Following the chancellor’s spring budget announcements, Associate Ahmed Butt, provides his thoughts on: the general performance of the leveraged finance and real estate finance market over the last year; a review of the trends within the leveraged and real estate finance market including the rise of refinancings and private debt; and the macro-economic factors and key challenges investors, borrowers, and lenders are likely to face in the forthcoming year. #fianancialoutlook #bankingandfinance Sarah Naylor Michael Wrigley Jonathan Grant Josie Appleyard Debbie Venn  

In a recent article by Commercial Property Executive, the commercial real estate market faces some challenges and opportunities as we move into 2022. The piece focuses particularly on financing trends, and how investors are adapting strategies to navigate uncertainties in a CRE landscape reshaped by COVID-19. 💡 Key Takeaway: With inflation concerns looming, many commercial property owners and investors are turning to alternative debt sources like life insurance companies, debt funds, and specialty lenders. This trend is likely to continue, accelerating the diversification of capital sources for commercial real estate ventures.

My latest missal in Sunday's Business Post analyses the findings of the Cass Business School's (now known as Bayes Business School) latest Real Estate Lending Report with my outlook for UK and Irish property. Put simply, the outlook is very different to 2007/8 as lenders are acting very different. This has upsides and downsides, but also may see re-pricing dragged out longer and further, as a lack of wide scale distressed sellers sees no major motivation to sell.

At Geraci LLP's Captivate Conference last Friday, I made a few points on our panel of small, independent #privatelenders that seemed to resonate with the audience: 1) Truly private money lenders are perennial and will always going to have their place in #realestateinvesting regardless of the market cycle because of their ability to get creative and their agility to close quickly. While there will always be rate chasers who are looking for the cheapest capital possible, there are plenty of borrowers who seek out the easiest financing solution available because they value their time more than a discounted rate on short-term financing. 2) "Properties never disappoint me. People do." I had a member of the audience come up to me after the panel telling me she texted that quote to her entire leadership team back in TX. The fact remains that people, no matter how much they try, could succumb to market disruptions, contractor and vendor flakiness, unforeseen budget overruns, or other circumstances out of their control. While experience can help guide investors to safer waters, if there is no equity in the property and the lender isn't properly safeguarded with an equity buffer, no one wins.

Canadian Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) present a great investment opportunity for individuals who want to avoid taking on significant debts but are still looking to gain exposure to income and capital gain potentials of the real estate market. Kazeem Jaffer, CPA, CA, MBA, Founder and CEO of Finalyze - Real Estate Finance & Accounting, recalls the main attributes of Canadian REITs, the advantages of investing in REITs, the different types and structures of REITs, and some financial reporting considerations. #cpa #accounting #cpd #enjoycpd #realestate #reit #canadianrealestate #reitinvesting #realestateinvesting
