Commercial/multi-family loan originations way up.

I've got my 3rd commercial inspection in the past 4 weeks scheduled for Monday. All of them have been investors purchasing shopping centers that are around 3 years old and going into foreclosure. Nice work, good pay.

I am getting busier with the same, Linus. I've had 3 Dollar Generals in last month alone. All properties no more than five years old.

What kind of sf pricing are you getting in your area? Probably lower here at about 0.125/sf.

If I quote them for .020/ft I won't get it, I get beat out of the job. For my regulars that give me 1 or 2 jobs a month, I work out a deal.(close to your pricing) The buildings are newer and go pretty fast, 4-5 hours on site max for a 20k s.f. building.

No doubt - I have done over 25 commercial inspections in the past 2 months.
