The Smart Way to Play a Real Estate Slowdown. (04 Jun 2006)
The author focuses on preparing for the opportunity of buying good real property at a bargain price. One of the smartest ways to get ready is to make friends with a local bank. If an economic slowdown develops and banks start foreclosing, the smaller ones are likely to end up holding title to homes directly. They'll sell their foreclosed properties as quickly as possible to a responsible owner. So contact the head of a bank's mortgage lending unit and ask what proportion of mortgage loans are retained by the bank itself. If the answer is more than 55%, you've found a good candidate. Gary Eldred, author of The Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing, says be on the lookout for this bright-red flag: local home builders throwing in freebies. Take note of asking prices by checking the Web listings of the brokerages marketing the properties, then get closing prices at your county assessor's office. If prices are soft and you're mentally ready to make your move, it's time to cash in on the friendships you've been building at your neighborhood bank.Full Text Word Count:822Database: Academic Search Premier

Un-Real Estate. (04 Jun 2006)
The article discusses real estate investment. At this moment the real estate market is looking backward. What it sees is comforting but irrelevant. In the past five years real estate investment trusts have outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500: up 19.1% annually for the Bloomberg REIT index, negative 3.2% for the S&P. Jeremiah O'Connor, founder and managing partner of O'Connor Capital Partners in New York, is one of a conscientious appraisers of value. In his 35 years in the business, says O'Connor, he has never seen such a virulent case of a syndrome he himself has identified: AEL, for "aggravated excess liquidity." O'Connor, whose organization manages $3 billion in private real estate investments, is talking about income-producing property. For many years the standard cash return on income-producing real estate was 9%, O'Connor relates.In booms it was less; in busts, more. But 9% was the number to which it regressed. Today it yields 5% to 7% on average--with all signs pointing to even lower yields just ahead. The prevalence of penthouse-level prices. Consider that, in 2000, REIT stocks traded at one-third the multiple of the S&P average. Now REITs and the S&P are neck and neck, O'Connor notes. And as multiples have been expanding, the growth in REIT cash flow--so-called funds from operations, or FFO--has been decelerating.Full Text Word Count:833Database: Academic Search Premier

A joint proposal with the U.S.Treasury Department would allow financial subsidiaries of national banks to also act as real estate brokers and managers.

Jerry Giovaniello, the National Association of Realtors' senior vice president of government affairs, said he is optimistic Allard will revive the bill.
