NT Group Inc. (A commercial real estate holding company owned by Tish Johnson of  TCB Properties, LLC) will be presenting a series of commercial and business real estate investment and job creation opportunities in the US to allow foreign entrepreneurs to invest in real estate and/or certain zones the US and create American employment under a US Immigration department program designed to improve the economy and allow immigration of wealthy investors.

James Palmer, Washington State Department of Commerce economic development manager, said recently; “There is a kind of gold rush going on now – developers trying to get projects going and a HUGE group of Chinese with money.  It’s a marriage made in heaven.”

Although these investments seem simple and straightforward, the process really should require a team of professionals; real estate broker, immigration attorney and accountant or business analyst.  Why?  There is a requirement that the investment must produce at least 10 newly created full-time jobs by within 2 years in order to gain permanent residency.

In 2010, there were $845 million in foreign EB5 investments.  This figure is expected to double in 2012 as developers struggle to gain traditional sources of funding which have proven to be difficult in our current economic situation.

In order to learn more about Washington State economic opportunities for commercial real estate investment and growth in the Seattle area, contact Tish Johnson, Real Estate Broker at 206-501-5330.

Commercial RE loans are traditionally originated in 5 and 7 year maturity, if the bank will re-finance the loan, this isn’t a problem.  The new banking requirements for these types of loans has changed significantly recently.  These changes have altered the landscape of commercial real estate loans in general and especially those that used CMBS to finance commercial real estate projects.

In 2007 – 2008, the height of the RE “bubble”, CMBS (Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities) was a $230 Billion Dollar business.  By 2009 this figure dropped to $39 Million. Owners, developers and investors relied on this securities market for financing during the last decade.

In a CMBS transaction, many single mortgage loans of varying size, property type and location are pooled and transferred to a trust.  Notes originated under these trances are now coming due.  So how does that affect buying, developing and selling commercial Real Estate?

Rents and occupancies are still weak in many markets and the availability of financing can make or break a deal.  Of the $1.4 Trillion of commercial real estate debt coming due by the end of 2014, roughly 52% is backed by properties that are underwater, according to Trepp LLC, a research firm that tracks the commercial property market.

There is going to have to be some imaginative financing/seller financing/trades going on for awhile – but it really will be good to get back to old fashioned basics. There are tremendous values now – instead of “pie in the sky” value – real honest to goodness value here in the Pacific Northwest.

This whole mess with the financial institutions vaporizing and the trickle-down affect it will have, reminds me of a scene from Dr. Zhivago when Geraldine Chaplin’s character thought of her life of affluence and now how a dozen families were living in their former home she said: “It is much more fair”.

Get ready for a lot of “fair”.
