Remember the interest rate uptick early this summer? Just a hiccup. Lenders held their breath and then got back to commercial real estate deals as eagerly as before­­if not more, experts tell us.

1) The marketâs shrugged off those summer jitters.


The debt markets have maintained a positive tone since Labor Day, and that's going to continue into the next year, Mission Capital Advisors director Gregg Applefield tells us. Banks, flush with cash, are eager to deploy it. (So get friendly with a bank before the holidays so you get on its gift list.) Insurance companies are telling the market they're likely to increase their allocations next year. CMBS has rallied since the summer and continues to experience significant demand in a yield­starved environment.

2) Competition for deals has heated up.

"The number of banks, life companies, and CMBS lenders actively competing to win permanent financing requests has consistently increased month­by­month since the beginning of the year," Talonvest Capital principal Eric Snyder tells us. "I expect that this will continue well into 2014." The deals aren't necessarily vanilla, either. Recently Irvine­based Talonvest oversaw $116M in 10­year loans in the low 5% area secured by self­storage properties in Illinois, Florida, and Georgia. (That's more of a rum raisin deal.) The financing was provided by a New York­based commercial real estate finance company.

3) New players are jumping into the game.

"There's also been an influx of new entrants to the transitional lending market, including credit companies, debt funds, and mortgage REITs, which has driven down spreads materially for transitional properties," Gregg says. Similar to the debt markets, he expects equity markets to continue to remain strong. That's because an abundance
of global capital is eyeing US real estate for some sweet yields, especially when compared to most other investments. Recently Gregg relocated to the company's Newport Beach office, as part of the company's West Coast expansion.

Multifamily Loans Are Hot Commodities

Multifamily loan auctions are all the rage for both GSEs and the private sector, Auction.com EVP and managing director of global commercial real estate Ken Rivkin tells us. The high­quality, seasoned loan portfolios typically come from portfolio lenders rebalancing their portfolios, including depositories, REITs, insurance companies, money managers, and select funds, he says. Irvine­based Auction.com was just tapped to sell 447 performing multifamily loans with an unpaid principal balance of $601.3M. (So the stakes are a little bit higher than bidding on an Iggy Pop bootleg CD on eBay.) The portfolio: 7.5% fixed­, 92.5% floating­rate; and an average current balance of $1.3M. The loans are secured by 465 properties (18,456 units)

in 23 states, with 60% in California and 11% in Texas.

Attractive due to the loans' seasoning, amortizations, and coupons, Ken says, this pool comes online on the heels of Freddie Mac's first multifamily bulk loan sale. The GSE sold 27 performing mortgages (tied to multifamily, student housing, and assisted­living facilities) with an unpaid principal balance of $195M to an affiliate of Colony Capital. Multifamily loans are viewed positively because of the asset class's low volatility, he tells us. Other income­producing properties like office and retail typically have fewer tenants, thus a higher concentration of credit risk from tenant defaults. And for that reason, vacancy spikes are usually less pronounced in apartments due to lack of tenant concentration, Ken explains.

OC Office Market Loses a Little Steam


Orange County office leasing decreased the past several quarters and net absorption was down­­but not negative­­in Q3, with average asking rents remaining stable and actually increasing in certain areas, Transwestern managing SVP Liz Hurley tells us. According to Transwestern's Q3 OC office report, total net absorption for the third quarter was just over 100k SF, the lowest amount since Q1 '12. There are signs of downsizing in the mortgage industry, which, coupled with major move­outs, will contribute to continued decline in net absorption during Q4.

"In the third quarter, Class­A product experienced an increase in asking rents due to the continued flight to quality, which we anticipate should continue through the end of the year," Liz says. (Everybody likes nice things.) Even so, overall market fundamentals will probably improve over the next few years, as the
underlying economy improves, especially through employment growth. Also, the decreasing number of distressed transactions point to an improving sales market. With money cheap, growing companies
are looking hard at buying rather than renting, such as the recent purchase of 1761 E Garry Ave in Santa Ana (pictured) by Partner Engineering and Science. CBRE SVP Michael Kenndall repped the buyer in the deal.

Pleased with the strong buy-side response to its first bulk offering of multi-family mortgages, Freddie Mac plans to roll out more portfolios of seasoned performing loans – but not right away. Mission Capital advised Freddie on the sale, which closed Oct. 3.

More Freddie Portfolio Sales Ahead

Pleased with the strong buy-side response to its first bulk offering of multi-family mortgages, Freddie Mac plans to roll out more portfolios of seasoned performing loans — but not right away.
The recent auction of the $194.8 million portfolio “was not a one-off ” transaction, said Michael Lipson, Freddie’s senior vice president of multi-family asset management and operations.
But the agency will likely wait until next year before sched- uling a second auction of loans from its huge balance sheet. Future sales will be held opportunistically, depending on mar- ket conditions and the agency’s ongoing asset-management strategies, Lipson said — unlike the guaranteed securitizations of newly originated, multi-family mortgages that Freddie floats every few weeks.
Some 23 banks, fund shops and other lenders submitted offers for Freddie’s initial bulk-loan offering, the agency an- nounced this week. After two rounds of bidding, Colony Capital of Santa Monica, Calif., walked away with the entire portfolio, paying roughly 90 cents on the dollar. Mission Capital advised Freddie on the sale, which closed Oct. 3. The mix of fixed- and floating-rate loans was split into two pools. One, with an aggre- gate balance of $171.2 million, consisted of 22 loans on multi- family and student-housing properties totaling 3,811 units. The other contained three loans, adding up to $23.6 million, on assisted-living facilities with a total of 453 beds.
The auction reflected the latest twist in long-running efforts by Freddie and Fannie Mae to comply with a mandate from their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to reduce mortgage holdings. Both agencies have been operating under federal conservatorship since the height of the credit crisis in
2008. Before it could try a bulk loan sale, Freddie had to devel- op procedures and get approval from FHFA. “Now that we have it available as an execution model, we’ll look for opportunities to do it again,” Lipson said.
Freddie currently securitizes more than 95% of its origina- tions in the multi-family sector. The legacy loans sold to Colony were extracted from Freddie’s portfolio of unguaranteed multi-

family mortgages, which stood at $69.4 billion on June 30. That was down from $79.6 billion a year earlier and $85.9 billion at yearend 2010.
Lipson is overseeing the management and gradual disposi- tion of that relatively illiquid portfolio. Most of the reduction so far has been due to amortization and refinancings, he said. Virtually all of the multi-family loans in that balance-sheet portfolio are still performing, with only 0.05% of the overall balance delinquent by at least 60 days at the end of August.
