In the commercial real estate investment world, an investor will more often than not make a mistake or two. They might be subtle errors, but over time the costs can be compounded and the entire real estate portfolio can be affected.

At Investment Analytics Group (IAG), we can help you see the big picture and we are your partner. We can help maximize the overall performance of properties by bringing knowledge and experience in property management, leasing, lease administration, acquisitions, and due diligence, enabling us to develop and implement ownership solutions to achieve the objectives in operating and leasing property. If you have a distressed commercial real estate investment property or just want us to look at the performance of your property please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Below are some common errors that in almost every case the cause can be traced to a lack of knowledge about a few simple precepts that form the ground rules of successful commercial investments.

1. Failure to mind the balance sheet – There are four ways to make money in real estate: cash flow, appreciation, equity growth, and tax benefits. The operating statement shows just one of those – the cash flow. The balance sheet shows the other three.

Just as one adjusts rents and expenses to improve operating performance, the balance sheet should be managed to best utilize the assets. The key measure, contrary to popular belief, is not ROI (return on investment); it’s ROE (return on equity). These decisions also affect the speed of wealth creation and tax efficiency.

That’s three of the four or 75% of the sources of profit! If you don’t understand your balance sheet, sit down with an accountant and get a lesson in the basics.

2. Bad deals and bad partners – It’s a given that we are not going to be right every time. We’re going to wind up with properties that don’t perform as expected, or that the market direction moved against, or ones we just don’t like. As Warren Buffet said, “the first rule of investing is to not lose.” Learn to spot a losing position quickly and get out.

This is not to advocate abandoning an investment plan because of minor setbacks. Every project has them, and that’s where perseverance is required. But a deal that goes sour on several fronts at once is a candidate for the “learning experience” pile. Don’t fall in the trap of being “married” to a position. The support payments will swallow you whole.

The problem may not be the property, but the people. When problems arise in partnerships, especially those that started as friendships, things can get sticky and uncomfortable. Pain may be required, but misery is optional. If your partners are driving you crazy, or if you’re all crazy, exercise a little civility and be willing to call it over.

If a good buy/sell arrangement was not included in your partnership agreement, make your own. One solution: You could write down a number that you will either pay for your partners’ interest or accept for your interest in the assets. That’s the same way my mom made my brother and me divide the last pieces of our favorite pie; one cuts the slices and the other gets to choose his piece. It instantly ends any haggling or jockeying for position.

Close the deal quickly and move on. Life is too short.

3. Over-reaching- Swinging for the bleachers in high-risk, home-run-type deals that require more capital or expertise than you have is a sure recipe for disappointment, frustration, and can end in disaster. Before you start “thinking outside the box” make sure you know how things work inside the box.

It takes hard work and perseverance to achieve success in any field, and real estate is no different. In addition to property-specific plans, it’s a good idea to also have a “big-picture” plan of your investments–where they need to take you, how, and when.

As you increase your knowledge and capacity, the big deals will come, and you’ll know you’re ready when you automatically focus on the pitfalls before the rewards.

4. “Dirt-rich, cash-poor” – This refers to the situation of having more land than cash to cover it and is a common outcome for an investor who accumulates a bunch of properties that have nothing in common but their owner.

If you have multiple properties and are using the gains from some to cover losses in others and losing the battle, it’s time to get off the treadmill, despite the temptation to hang on. Go through your portfolio in detail. Identify improvements that you can make immediately and do them. Dump losers and anything that has needs that can’t be funded in the next year.

Be merciless. Look at it like cutting diseased branches off of a tree: Serious cases may require aggressive pruning to save the core. Then focus your energy and resources on creating maximum value in the remaining properties that fit your big-picture investment goals.

5. Not using local market knowledge – We all read the national media and trade magazines and get a sense of what the “market” is doing. But in reality, all real estate is local. There is no national real estate market.

There isn’t a ticker at the bottom of the screen on CNBC that tells me what my buildings are worth. Their value is determined by local market conditions, for example: rental rates, occupancy levels, competitive space supply, demographic trends, etc.

Our existing investments provide a window on performance and needs of that market that is a competitive edge over other investors. But it is only an edge if it’s used.

By systematically collecting just a few local demographic statistics (job growth, population growth and income) and property performance fundamentals, we can get ahead of the curve. We see trends coming rather than trying to catch the last one; we create our own opportunities and reduce our vulnerability to competitive projects.

The ideal time to invest in commercial real estate is 2010 – that’s when commercial property prices will hit bottom, according to a recently published survey of industry experts, including investors, developers, lenders, brokers, and consultants.

The Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2010 study, released last week by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI), says commercial real estate (CRE) players predict vacancies to continue to increase and rents to decrease across all property sectors before the market hits bottom next year.

The consensus is that property values will ultimately drop 40 to 50 percent on average from 2007 market peaks, making 2010 and 2011 the opportune time for investors to buy at or near cyclical lows.

The survey data also indicates that investors believe capital will slowly begin to flow back into commercial real estate markets by the end of 2010, led by all-cash investors.

The research firm Real Capital Analytics, Inc. estimates that commercial real estate loans in default, foreclosure, or bankruptcy now total roughly $130 billion. By being selective on offers from both distressed sellers and banks that are clearing out bad loans and real estate owned portfolios, investors will score bargains on premium properties, according to the study.

The CRE property market recovery will most likely begin to gain traction before 2012, and survey participants believe that the markets performing well before the crash should be the top-performers coming out of it, with investors continuing to favor global gateway markets on the East and West Coasts.

According to the survey, Washington, D.C. ranks number one as the “recession-proof” city. Value declines there have been less than other markets as employment is buffered by the federal government.

Long-term confidence holds for New York and Boston despite financial industry downsizing. West Coast gateways – San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles – have all suffered ratings declines, but remain among the survey’s top major markets. Texas markets also continue to show strength, according to survey participants.

As prices hit their floor, the PwC and ULI study predicts that lending will be conservative, expensive, and extended only to the most-favored banking relationships. Real estate investment trusts (REITs), private equity funds, and even refashioned mortgage REITs will start to provide loans to battered borrowers but at a steep price, the companies said in their report.

A great commentary from National Real Estate Investor about how many investors in their elusive quest for the lowest price, are letting opportunities sail by.

Amid an avalanche of pessimistic commercial real estate forecasting, many investors continue to wait for a market bottom before buying distressed notes, properties and securities. Buyers are often grossly undershooting price targets, while sellers are overshooting. And the result has been the stalemate that — combined with the credit crunch — has gripped the industry for the past 15 months.

Rather than continue their elusive search for a market bottom while letting opportunities go by the wayside, investors should consider shifting their focus and identify viable real estate investment strategies tailored to meet their needs.

Case in point, Prudential Mortgage Capital launched a $1 billion commercial lending program in February, and since then has deployed about half that capital in its account. Prudential and the other active lenders today have little competition, allowing them to dictate underwriting terms and seize the best lending opportunities available. Such dominance was not possible in the previous real estate up cycle, due to an abundance of competing capital.

Prudential recently stated in its third-quarter earnings report that its return on capital from real estate lending activity is in excess of 7%, a rate of return that is quite superior to the safe bet of the 3.5% return on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds.

In another case, S.K. Hart Properties based in Newport Beach, Calif. recently bought the Bayview Corporate Center office complex, the former headquarters of failed Downey Savings & Loan. S.K. Hart purchased the asset from the FDIC for $53 million in an all-cash deal.

Totaling about 332,000 sq. ft., the two, six-story towers represent the largest FDIC asset sale to date from its portfolio of failed bank assets. Bayview Corporate Center was only 23% occupied when the deal closed.

These transactions represent distinct real estate investment programs with distinct investment objectives. When other prudent investors find their ideal opportunities, the question of price discovery — which is keeping many buyers on the sidelines — will eventually become an irrelevant one.

To be sure, property sales and refinancing activity are still occurring, even though the pace has slowed significantly. The Mortgage Bankers Association reports that commercial and multifamily loan originations fell 12% in the third quarter compared with the second quarter. On a year-over-year basis, the drop in the third quarter was a whopping 54%. But be that as it may, a number of lenders and their loan intermediaries are beginning to announce that more deals are closing, particularly in the small- to mid-cap multifamily and credit-tenant markets.

Even though forecasts for further deterioration in commercial real estate fundamentals continue unabated, many investors are still in search of returns that are simply not realistic in today’s environment. Private equity funds and their participants have grown accustomed to returns in excess of 40%, with anything less than that viewed as disappointing. This group is among the greatest pool of potential distressed asset buyers, but to date it has spent more time on the sidelines than anything else.

Preqin, a London-based alternative asset investment firm, recently reported that fund raising and investment activity at 46 private equity real estate funds was suspended through the first three quarters of 2009. This number is running well ahead of 2008, when a total of 27 funds were put on hold for the entire year. The company expects this trend to continue well into the fourth quarter, and possibly into 2010.

This trend suggests that because high-yield investors are unable to easily meet their lofty investment objectives in today’s market, they are opting to wait for others to discover a market-clearing price before they will jump in and buy.

The problem with that strategy is most other investors share a similar view. They continue to hold out for a commercial real estate Armageddon — one that has yet to materialize.

Investors like Prudential and S.K. Hart Properties that have realistic expectations in place will reap the benefits of either above-average yields or a lease-up program that they can control. These are by far preferred investment objectives to the all-consuming task of chasing the absolute lowest price.

1. What is my time horizon for this investment?
An investor time horizon relates to the duration the investor plans on holding an investment property. Some investors prefer short horizons or “flipping” while others may choose to hold a property for up to 30 years. Typically time horizons are classified into three categories:
— Short = 1 to 2 years
— Medium = 3 to 5 years
— Long = 10 to 30 years
Your time horizon is very important and effects many factors including: mortgage options, interest rates, tax rates and exit strategy, just to name a few, and thus should be determined prior to investing.

2. How active do I plan on being in my investment?
The time and effort you are willing to devote to your commercial real estate investments can greatly affect the types of properties you should evaluate for acquisition. Multi tenant buildings including office properties, retail centers and multi family properties can take a considerable amount of time to manage and lease. If you prefer to spend less time on your investments consider single tenant properties and properties that are leased “triple net”. These properties leave most of the responsibilities of ownership to the tenant and free you up for other obligations.

3. How much equity do I have available for investment purposes?
Prior to investing you should determine how much equity you have for this investment and future investments. The amount of equity will effect:
— Your loan amount
— Loan-to-value ratio
— Your interest rate
— Your loan fees
— If you need to view only those properties with owner financing available
— Your ability to purchase multiple properties and diversify risk
— The price of properties you should evaluate for potential purchase

Investment Analytics Group (IAG) can provide both transitional advisory services on a short-term engagement, as well as ongoing asset management following the transition period of your commercial real estate asset. Let IAG put our product knowledge and expertise to work for you and protect your real estate investment.

During economic downturns, owners and investors are tempted to make shortsighted cost-cutting decisions regarding the maintenance of vacant spaces or properties, often resulting in calamity. This is especially true in the fall, the ideal time to prepare for the onslaught of winter and to protect the value of your real estate by making repairs that may be been overlooked during the spring and summer.

The list of concerns regarding vacant buildings is extensive. There are the obvious problems such as frozen pipes and pest infestation. There is also a host of less obvious issues that require periodic professional monitoring to protect asset value. Following are a few of these issues:

* Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) system failures
* Building envelope damage (roofs, windows, etc.)
* Fire-protection equipment problems
* Building code certifications (fire extinguishers, RPZ, etc.)
* Life/safety equipment problems (failure of emergency lights and exit signs)
* Vandalism and theft
* Humidification problems resulting in mold remediation
* Infiltration of cold air that increases utility costs
* Local municipality intervention due to building and ground problems

The reality is that the cost of properly maintaining your vacant assets before an incident is a fraction of what it may cost to repair it after damage has occurred and can be measured both in dollars and human capital. Dealing properly with vacancies by utilizing the expertise of an experienced and skilled partner dramatically decreases the possibility of property calamities.

While some commercial real estate investments are loosing value, the medical office sector has shown remarkable resilience. According to a recent report from Marcus & Millichap, the segment is holding up much better than other property types and this trend projects to continue.

Currently the nation spends $2 trillion on health care annually, by 2013 that number is projected to grow to $3 trillion. In-fact, medical expenses have increased by an average of 7.7% over the past 10 years and now make up 17% of GDP. This exponential growth has been fueled by the large amount of baby-boomers who are steadily increasing in age and by 2013 the number of people over 55 will have increased by 20%. As more people advance in age, their medical expenses will rise correspondingly, fueling demand for the medical office segment.

Another driver of demand has been the shift from “an impatient to outpatient focus”. This has been caused by the steep rise in costs associated with hospital construction. A single hospital bed is now estimated to cost $1 million, driving many new hospitals to house around only 100 beds compared to older hospitals featuring close to 800. This decrease in supply, coupled with an increase in demand from an aging populace, has created a large need for medical office space.

These trends are reflected in the industry’s employment numbers. While the rate of job growth has decreased, job growth itself is still positive. 50,000 jobs have been added this year and another 200,000 are projected to be added by years end. By 2013, 2.4 millions jobs are projected to be added to the sector.

Despite these positive indicators, vacancy is projected to rise. This is due to the economic climate which is forcing many to abstain from health care expenditures they previously would have made. All told, vacancy is projected to increase by 100 bps this year, reaching 12.4% and rents will decrease by roughly 2.7%.

This increase in vacancy should be seen as a possible opportunity for those considering investment. Unlike other sectors, medical office real estate is virtually guaranteed to see a future rise in value as our population ages and health costs increase. Furthermore, if you couple a medical office investment with a net lease structure, you can create a passive investment that will see real growth in the future. This is perfect for someone who wishes to take a less active role in property management but still see his property value escalate. The combination of higher demand, less space and higher employment make medical office real estate an attractive net lease investment for the future.

There’s Value in Real Estate – An Article from The New York Times

The last thing most people are thinking of investing in right now is real estate. The collapse of residential values stung almost all homeowners. And the commercial market, from offices to shopping malls, is full of uncertainty as unemployment rises and consumer spending continues to be weak.

Greg Rand, managing partner at Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty, a brokerage in the suburbs north of New York, even has a theory to guide investors. He calls it “house rich.”

Simply put, the days of buying almost anything and watching it appreciate are over. Those who want to make money in real estate now will have to do extensive research and expect to hold the property for at least a decade.

The crux of the idea is not buying a distressed property but “finding your Florida.” By that he means investing in a piece of real estate, be it residential or commercial, in a hard-hit place that has to rebound.

“Florida is in a storm right now,” Mr. Rand said. “It’s overdeveloped, overspeculated and overleveraged.”

Yet, with 78 million baby boomers expected to retire in the next two decades, the state’s long-term prospects are solid: a good proportion of them will want to be someplace warm and sunny when they stop working.

Mr. Rand is not alone in this. Some of the biggest players in real estate see opportunity around the country.

“We are now looking at one of those rare opportunities to invest in commercial real estate,” said Hessam Nadji, managing director at Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real estate investment adviser based in Encino. Calif. “There are plenty of properties in the $5 million to $20 million range, whether they’re apartments or shopping centers, that are located in places where supply is constrained.”
He added that these otherwise solid properties were for sale now because losses elsewhere were forcing their owners to raise money.

While many investors may not believe that real estate is returning as a steady, performing asset, the following criteria can guide those ready to re-enter the market.

Investing in real estate has always carried risk. But where many people went wrong was in taking a house vanity approach — they bought their dream home without knowing how its price compared to either historical levels or the prices in nearby neighborhoods.

Mr. Rand tells the story of the Trump Tower, in White Plains, which he represents. When the sales office opened during construction, buyers focused on the penthouse condominiums with views of Long Island and New York City. At that time in 2004, the going price for 2,200 square feet on a high floor was around $1.8 million, he said. That would seem to be a deal for a buyer in Manhattan, 30 miles south, but in White Plains, few single-family homes had ever sold for that much.

He said investors who bought units on lower floors — priced closer to $700,000 — did much better. The reason was that their fixed costs — mortgage, fees and taxes — were lower, which meant they could attract a larger pool of renters to cover their investment.

The lesson here was that anyone who really knew the White Plains market would have been more hesitant in buying a $2 million apartment as an investment. “The key is due diligence over sex appeal,” he said.

What makes or breaks any real estate investment is fixed costs. Investors need to know how they are going to cover the amount they have to pay, whether the property is rented or not.

In Trump Tower, the monthly fixed costs for the penthouse apartment were $11,100 with an expected rent in 2005 of $8,000, Mr. Rand said. On the lower floors, the costs and expected rent were the same, both about $5,000.

Any experienced real estate investor will tell you there are times when even the best properties, whether apartments or shopping centers, have vacancies and that means some of those costs fall on the investor.

This sounds obvious, but from 2005 until early last year, there were plenty of amateur investors who only realized this after their tenants left.

What signals a return to understanding that basic principle is a return of savvier investors.
“A lot of people who are coming back into the market that I’ve known for decades are saying the market is normalizing again,” said Harvey E. Green, president and chief executive at the commercial real estate brokerage Marcus & Millichap, and a 40-year veteran of the real estate market. The years “2005, 2006, and 2007 were the frothiest part of the marketplace, and these people stepped out on the sidelines.”

In other words, the smart money is back after years of watching. Consider the South Florida market again. Many people who got caught had visions of renters covering all the costs on properties they bought. When renters became scarce and values plummeted, these investors did not have a backup plan. A better way is to set a goal for the investment. Do you want to add to your cash flow immediately or can you afford to take a longer view of 10 to 15 years?

If your goal is to make money now, you will probably have to buy an older property and fix it up. This requires a more active role, and still, the return will not be what it was at the peak.

Mr. Nadji said investors in Class B commercial real estate — solid but not marquee properties — can expect returns in the high single digits. But most of those properties are not likely to appreciate in value for two or three years.

With a longer view, the options change. Ruth Trettis, a broker at Premier Properties in Naples, Fla., said one investor bought nine homes, worth more than $32 million, in the last year in Port Royal, the town’s most affluent neighborhood. Another investor bought three homes in Port Royal worth $14 million over a single weekend in May and a fourth one last month for $13.5 million (it was listed at $19.9 million).

So far, she said, neither buyer has done anything with the properties. Even though both bought these houses at steep discounts, the costs of just holding them are immense. But they clearly have a long-term goal and a belief in the area.

Real estate is like every investment today. Experts and amateurs alike have strong opinions on what will work and what won’t.

The message within the real estate market itself is mixed. Last week’s report on flat home sales from April to May seemed to be heartening, but it was misleading. Homes sell better as the weather warms up. The better indicator of a bottom will come when year-on-year numbers are flat, and those have yet to appear.

The one upside is inflation, or at least the fear of inflation. Hard assets like real estate historically do well when there is inflation.

What this means is the longer your time horizon for investing in property, the better your chance of achieving real returns.

“Real estate was never a short-term investment,” Mr. Green said. “It was just in that frothy market.”

In this sense, the one certainty is that the age of the flipper is behind us.
