Solar Shingles

La promesa de un techo que genera energia electrica se esta acercando con Dow Chemical al anunciar que empezara a producir shingles solares (Shingles es un tipo de techos que consiste en paneles de tela asfaltica) La compania construira una nueva planta en Michigan y empezara a funcionar empleando a mas de 1,000 personas.
Los shingles, muy parecidos a los normales seran grapados en lugar similarmente a los shingles normales.
Existe la preocupacion de como estos shingles se comportarian con los efectos del tiempo.
Un estudio realizado en la universidad de MIT concluyo que estos shingles solares serian mas costosos que los paneles solares tradicionales.

New business start ups

Entrepreneurship and new small businesses are supposed to lead us out of the recession, just as they have in prior downturns, right?
The next person to have a good idea is headed to the bank with a business plan to ask for a loan in order to launch her business in 4 weeks right?
If only be that simple but the reality is different, with the rate of unemployment hitting double digits and the record of bankruptcy filings reaching all time records, banks are not really too motivated to lend for new start ups.
Problems from the devastated housing market, overall recession and suffering major industries all funnel down to small businesses, especially those that supply the troubled corporations.
The construction industry is the worst affected by the collapse of the real state market. Time to regroup and rethink the strategy.
On the other hand banks are backing from allowing larger lines of credits since the risk of default is bigger now that business are on a downturn.

So those business that haven't yet file for federal protection called chapter 7 are hanging from a tread and there are many of them out there.

"The failure of a small business doesn't have to be a lifetime sentence for the owner," says U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Lewis Killian, in Tallahassee. "Bankruptcy gives them the ability to go forward, to start up again and be successful."

Construction Miami 201 - Eduardo Soto ATEM Construction

El crecimiento en la industria de la construccion esta muy relacionada al estado general de nuestra economia local en Miami Florida.
Especificamente en el mercado de equity de lo cual depende el consumidor para obtener la liquidez necesaria para invertir en mejoras en la propiedad asi como tambien en otras areas del consumo.
La economia americana es una economia consumista lo que genera la circulacion de la moneda y mantiene la economia en marcha.
El mercado de bienes raices debe estabilizarse de una manera u otra ya sea permitir que las propiedades pasen al control de los bancos los cuales deben traer la propiedad a un estado habitable y operable y se pueda vender al inversionista.
El inversionista requiere de nuestro servicio para llevar la propiedad a un estado habitable ya sea para la renta o venta.
El resultado de este sin numero de transacciones de transicion de comprador a rentador es lo que se piensa como un estabilizador de el mercado de inmuebles.
En otras palabras cuando la reserva federal decidio bajar el interes a 1% logro su objetivo de atraer compradores de inmuebles pero no estimo que al proveerle con hipotecas ajustables era cuestion de tiempo para que estos hipotecados fallaran en pagar y perdieran la propiedad inundando el mercado con propiedades reposeidas.
