 30 seconds in a microwave.
