Over the years I've worked on hundreds of projects, from small damage projects in mobile homes to multi-story commercial properties.I thought it might be good to start a thread where people can come with questions about what to do, or what to expect when dealing with different types of damage.Let's start with something very basic and important: Does your property management know what to do in case of emergency?

Banks, and mainly European banks, have large exposure to emerging market debt of all types through both sovereign, corporate and individual loans.

Is it for the enjoyment, to help someone else or is it a ALL OUT EMERGENCY that you find some CASH QUICKLY.See if it is for any other reason that TRULY helping others then we are all in trouble.

& to tell you the truth I was wondering what kind of a response I would get from that post.Hence I spent some time considering what I said over the holiday.In my personal opinion in this day & age with so much of our economy based on emerging technologies & securities.

The recently enacted Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 accelerated the effective date to October 1, 2008.

My niche is the emerging areas, and I work primarily with deals that are land and commercial real estate, however I do some residential as well.

My 'side-guy' came out within an hour and fixed it for half what his company would've charged on a weekday (and you can guess what they would've charged for an 'emergency' weekend call!).

The little guys go first, They should be emerging at the same time the banks and big corp take the plunge.......

Ok, for those who may have been under a rock today and didn't hear about the amazing emergency landing into the Hudson river, everyone survived.

I've heard that sitting in on city planning meetings (or just keeping up with the info provided from them) is a good way to get a jump on emerging local markets.
