The complexities of building a full-scale e-commerce operation have been enough to prevent some other nonprofits from looking at their Web stores as anything but marginal revenue builders.
D. R. Horton and Centex, two of the four largest builders by revenue, led home builders in S.& P. indexes to a 2.6percentt decline.
Dynamic Telecom will wire new developments and pay the builders 10percentt of its revenue, with some builders also getting an equity stake, said the president, Eli Asher.
For example, Pulte Homes announced it was buying Centex to create the largest home builder by revenue.
Oppenheim, whose firm once represented mostly mid-sized family builders with revenue between $20 million to $50 million a year, says that his firm's real estate practice went from boom to bust overnight.
Among the nation's largest residential builders, the company, based in Houston, had more than $560 million in revenue in 2008, according to Builder, a trade publication.
On the housing front, government-controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a program to stem the tide of home foreclosures while a major home builder reported sobering revenue.
The home builder had $639.1 million revenues in the quarter, down from $1.41 billion in the year-prior period.
Selling off unused government land would help builders and bring in revenue.
In other words, it could be a poor choice or a great choice, depending on future trends like the price of natural gas and the overall demand for electricity, but the builders will have the revenue to repay the loans.
