The one place that real estate seems to be doing better right now is in the first time home buyer area.

This is a market that certainly is in better shape.  I think that many people in their second or third homes have decided that they are just going to stay put for now unless they are moving due to a job change.

So, my recommendation if you are thinking of getting into real estate or  kicking your business up a gear, is to focus on the first time home buyer or first time home renter market.

These are the homes that are priced below the median value for the neighborhood.

Focus on 3 bedroom homes, pref with at least 1.5 bathrooms.

As far as commercial and multi-family markets, they still have a way to go as well and I believe that they will suffer for several more years.

Multi-family properties will likely recover faster than the rest of the commercial sector.

If you are a multi-family or commercial owner and have issues with your current financing,  comment on this post.

I won’t publish it if you don’t want me to.

I can help with your commercial and multi-family real estate capital structure and specialize in commercial loan modifications.

You must be careful who you deal with in this market of “Alternative Lending”.  You need to be sure whomever you work with is not out to just get an upfront fee.
Additionally, you need to find out where the capital is coming from and you want to make sure that lender has the capital on hand, not just “committed capital.”  These types of loans are scrutinized heavily and there is much due diligence that goes on for a commercial property.
You should also perform your own due diligence on your potential lender, the good one’s will expect that and will be more than happy to prove it to you.

Think about this, if you let your EMD go hard, you better be sure that the lender you are working with can actually fund your deal.  Once that EMD goes hard, you are going to lose it if your lender can’t come to the table with the capital.  How would you like to lose a 250K earnest money deposit because you didn’t do your own due diligence on your lender?

Here are two quick points that you can do once you have an agreement from your lender that they will do the deal.

* References – Ask for references of recent deals similar to yours that they have successfully funded… make sure they are recent.
* Proof of Funds – Ask for a proof of funds letter.  Most frequently, this should be on the lender attorney’s letterhead.

Those two steps will save you a bunch of heartache.  There are other ways to vet out your lender, but these two are the most important steps.

I am now sourcing deals for several hedge fund lenders that focus on commercial real estate backed bridge loans.
If you have a project that you need funding for and have been turned down by traditional lenders or just know that they will never fund it and you don’t want to waste your time, I would be happy to discuss your deal and see what program it may fit into.

Even if you have a deal that may be able to be funded by a traditional lender, bridge capital may be your best option if you need to get a great deal on a distressed property.

Traditional lenders take typically 90-180 days or more to fund a commercial deal.  Contrast that with a bridge loan which can be closed in less than 30 days.

If you were a seller, would you rather get your money in 30 days or 180?  Many lenders for REO properties can not wait that long for a property to come off their books.

With this in mind, whom do you think is going to get the best price on an asset, someone with quick close bridge capital or someone with a traditional lender that will have to wait to get funded?

Some borrowers that have been offered principal reductions on their current loan can not even go to a traditional bank.  If the FDIC has the loan from a failed institution, they may require that they be taken out by a Non-FDIC insured institution.  This is another area where a bridge lender excels.

Once you have taken down the asset with bridge capital and the property is stabilized, then you can refinance into agency paper for a better rate and longer terms.

The bridge lenders I work with do NOT charge upfront fees.
I have a capabilities presentation you can review.
They will provide the proof you need to vet them out.

* How to enter the secretive realm of the
hedge funds, to connect them with money making
opportunities right in your neighborhood right now

* How to benefit from the commercial real estate
crash, without investing a dime in buying or selling
properties

* How to find deals with almost no work, so you

The difference? You’ll have access to the direct
decision-makers on the loans you want funded. And
they’ll have access to private equity and hedge fund
investors because everyone is participating in the
loans, not brokering them to someone else

* How to submit a deal so that there is no further work
required on your part

* A simple “back of the envelope” way to know
that a deal is likely to fly, and when it’s not.

* What makes a good deal or a bad deal

* How to go to networking meetings and find deals
right and left

* How to connect applicants with lenders with a simple
two page form guaranteeing you will get paid, so that
is ALL you have to do, you’re done, and someone else
makes you money while you move on or pursue your hobbies
and spend time with family.

* How to make the big money in “commercial
loan modifications” and “workouts”

Register for the webinar here:

BTW. This training webinar alone is easily worth thousands to a
person who is willing to take the action steps and there MAY not
be ANY replay:

Full Disclosure: While Richard and I are covering a ton of great
stuff on the call, he can’t possibly teach you everything you
need to know in a 1-2 hour webinar.
There is an offer at the end to get further training and support
from Richard and his team. If you decide to purchase his program,
my company will be compensated and you’ll be helping me feed the
children (The Moreland Children, 4 with a 5th one on the way .

Get this though, if you decide to purchase the program, I’m going
to include a very special bonus to help you with your online
marketing as well. You’ll be able to apply this bonus to ANY
type of business you are doing online.
Remember though, there is no obligation to purchase anything
and the webinar alone is going to be worth some serious money.

Unless you get direct updates from the FDIC, you probably haven’t heard this yet. SIX (6) banks went belly up on Friday. That is a total of 15 for the year!! Last year, we only lost 140. Yeah right, ONLY 140. That was a HUGE number. This year is going to be an even bigger year of banks closing. I’ll bet that we see between 200-250 banks get shutdown.

So… WHO do you think is the most motivated seller out there right now? They don’t want you to know it and they put up a great front, but the banks and other lenders are the MOST motivated sellers for today and likely for the next 2-3 years. Why are they so motivated?

It’s simple actually, but not intuitive. The banks are getting hammered by the FDIC right now, so much so, the FDIC can not even keep up with the numbers of banks that they need to close. If the FDIC had the manpower and a way to handle it all, they would likely get it all over with quickly like ripping off a band-aid… but they can NOT handle all of the volume.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is one of the agencies that goes in and examines the banks’ books. If the bank is found to be out of compliance in the number of performing loans to non-performing loans and the amount of cash on hand, they have serious consequences.
So serious in fact, if the deficiencies are not corrected quickly, they come in and close down the bank. That is why you can bank on at least 2-5 banks closing on any given Friday right now.

What’s even worse, to help correct the issue, banks are calling commercial loans due to build up their cash reserves. The strange thing is, they are calling the PERFORMING LOANS due!!! They are then taking significant discounts on even performing loans just to raise cash. The reason the call commercial loans due is because they CAN. It is written into most of the commercial loans out there that the bank can call them due.

So, how can YOU take advantage of this situation?

If not more importantly, how can you HELP in this situation? Well, you and I are not going to fix this problem ourselves, it is just too big. However, there are several ways to help sellers, the banks and your own wallet in this economy. First, you need to arm yourself with the knowledge and the capital to get it done.

Good news!! If you are already dabbling with commercial real estate, or you think you’d like to, there are many ways to get involved. I suggest start small, learn the language and get relationships.
I will be hosting some webinars over the next several weeks to help you in that education process.

Also, if you missed my webinar on Thursday night, go below for the encore call.
You’ll see why once you get a chance to see it.

My guest has a way to accelerate your involvement in commercial real estate by hooking you up with funding straight from Government agencies that MUST lend this money out. In fact, they added an additional $4.5 Billion to this amount in 2009… Tons of it is still available.

If you tried to get on the call Thursday and couldn’t get connected, I would like to apologize. We had an issue with the original webinar link so we had to create a new meeting. A few people e-mailed me to let me know they connected but only saw a blank screen. So, I’m very sorry about the issue. To make up for it, Tuesday night I’m hosting an encore webinar.

Anyway, enter your name and e-mail address below for the replay.

Foreclosures, Foreclosures, Foreclosures. That is a very popular term these days and yet folks are queasy about the investment real estate market.

Where do homeowners go when they lose their house?

Market rate housing or subsidized housing?

Traditionally, people do not have anything upon foreclosure and market rents are staying high in competitive markets. This leaves the affordable market as a great source for former homeowners.

A recent Associated Press Article outlined this crisis but also warned of another pending crisis.

The value of tax credits – what us developers are often given by the government when doing large deals – is worthless.

Keep reading…

“The government knows there is a crisis” and are looking for ways to fix it.

In fact, as I have been saying quite frequently, the Stimulus Bill is actually providing for holders of tax credits through the tax credit exchange program.

This isn’t bad, this is good!

So instead of working your tail off to get the tax credits, then getting your award, you now may not need to seek a investors.

Why? Because they are buying the credits back!

It’s time to figure out what deals are working and how best to get that next deal structured. Look for areas hard hit by foreclosures and see if you can put a larger scale project together.

The tax credits come through and you can either search for an investor or seek government assistance.

Easy enough? Don’t forget your developer fee – yep, that’s cash at closing!
