  Spring 2010 Real Estate Investment Outlook Jun 3, 2010 10:04 AM It may be too soon to pop the champagne corks, but investor sentiment is improving as economic news turns positive and a bottom nears for commercial real estate markets. Sixty percent of respondents indicate they plan to increase their commercial real estate holdings over the next year. That is a more bullish sentiment compared with the 51% who voiced the same opinion in the fourth quarter of 2008 when property values were dropping rapidly amid the credit crisis. Respondents who do plan to acquire property in the next 12 months say they expect to boost their portfolios by an average of 25%.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) has confirmed that commercial real estate loans played a significant role in the failure of five banks closed by the Comptroller of the Currency and state agencies over the Memorial Day holiday. Three Florida banks, along with a California and a Nevada lender were shut down. All five institutions reopened on Tuesday after other banks assumed their deposits. To date this year, 78 banks have failed, and the number of failures for 2010 is expected to exceed last year’s total of 140, says FDIC spokesman Greg Hernandez, in Washington, D.C. “So far, in the failures this year of community banks, commercial real estate loans have been playing a large role,” says Hernandez. “It looks like all three Florida banks did experience significant losses in thei...

More and more, buyers and sellers are not able to physically participate in the closing. This calls for the use of a Power of Attorney. We have heard from a couple of banks (and expect others to follow) that they are requiring the poa to sign the names and then write out Attorney-in-Fact each time a signature is needed. Keep in mind this will add a few extra minutes to the closings. Also remember, we will need the ORIGINAL POA. (We cannot record a copy) If a Trustee cannot attend the closing, most trusts will not allow a Trustee to assign a P.O.A. You may want to consider assigning a new Trustee instead. Remember, try not to schedule closings at the end of the month. You will want to anticipate delays and schedule any closings where the tax credit is expected at least a week prior to Ju...

Banks selling their REO property often require that the buyer use the bank's title company for the closing. Is this intelligent? The Bank's foreclosure title agencies seem overwhelmed and have been missing liens in the foreclosure actions. Unfortunately, if they handle the closing afterward they often don't double-check their work. They simply update the title, looking for new items which may have shown up. This means they can't tell if they missed something or not. Here are just a few bank-owned issues we have encountered in the last couple months: 1. A second mortgage for $62,000 was missed. 2. A second mortgage for $110,000 was missed. 3. A Federal Tax lien for $10,000 was missed. 4. The bank took a deed from the owner, then tried to sell it with a $1,200,000 lien still on the proper...

My last entry was notifing you of our upcoming "Come and See" for the Anderson property we staged.  We still plan on holding the event but I wanted to update you on the outcome. We first visited this home in September.  This home had many taste specific color choices and lacked upgrades.  We made our recommendations, implemented them, but the home owners realtor suggested we wait on the staging.  Three months later, we were called by the home owner.  He decided he wanted it staged.  We staged the property and the same day we finished, he recieved an offer.  The house is now slated to close in 4 weeks!  You can view this property at www.StaleyTrans4mations.com/Trans4mationGallery.html Let me know if you want us to come and sell your home fast!
