To hear Donald Trump tell it, “millions of people” are waiting for him to make an endorsement in the Republican presidential primary. And at some point, he says, he’ll likely grace a candidate with one — that is, unless he decides to run himself as an independent. The real estate mogul and reality TV star, who flirted with seeking the Republican presidential nomination but decided to sit out, says he has a “tremendous following of people who are tired of seeing this country get ripped off.” Read full article > >

BLACKSBURG — Police are trying to determine why a 22-year-old part-time Radford University student fatally shot a police officer on the campus of nearby Virginia Tech on Thursday afternoon, and then turned the gun on himself. The gunman, identified by police late Friday as Ross Truett Ashley, of Spotsylvania County, had no apparent connection to Tech Police Officer Deriek W. Crouse , 39, who was slain as he sat in his cruiser, police said. A day earlier, authorities said, Ashley is suspected of walking into a real estate office in Radford with a gun, demanding car keys and stealing a white Mercedes SUV. That car was found Thursday on Virginia Tech’s campus. Read full article > >

Washington area real estate developers are eager to again build office buildings speculatively — meaning without having leases signed with tenants — but many are waiting on banks to begin financing them again. Work has recently begun or is scheduled to begin in coming months on more than half a dozen speculative office projects in the area, a situation relatively particular to the region. Developers in most other major office markets are holding off as the commercial real estate industry creeps back from the recession. Read full article > >

After staying put during the economic recession, you might be tempted by stabilizing real estate prices and low mortgage interest rates to sell your house and buy your next place. What you might not realize is how long and complicated the process of buying and selling a home has become. New lending regulations, appraisal procedures and consumer expectations can throw up roadblocks for even the most seasoned flipper. Many homeowners who haven’t sold or bought a home in the past few years will find that many of the old “rules” have changed. Residential real estate experts suggest homeowners become aware of the new rules before listing their current property and searching for a new home. Read full article > >

Lines stretched nearly the full block of 2100 K Street NW Tuesday as Iron Chef-celebrity-restaurateur- ‘Entourage’ guest star Bobby Flay officially joined the D.C. dining scene with the launch of his much-anticipated burger joint, Bobby’s Burger Palace . Hundreds waited as long as an hour during the lunch rush to sample the goods. “My burger was fabulous,” said Clarke Aburn, a senior veep at Greenberg Gibbons real estate development firm, after finishing a “crunchified” Palace Classic Burger, a standard patty topped with traditional fixings and fresh potato chips. “He [Flay] took something people have been doing at cookouts all over the place — putting chips on burgers — and gave it a name.” Read full article > >
