Fiegel launches Blackbird Asset Services

Auction and appraisal industry veteran, David Fiegel, has launched Blackbird Asset Services. Recognizing the need for more personal and flexible service in the auction and appraisal industry, Blackbird was founded to combine the attention of a boutique firm with the results of a large company. With over two decades of experience, the Blackbird team has the resources, knowledge, and relationships to compete at the highest level in the industry while maintaining the flexibility to deliver at the local level. Blackbird knows it's the attention to detail that really matters. It matters if a client needs to sell within 30 days or if they need to hold out for the highest financial return. It matters if the union is hostile or if the auction descriptions give right-fit buyers enough information to bid with confidence. It matters to our clients that they are kept in the information loop from beginning to end. The details matter. For auction sales Blackbird takes the time to understand what the seller defines as success, and then uses an adaptive approach to customize solutions to get there. All valuations are conducted by a certified appraiser in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). For more information, visit www.blackbirdauctions.com.

Tri-state capital migrates nationally amid regulation pressure - by Reese Weaver

New York tri-state multifamily investors are increasingly reallocating capital to less-regulated markets across the U.S. as rent control and legislative risk erode returns at home. With over 60% of New York City’s rental housing stock classified as rent-stabilized, the traditional value-add model — buying under-performing buildings,

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
