Real Estate Investment Managers Struggle to Keep Up with Demand for More Information as Economy Stalls – Survey Shows

Real Estate Investment Companies Have Trouble Generating Portfolio and Fund-Level Reports, Evaluating Debt Management Strategies, and Projecting Future Compliance in a Timely Manner

Needham, MA (PRWEB) January 27, 2009 — A survey of commercial real estate investment managers shows demand for information has been growing as the economy has been slowing down. Over 80% of the survey respondents say the frequency of demands for reports and information is either significantly higher or higher now compared to a year ago.

Survey results show that despite the growing demand for information, companies are struggling to measure many of the key risk parameters in a timely manner. Tenant exposure is one of these parameters which most companies still measure on a quarterly basis or even less frequently.

The survey further reveals the difficulties companies are experiencing trying to project future compliance with Loan-to-Value (LTV) and Debt Coverage Service Ratios (DCSR) as property values and projected income continue to decline. Over a third of the respondents indicated it takes them several days or weeks to calculate future DSCR for a portfolio of assets, and almost half of the respondents need that amount of time to calculate future DSCR for their entire fund. This is despite the fact that more than 70% of the respondents consider these ratios as either highly important or important to their financial and operational decision making.

Conducted by Resolve Technology, the survey was completed by over 50 representatives of investment management firms, REIT’s, and private equity firms. "Risk management has become a paramount concern to investors and investment managers alike," says Resolve’s CEO Eric Forman. "With property values going down and some tenants defaulting on lease payments, debt ratios can quickly be out of compliance with loan terms. Companies managing commercial real estate investments in today’s market want to be able to analyze and understand these metrics on a daily basis, not monthly or quarterly."

What-if scenarios are used by most companies in the industry to evaluate future strategies, including strategies for managing real estate debt. However, only a third of the companies responding to the survey use what-if scenario to evaluate their debt strategies on a monthly or weekly basis, while 41% do it once a quarter and 22% only once a year or less.

"The survey clearly demonstrates the struggles of the industry to keep up with the growing demand for timely information and the need for proactive, forward-looking risk management capabilities," says Forman. "It also shows that most companies still rely on custom-built Excel spreadsheets as the primary tool for measuring risk and running what-if scenarios. There is an urgent need for better information infrastructure and analysis tools across the industry."

The complete survey results are available for download on the Resolve website at http://www.resolvetech.com/resources/surveys/debt%2Dsurvey%2Dregistration/

Focusing on the unique needs of the real estate investment industry, Resolve’s solutions help optimize investment strategies, proactively control and manage risk, and ultimately deliver higher returns to investors.

The Phoenix Group Solidifies its Position in the Distressed Second Mortgage Market with Strategic Loss Mitigation and Deficiency Collection Capabilities

The markets and the media have been virtually silent about distressed second mortgages – until now. Through the combination of experience and relationships, The Phoenix Group announces a holistic non-performing second mortgage solution. The Phoenix Group focuses on upfront product procurement including pricing and data validation, asset management and recovery through innovative loss mitigation, settlement and collection efforts and subsequent asset sale or re-trade.

Duluth, GA (PRWEB) January 27, 2009 — The markets and the media have been virtually silent about distressed second mortgages – until now. Through the combination of experience and relationships, The Phoenix Group announces a holistic non-performing second mortgage solution. The Phoenix Group focuses on upfront product procurement including pricing and data validation, asset management and recovery through innovative loss mitigation, settlement and collection efforts and subsequent asset sale or re-trade.

The Phoenix Group of Affiliated Companies, LLC is an asset management leader in the second mortgage arena. With deep roots in the credit card debt and real estate industries, The Phoenix Group considers the second mortgage market the niche market to be in right now. "Pricing is at or near the bottom right now, with supply being relatively high. However, we believe that could change significantly in the next 12-24 months. The time is right to potentially corner this market," says CEO Fred Howard who has over $4.5Bn in debt trades under his belt.

"This is a whole new ballgame," said Sarah Barry, COO of The Phoenix Group. "We have all the right players and equipment in place and are already tested. We are excited that our solution creates a channel to buy, service and sell delinquent second mortgage assets that require specialty loan loss mitigation and liquidation. With our firm’s buying experience, we can maintain price advantage and create a conduit, or flow-based access points, in order to manage a viable strategy in the subordinate asset market. Our operational partner facilities provide both secured and unsecured specialty loss mitigation and collections throughout the nation."

Many banks are beginning to work with homeowners to modify mortgages. However, recent reports point to increased payments and re-defaulting loans because the modifications add interest and fees back to the principal. Shawn Barry, President of The Phoenix Group, points out, "We understand the importance of aggressive loan modification and settlement offers to give the homeowners the proper incentive to act and get themselves back on their feet. The Phoenix Group integrates its vast network of collectors and servicers to train them on unique workout plans in times when most loan modifications are not working."

What about those second mortgages once a foreclosure has occurred? The Phoenix Group manages unsecured second mortgages that are commonly considered deficiencies. "We work with borrowers who are no longer in the home due to foreclosure. It is important to recognize that if a second mortgage is not wiped clean in a foreclosure, the second mortgage is still a valid, legal debt. It remains on record and may impact future purchases. We want to assist in creating a payment history so that people have the opportunity to re-invent themselves and purchase another home," adds Shawn.

The time is right to exploit this niche market of non-performing second mortgages. Until now, few, if any, have put all of the pieces together. The Phoenix Group is the holistic solution to tap into the distressed second mortgage market before the opportunity goes away.

Bertone Home Staging Lends Florida Home Sellers a Hand with Free Staging Services

With the current downturn in the real estate market, Florida homeowners are struggling to give their homes the added boost needed for an attractive sale. Bertone Home Staging, servicing Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, is familiar with this obstacle and is, in turn, offering free home staging for home sellers who are looking to combat the endless vacant property pitfalls.

(PRWEB) January 27, 2009 — Bertone Home Staging, South Florida’s premier home staging company, is offering free home staging for homeowners with vacant properties in order to help them to jumpstart their home-selling efforts. In today’s sour housing environment, homeowners face a number of struggles in attracting potential buyers. In addition to the financial burden of maintaining a vacant property, many home sellers are confronted with the real challenge of protecting and securing an unoccupied house.

Vandalism, squatters, insects, bad odors, and even homeowner association fines for improper maintenance are some of the issues that home sellers deal with when trying to market a vacant property. Since the 1980s, programs that include home staging with property managers have been regularly used to help combat these problems and encourage buyer interest.

Property manager ‘house sitters’ are qualified dwellers who temporarily move into vacant houses, maintaining the property in model home condition in order to expedite a sale. Statistically, an occupied home fairs far better on the housing market in part because the occupant is able to maintain and assure the upkeep of the property while providing enhanced security. Property managers pay a small fee to occupy the home but dramatically increase the competitiveness of a property, creating a win-win situation for all parties.

Furthermore, property managers pay for maintenance expenses, reduce risk of defacement, and make sure the property is clean and presentable with professional, model-type home furniture, all of which improve the likelihood of a home selling more quickly.

An important element of a property manager’s job is to maintain a Staged home, which boosts home buying interest. And for Floridians in the Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach areas, Bertone Home Staging is offering the same time tested home staging/property manager program for the convenience and support of South Florida’s struggling home sellers. The South Florida based company is offering the service free of charge for home sellers with vacant properties.

Bertone’s home staging/property manager program helps homeowners sell their properties for top dollar by preparing and decorating a home before it is listed for sale. Bertone significantly improves buyers’ first impressions on otherwise empty homes. Staged homes look great in print and internet advertising, attract a broader range of qualified buyers, and generally command a higher appraisal price. According to Bertone, a staged property statistically sells 50 percent faster.

Bertone’s home staging with property manager program provides the vital components that give a property a competitive edge. Bertone Home Staging provides a reliable and affordable way to drastically increase the chance of a quick and profitable home sale.

"After my vacant property sat unsold for months, I finally called Bertone Home Staging," says Bertone customer Mike, from Coral Gables. "They came in and transformed my empty house into a warm and inviting home. Thanks again Bertone. You’re a real lifesaver!"

About Bertone Home Staging
As a leader in the industry for over three years, Bertone is committed to providing the finest Home Staging services available today. Bertone’s highly knowledgeable and experienced team of decorating, design, and staging professionals are dedicated to helping South Floridian home sellers during the ups and downs of the real estate market; always thinking of ways to help the community.

"This transaction allowed Global Freight to consolidate its Huntington and Hauppauge operations under one roof, while also meeting its strategic real estate plans for future growth," said Mr. Rechler. "We are extremely please to welcome Global Freight to our constantly growing tenant roster."

Situated in the heart of Hauppauge, 85 Nicon Court is a single-story industrial complex totaling 104,000 square feet. The property is conveniently located in close proximity to a number of major transportation options, making it ideal for Global Freight Management’s requirements.

Harry Stavro of Rechler Equity Partners represented the ownership in the lease negotiations. Mario Asaro of United Realty acted on behalf of Global Freight Management.
