WANNA BUY A LOAN?

Pssst. Reis economic numbers dude Victor Calanog has somethin' to show you: even though distressed real estate investing hasn’t generated the same volume or type of deals as RTC days, recent market upheavals imply many opportunities.
Property fundamentals have yet to recover from ‘08 highs, Victor tells us. In fact, office and retail vacancies look a lot like they did in the early ‘90s—high. Financing is also easier to score this year than last.Cap rates continue to drop, and the Fed’s pledge to keep interest rates low for two more years meansreal estate values won't be as depressed. Investors—from pension funds to sovereign wealth funds—are reporting great returns on their real estate bets, whether core or value add.
