“I’ve done commercial loans in the past, but until my first loan with CLC, I had never done them correctly. They take the work out of your hands but not the ultimate control of the loan (unless that is what you want). All I have to say is that their loan officers and processors are outstanding, their pricing is competitive and your loans will actually close within 30 days of your appraisal, which is not the case with MOST lenders.

In the Past Month News from the industry and abroad
Multifamily-housing starts gain as single-family construction lags
By Tony Stasiek, editor
Yes, every year begins with uncertainty. And as we enter 2008’s second month, commercial brokers should gain a better understanding of which markets are set to roll and which are raising red flags. Hot on the heels of President Bush signing bills extending the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act for seven years and increasing high-cost factors for Federal Housing Administration multifamily-loan limits comes the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Commercial Real Estate Finance (CREF)/Multifamily Housing Convention and Expo (Preview: Page 86). As one of the year’s first large-scale mortgage-industry events, CREF likely will be abuzz with handshaking, deal-making and chin-scratching. Will the multifamily sector see bleedover from the nonprime crunch? Or will status quo reign? According to Reis Inc., multifamily rents have increased steadily since 2004, while multifamily-vacancy rates have hovered just below 6 percent since early 2005.
Although November’s single-family construction activity fell to its lowest level in more than 16 years, multifamily starts did see growth. According to the U.S. Commerce Department, multifamily construction grew 4.4 percent in November to an annual rate of 332,000 units. Overall, construction of homes and apartments dropped 3.7 percent, while application activity for overall building permits fell 1.5 percent.
Construction spending shows slight increase in November WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. construction spending increased 0.1 percent in November on government outlays, but homebuilding spending slid 2.5 percent, the U.S. Commerce Department said.
The November figures showed home-construction spending fell for a record 21st-straight month and was down 17.5 percent from a year earlier, the department said.
“Getting the word out that the fundamentals remain solid — and that there is not any kind of consistent break in the value stream of real estate at this point — is a great way to shore up the fact that this is not a market crisis,” said Jan Sternin, MBA’s vice president of commercial, multifamily, to Scotsman Guide’s Melinda Young in late 2007.
Overall construction spending was down 0.1 percent from November 2006, the department said.
REITS see down year in 2007, with questions abounding in ’08
Regional markets — especially those in “sand states,” such as Arizona and Florida — likely will continue to be problematic, Sternin said. But as she adds in our Q&A (Page 14), multifamily lending and investment could see some bounce-back by the end of the year. And deals sealed at CREF could be their catalyst.
The rally in real estate investment trusts (REITs) ended in 2007 as turbulence in the credit markets rattled the confidence of commercial investors and effectively halted the frenetic pace of REIT privatizations. Th rough early December, the REIT composite index compiled by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) had a negative return of 11.39 percent. The index of equity REITs, which own commercial property and constitute the bulk of the market, has fallen 8.63 percent.
Unable to make it out to CREF? Follow the action through Scotsman Guide’s coverage at scotsmanguide.com/cref2008. Watch for updates in our monthly e-newsletter (subscribe: scotsmanguide.com/newsletter), as well.
For more than seven years — from November 1999 through January 2007 — REIT shares soared in value, providing investors average annualized returns of 23.6 percent, according to NAREIT. tony@scotsmanguide.com
Analysts attribute the falloff to financial institutions’ reluctance to provide loans for buyouts in light of the credit squeeze.

Inside Small-Balance
By Melinda Young
TAMPA, FLA.
As a port city, Tampa has built-in economic drivers that seem to be moving in the right direction. Cruise-passenger traffic increased 12.5 percent in 2006 over 2005 to more than 910,000 people, according to the Tampa Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau. Visitor expenditures also increased to more than $3.2 billion during the same time.
What the Locals Say
In addition, the Port of Tampa is Florida’s largest seaport in terms of cargo volume, moving almost 50 million tons of cargo each year. Meanwhile, the port continues to expand operations, in part because of the direct routes it provides to Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean.
“What’s driving the economy worldwide is imports and exports. In Tampa, especially with the expansion of the Panama Canal, we’ll have more products coming from Asia into Florida. I think international trade is an important part of our future, just as it has been for Los Angeles and New York.” — Ray Sandelli, senior managing director - Tampa, CB Richard Ellis
It also doesn’t hurt that Tampa is part of a state attracting more new businesses and experiencing population growth. Florida ranked fi fth in the 2007 Tax Foundation study of states’ business-tax climates. Tampa and neighboring St. Petersburg were Bizjournals’ 14th-best market for small businesses nationwide in 2007. And Central Florida has been expected to add 2 million residents between 2001 and 2030 With these factors in mind, developers are gearing up. Construction is on the rise in all commercial property types in the southern city.

Amid the capital-markets turmoil, lenders and brokers attending the Mortgage Brokers Forum on Small-Balance Commercial Real Estate Lending in early December voiced concerns about liquidity, spreads and underwriting — all of which have been turned upside down lately. Still, I don’t think anyone there shared one ounce of conviction that the small-balance commercial loan space wasn’t still a great place to do business. As I suggested at the forum, the market’s large size, fragmentation and solid loan performance persist. From the lenders’ perspective, the landscape also has opened up substantially, with as many as five major originators having vacated the space in the past six months as part of the nonprime fallout. Of course, this is unfortunate for the industry professionals involved. But it also creates opportunities for other lenders to pick up substantial market share. That said, because of the link between the residential and small-balance commercial sectors, the small-balance market will likely get worse before it gets better. Part of the reason is that home sales and prices are falling at a record pace because of tremendous oversupply. According to research that I presented at the forum, small commercial property acquisitions follow the direction of housing sales more closely than any other economic factor, including employment trends or population growth. Consequently, some of the previously explosive housing markets that are now experiencing severe corrections also are taking it on the chin in terms of overall smallbalance commercial loan originations.

As the above graph shows, some of the top U.S. counties in terms of small-balance volume suffered significant declines in loan volume from second quarter 2006 to the second quarter of ’07. The Miami, Los Angeles and to a lesser extent, Phoenix areas are now pummeled by overbuilt-housing conditions. Clearly, the small-balance growth engine has been slowing. But it’s still a large and attractive marketplace despite current headwinds.

ach investment comes with a certain return. For you and your clients, the goal is for those returns to be positive. In times of tightening credit, however, loans seem harder to obtain. And investors who do obtain bank loans must come to the table with more equity than in recent years. As a service to your clients, you might consider showing them how different levels of leverage can affect their investment return. It’s a fairly simple concept, but it never hurts to explain it to them or remind them of some basic principles. Sometimes, this explanation can enlighten even the most-hardened investors.

A Conduit to the Future What’s in store for conduit loans in 2008, and what does it mean for your clients? By James Wood, president, InvestWood Capital LLC, and Jonathan Campbell, banking officer, Texas Capital Bank
T
his year looks bright for
commercial mortgage brokers and bankers. Nearly $45 billion in refinancings are reported to be coming due in commercial-mortgage-backed-securities (CMBS) holdings alone. Approximately $100 billion in balloon maturities are set to roll between now and 2010, an increase from approximately $30 billion between 2005 and ’07. Much of the debt that will mature this year was made 10 years ago. After the Asian and Russian financial crises in 1997 and ’98, domestic investment flooded into commodities and real estate. These refinancings, however, will meet increased lender scrutiny and increased underwriting standards. Despite more competition from insurance companies and Fannie Mae, conduit lenders cannot afford to let their underwriting standards slip again. If they do, they risk facing CMBSinvestor scrutiny. It is up to conduit lenders to prove to their secondary markets that they can deliver quality collateral. And it is up to mortgage brokers and bankers to re-educate your borrowers on conduit lenders’ expectations. Lenders are reigning in their originators and re-instituting a textbook lending paradigm. In recent years, because of the borrower-friendly environment, CMBS investors faced thin debt coverages, maximum loan to values (LTVs), maximum loan to costs and interest-only periods. Th is kind of maximum leverage from conduit lenders is no longer possible. The high level of maturities will not meet leniency now that banks can turn down deals and still make their quotas. Because of the increased competition for loans, you may need to shop deals even more to find the right mix of terms for
primary versus tertiary — to reflect risk more accurately. A class-C multifamily property in a tertiary market will not get similar loan terms as a class-A complex in a high-end neighborhood of a major metropolitan area. Lenders will also scrutinize capitalization rates. They will expect assets’ capitalization rates to be realigned with textbook consideration for their class, type and location. Cap rates in general are expected to increase — the degree of which may affect the velocity of sales in the marketplace as portfolios are refinanced and revalued. Moreover, market news will sway individual investors from tenancies-in-common. This will also put upward pressure on capitalization rates. Overall, lenders will expect lower LTVs and loan to costs, more-conservative cash-flow estimates, greater debt-service-coverage ratios, increased reserves and reduced interestonly periods.
Conduits’ influence Conduits represent a sizable portion of lenders that tend to move in lockstep. Because conduit lenders are a growing segment of real estate (see sidebar), when they move in one direction, it can affect how other lenders conduct their transactions. In the wake of headlines announcing a critical number of residential loan defaults, demand for all types of fixed-

income securities, including CMBS, declined significantly. The resulting drop-off in demand has caused spreads on CMBS to continue to set all-time highs. The spreads that conduits offer, however, may begin to stabilize by the second quarter as more conservative leverage is delivered to the secondary market.

In the meantime, commercial banks and life-insurance companies, who maintain traditional standards and were largely unaffected by nonprime headlines, may offer more competitive spreads compared to conduit lenders. Conduits’ reaction may be severe as they attempt to quell their secondary markets’ concerns.
The right mix A result of wider spreads and more-expensive permanent financing is that borrowers have more options in structuring their refinances. You must help borrowers decide if a permanent or a mini-permanent loan is better for their portfolios and what parts are to be fi xed or floating. You may need to direct your borrowers toward mini-perm loans to help distract them from the sticker shock on 10-year terms. Mini-perm financing may become attractive to borrowers if they give up a portion of recourse debt. Other options may include mezzanine fi nancing, which will be more expensive but also increasingly necessary to make deals work. ■ ■ ■
After a period of aggressive lending practices, the market has caught up to conduit lenders. They are now more conservative in
their underwriting because the secondarymarket investors are rejecting the collateral that was available. Conduit originators have learned the importance of bringing quality collateral to their secondary market instead of trying endlessly to undercut other lenders. Brokers need to know that getting the lowest rate is no longer the only variable necessary to get a deal to work. Instead, getting deals to work now depends much more on obtaining the optimal structure.

Junior Debt Moves Up in the World Conservative lending practices open doors for subordinated-debt financing By Kyle Early, senior associate, Forman Capital
I
n an increasingly crowded
commercial real estate space, borrowers are seeking optimal leverage, and investors are targeting greater yields. Consequently, the use and availability of subordinated-debt financing is becoming more common. Put simply, subordinated debt is a loan that ranks behind senior debt for repayment in the event of a default. Subordinated-debt lenders, or junior lenders, have a second position behind the senior debt lender. This kind of financing offers multiple benefits to real estate investors. Understanding Kyle Early is a senior associate with Forman Capital. Founded in 2005, Forman Capital provides mezzanine and bridge financing from $3 million to $25 million nationwide. To date, Forman has originated and funded more than $150 million in commercial loans, quickly establishing itself as a reliable source of capital in the commercial real estate industry. Forman specializes in meeting the needs of real estate investors, developers, mortgage companies and banks. Contact Early at kearly@formancap.com.
how lenders underwrite and structure these transactions can give you an edge in today’s market.
The perks Junior debt is often less expensive than equity that requires sponsors to give up a percentage of ownership interests in their projects and to share the upside with equity investors. The increased debt leverage in these deals enhances the return on equity. Subordinated debt also allows the project’s sponsorship to retain operating control of the project. This can offer a significant advantage when a business plan changes midway through the transaction. Further, debt transactions typically require less time to underwrite than institutional-joint-venture or preferred-equity investments. They are generally easier to negotiate and close, as well.
Underwriting When underwriting junior debt on leveraged transactions, lenders consider property type, location, deal sponsorship, market dynamics, capital structure, the borrowers’ business plan and a few other factors. They are especially sensitive to
their loan to cost and loan to value. Subordinated debt traditionally capitalizes anywhere from 70 percent to 90 percent of total capitalization. Capitalization structures leveraged at more than 90 percent of cost are often thought of as equity. As such, they may require a profit
participation. This creates a potential upside for the junior lender in exchange for offering higher leverage. In many instances, however, subordinated lenders are more interested in mitigating the downside of a transaction than Continued on Page 92
