How Does the Subprime Mortgage Crisis Affect the Real Estate Industry? New York Law School's Center for Real Estate Studies Holds Forum with Panel o

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 20, 2008 -- The Center for Real Estate Studies at New York Law School will discuss the subprime mortgage crisis and its effects on the real estate sector at a breakfast forum titled "The Subprime Mortgage Crisis: Implications for the Real Estate Market," Wednesday, February 27 at 8:15 a.m. at the Law School, located on 47 Worth Street.

"Although there is hardly a day that passes without a major news story detailing some aspect of the subprime mortgage crisis, we are only just beginning to understand fully its wide ranging impacts," Professor Andrew Berman, Director of the Center for Real Estate Studies, said. "The subprime mortgage crisis has disrupted the origination and refinancing of both residential and commercial mortgages, the entire commercial mortgage-backed security and residential mortgage-backed security markets, rating agencies, insurance and reinsurance companies, and the general availability of credit. But, we now need a comprehensive discussion of how this growing crisis affects the real estate sector and the economy as a whole, and how lawyers and policy planners are responding to these many challenges."

The keynote speakers are Tom Arnold, Managing Director at Cerberus Real Estate Capital Management, LLC; John E. Silvia, Chief Economist at Wachovia; and Joshua Stein, Partner in the Real Estate Practice Group at Latham & Watkins LLP.

Tom Arnold, CFA is Managing Director at Cerberus Real Estate Capital Management, LLC, where he is responsible for identifying, analyzing, and negotiating potential equity and debt investments, as well as the management of selected Cerberus Capital Management equity and debt positions.

Submitting The College Application
At this point, except for the waiting, the worst is basically over! However, the way you submit the student's stuff is just about as important as the stuff that's being submitted!The correct order is: (1) The application is first (2) followed by the essays, which should be attached to the application unless there are specific instructions to the contrary; (3) Next is the resume, which should be stapled together, but not to the application or the essays; (4) The special essay(s) follow and should be paper clipped to the resume as opposed to being stapled to it. Attach a large paper clip to all of the above to ensure everything stays in the proper order, and then send the entire package overnight or 2nd day with a signature guarantee.
