This Friday is Nov. 11, 2011 (aka 11/11/11). Or, to put it another way, it’s Nigel Tufnel Day.
Enthusiasts of loud (if not necessarily critically acclaimed) music know all about Tufnel. He’s the fictional rocker from the semi-fictional band Spinal Tap who loves to turn his amps up to 11 when he needs that “extra push over the cliff.” What better time to celebrate and salute the man and his technique than on 11/11/11?
We first learned of the unofficial holiday through Facebook, where folks are preparing to honor the great guitarist. One fan writes, “Friday, in Honor if Nigel Tufnel Day and Veterans Day, I will be turning it up to 11 and rocking the Star-Spangled banner.” Web searches on the holiday are on the rise, jumping 20% over the past 24 hours.
BACKGROUND: When I was an 18-year old college Sophomore I bought and renovated a boarded up apartment building in Buffalo, NY that was slated for demolition. I have been self-employed in the commercial real estate industry ever since.
EXPERIENCE: I've lived in the Tampa Bay, Florida area since 1991 and have been fortunate to be involved in over a billion dollars of commercial real estate transactions in various roles including: asset manager, leasing agent, real estate broker, acquisition advisor, mortgage broker, investor, developer and private lender.
GOAL: Create strategic alliances with "deal junkies" that invest in opportunistic / distressed assets and need constant access to deal flow and debt / equity capital. My ideal client has an existing portfolio valued in excess of $10 million.
MY NETWORK: Looking to expand my network of commercial real estate professionals including but not limited to investors, owners, builders, developers, land owners, brokers, attorneys, title agents, receivers, property managers, asset managers, due diligence consultants, engineers, architects, contractors, private lenders, agency lenders, banks, insurance companies, credit unions, hedge funds, private equity groups and private / hard money investors.
