How to Find Conventional and Alternative Real Estate Funding Opportunities? - It's Still Out There, You Just Need to Know Where to Look!!!!!

Where do you find available funding for your commercial and residential real estate development project financing needs? Who is lending on real estate with the credit markets frozen up? Where are reliable capital sources you can rely on particularly if you are ready to lose your current real estate development project because you cannot debt service it anymore or you are acquiring land “pennies on the dollar,” however, you cannot find the right real estate funding source because they are not investing in real estate opportunities? Where do you turn if your funding source is no longer available or they will not be available for another 90 to 180 days?

The real estate bust has many commercial and residential real estate developers and builders scrambling searching for viable funding options to meet their debt servicing needs that are about to mature on current projects that are owned or opportunistic acquisitions of commercial and residential development projects in which real estate companies are acquiring at “pennies on the dollar” through real estate-owned projects of banks or institutions who in the past invested heavily in acquisition, development and construction lending for commercial or residential related projects or other capital sources or providers such as hard-money lenders, hedge funds, private equity, mezzanine, and joint venture partnerships. Idealistically, valuations have played a key role in the demise of commercial and residential companies as a going-concern because of the lack of financing to fuel their appetite to continue to develop and construct their project which chances are were acquired at higher values and injected with higher construction costs of labor and materials during the hay-days of the real estate boom. On the other hand, the collapse of the real estate market has brought opportunities to acquire, develop and construct commercial and residential projects at a costs basis, not seen since the late 1970s to early 1980s. Combining a lower land basis for acquisition on land with lower direct and indirect development and construction costs, provides a tremendous opportunity to “pencil” a commercial and residential developer’s end-state in today’s market environment. That is, whether a lower lease opportunity in the commercial arena for big box tenants or a small to medium size business in a Class A building or an affordable housing opportunity for a homebuyer, commercial and residential real estate companies can re-set their business model at attractive rates and pricing of their products.

The underlying issues for both situations has been access to capital providers who have access to the appropriate conventional and alternative funding a commercial or residential real estate company is searching. In today’s market, finding a centralized funding environment is key to the success of commercial and residential development companies. The days of “word of mouth” are slim to say the least. Many of those capital funding providers have also gone belly-up like many real esate development companies because of the past real estate investments that were made by those funding sources. Today, time is of the essence for real estate developers to identify key sources.
