    I saw Zell give a talk at the University of Illinois Law School, where he described the implications of new legislation passed in 1996. Before '96, radio media stations could only own 12 channels, however they removed that barrier allowing unlimited channel ownership (eventually leading to highly concentrated media oligopolies). Zell's team went out and bought 152 radio stations, later selling them all to Clear Channel for just over $1.5 billion. Although he didn't practice law, the education he received in law school greatly enhanced his ability to understand it's dynamics in business.

      This is the meaning of karma. Things happen miraculously. Just like two refugees who come into a new country and both start to sell fruits and vegetables at the local marketplace. Both have zero seed capital. After ten years we check what happened. One became a millionaire and the other is hardly able to pay rent. So to become financially successful it is all about karma. You did well in your past life and now comes the reward. There's no coincidence.

    I lived in Chicago during the 90’s. One of the Zell stories I heard was regarding a partner/best friend of his. I was told Zell had a partner/best friend who he was very close to. The partner died and Sam committed to his deceased partners family that they would always own half the company or they would always be cared for for the rest of their lives. Has anyone heard the story? Is it true? The way it was told to me, Sam didn’t really have to pay a lot to buy them out but he committed to them to receive half the upside of the partnership profits and value. Pretty amazing if it’s true.

    I followed this deal in modest depth while it was happening. I was a loan broker at the time, and the lending that was going on was so far beyond stupid, I couldn't believe it. I saw loans being given to people where the loan payments were 85% of their income, never mind their utilities, food, gas for their car. I thought the RE bubble was topped out about a year before it popped, and I will always give Sam Zell credit for getting out at 11:59 at the very tippy top of the market. And let's be clear; he could not have done that if there was not a willing buyer. As he said at time, he was being offered so much for his company, he'd be stupid to turn it down.

      @@Finaius Well, OK, fair enough. But that is not the mentality of a skilled businessman, that's the mentality of a drunk at a bar at closing time. Here you had a REIT run by Zell, most skilled operator in the biz. It's stock price was what, $42? That price represented the yield (REITs are priced mostly on yield) under the control of the most skilled guy ever, as judged by the smartest guys in the market. OK, you wanna pay $44 for it, fine. And yes, there's a lot of multi-year work assembling the whole portfolio of properties By the time the bidding got up to the upper $50's, the expectation had to be that so many underperformers could be sold off that the jewels would still shine. But that's an awfully tall bet when you're paying up over 20% over market for ALL of it, even the doggies. And all this happened after a multi-year runup in comm RE with seemingly no top. Under normal conditions, 7% appreciation (the 20% premium being paid) is a solid 3 years of growth with no bumps in the road. The deal was an expression of "gotta have it, at any price". Auction fever. Not what you'd expect out of supposedly skilled operators itching to buy it. Sam said at the time he was being offered so much money, he could not turn it down. He knew damn well the offer was crazy high and he was smart to take it.

    I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

      I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

    For those interested Sam Zell commissioned a company (my moms cousin was one of the main designers and builders) to build these very neat automated 'Music Boxes', messages that were entirely custom made each year, a few thousand pieces were produced annually for about 2 decades, with a pre-recorded message from Sam, celebrating the turn of the new year, typically for his high end clients, etc.
    They sell for thousands of dollars ($5000-$20,000) if you can find one in good working condition they are very cool. I've seen 10-20 of them, all very cool to watch. Some have tons of moving parts and some are a bit simpler while still having motion, and a custom song for each, with a light show!
    I'll post videos of them sometime this year, he has the coolest ones of them all I believe.
