This week, we dive into the life & times of two quintessential Men with Deep Pockets: Billionaire British Brothers David & Simon Reuben have become some of the most aggressive buyers of trophy hotel and retail assets across the country – many of them in various states of undress & distress. We then look at Apollo’s new NNN partnership with Realty Income - an alliance that says much about how both AUM Gobblers and vanilla REITs are saying they’ve got what the other needs. And finally, failed mega-retailer JCPenney is now the scene of a bruising battle with a jilted would-be buyer.

Plus, our "Punch List" rundown of the newsiest industry happenings: retail titan David Simon dies; Fannie & Freddie stocks freefall; Iran conflict raises questions about the Middle East's biggest CRE allocators.
