President Obama’s Jobs Initiative a Small Step in the Right Direction, Says Mercantile Capital Corporation President Chris Hurn
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. --- Christopher Hurn, president of Mercantile Capital Corporation, the region’s most active provider of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities, appeared on Fox Business News recently to comment on President Obama’s efforts to stimulate job growth in the U.S.
“Some of the things being discussed -- like tax credits for new hires and a payroll tax holiday for employers -- are a good step in the right direction,” Hurn explained, “but I’m not entirely convinced that the Obama Administration has figured out how to truly stimulate our economy and actually create jobs.”
Economic stimulation starts with taxation, Hurn asserted. “You have to put money in people's pockets and then trust the American consumers and businesses to do what is best with it,” he said.
“You can't stimulate job growth without stimulating spending,” he said. “The tax credits that have been proposed are marginally beneficial, but tax credits for new hires were included as part of the original recovery bill. It’s easy to see that they haven’t had the impact we all hoped,” he said.
Hurn unveiled his own four-point plan to jump-start the national economy:
1. Implement a meaningful payroll tax holiday for both employers AND employees (Jan. 1 to July 1, or better yet, all of 2010);
2. Permanently abolish the capital gains tax on any investments made in eligible small businesses (fewer than $100 million or under 500 employees) during 2010;
3. Repeal or drastically modify Sarbanes-Oxley, as it has hampered business growth and hasn't done nearly as much good as was intended;
4. Get health reform right---the plans in circulation are still missing two very important things: tort reform and the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines.

Rental Lifestyles Division at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Focused on more former homeowners impacted by distressed sales
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty’s Rental Lifestyles division serves a growing segment of the housing market – the thousands of homeowners in the Central Florida region who have been forced into a rental status.
“The wave of distressed housing properties has yet to peak,” said Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty. “In October, 65 percent of all homes sold in the Central Florida region were classified as distressed, which indicates short sales or foreclosure sales,” he said. “Most of those sellers need to become renters and we are focused on assisting them.”
Soderstrom said the Rental Lifestyles division has been working with families to find suitable and sustainable rental opportunities that offer them some of the same conveniences they had in their former home that may be found in a smaller single-family home, a townhome or condominium for lease.
The Rental Lifestyles division also works with property owners, lenders and banks to find suitable renters. “We offer a wide array of services from discreetly qualifying tenants to negotiating and servicing leases,” said Peter Voigt, performance director for Rental Lifestyles.
Voigt joined Stirling Sotheby’s and helped launch the Rental Lifestyles division earlier this year after six years working for major rental and property management firms in Central Florida. That hands-on experience along with the marketing scope of the Sotheby’s International affiliation provides an enormous market base to meet the demands of renters and owners impacted by the current recession.
