Family business builds loyalty | News-Gazette.com

CHAMPAIGN - When brothers Jeff, Steve and Mike Hartman went into the real estate development and management business together, they combined more than the initials of their first names. They also merged everything their father taught them about the construction business and all their mother taught them about family loyalty in their three enterprises, JSM Apartments, JSM Development and JSM Management. Under the JSM umbrella, the Hartmans now own and manage 700 apartments and 114,000 square feet of commercial space in Champaign-Urbana, including the new Technology Plaza apartment/retail/office complex in Campustown. And they have more developments on the way. Already started are a new apartment/retail complex on Gregory Street in Urbana, near the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, and a new retail center on South Neil Street in Champaign, where Hillcrest Lumber used to be. The Hartmans say they work well together in business, running things jointly and never undertakin...

Higher Home Prices Risk Closing Door on U.S. Housing Momentum

Image
By Vince Golle Signs are mounting that rising home values are starting to close the door for more Americans, threatening to temper the momentum in residential real estate . Purchases of previously owned houses unexpectedly fell in July to an 11-month low and sales of new homes were the weakest this year, reports showed this week. While the median time on the market for existing properties was 30 days in July compared with 36 days a year ago, indicating resilient demand , the number of listings remains lean and problematic.  Limited inventory has been a nagging theme for the housing market and is the primary reason why home prices continue to climb and outpace wage growth . While borrowing costs remain low by historical standards, affordability is its weakest of the expansion. The number of Americans who view home-purchase conditions as “good” has fallen to a six-year low, according to the University of Michigan’s latest consumer sentiment survey . To be sure, more still say the bu...

The Daily Illini : 'Pass-down' leases pose problems

“Want $200 and a case?!” the bold- faced lettering reads on the crumpled sheet lying between units 115 and 117 of Johnstowne Apartments, 508 E. John St. The note continues: “My roommates and I really want to live here next year and are looking for a lease pass-down of a 4 person apartment. We will pay you $200 (that’s $50 a person!) and get you a case of your favorite beer.” The sign, posted by Selissa Mantas, sophomore in LAS, was one of several posted at Johnstowne – a complex JSM Management Inc. says, along with Green Street Tower , John Street Lofts and Gregory Place, 701 S. Gregory St., is among its most popular – reflects the trend of exchanging money and/or alcohol for an apartment pass-down. The contract, which elicits responses from “smart” to “unfair”, is a method many prospective lessees are using to obtain a unit in one of JSM’s hard-to-get properties. The term “pass-down”, coined by JSM, describes a practice which allows tenants to hold their apartment for others. Unl...

St. Charles man who killed twin daughters, self, sought treatment, guns

Randy Coffland knew the depths of depression well. He'd tried therapy. He'd taken an increasing amount of antidepressants. But by January 2017, Coffland began shutting out family and making threats no one took seriously until it was too late. When all the mental health treatments failed , he erased his twin daughters ' names from his life insurance policy . On March 10, he murdered them in his St. Charles apartment, shot his wife and killed himself. Now his widow, Anjum Coffland , is fighting to undo that change to Randy's life insurance policy . Litigation filed this week argues Randy was not of sound mind when he made his brother and a friend the beneficiaries of his $750,000 policy. Burt Brown, the attorney representing Anjum in the case, acknowledged his client has an "uphill battle" to reverse the beneficiary changes in the insurance policy because the holder is presumed to have a right to make changes and Randy is deceased and can't...

Details into Minnetonka officer-involved shooting may not be released for weeks

  The questions haunting relatives and friends of an Austin, Minn., man shot and killed by Minnetonka police may remain unanswered for months. The Hennepin County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the officer-involved shooting of Michael Tray, 27, in an apartment parking garage on Wednesday, but in similar cases, it’s taken months before details are publicly released. It was the first officer- involved fatal shooting in Minnetonka history and at least the sixth such death statewide so far this year, according to the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Although Tray was carrying a gun, family and friends say the lack of details about what prompted police to shoot makes coping with his death and preparing for his funeral Tuesday all the more difficult. “My heart goes out to them [the Minnetonka police officers involved ],” Tray’s stepfather, Jim Greer, of Austin, said Friday, “but on the other hand, my 27-year-old stepson is dead. … I don’t understand.” Police were called to the ...
