1031 Exchanges Coming Back in Silicon Valley

For the last couple years, the volume of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges was very low in comparison to the last decade.  There is now a resurgence in the amount of 1031 exchanges being opened and completed in the last 6 months.  A typical 1031 exchange was of a single family home that was used as a rental property.  This home had a few hundred thousand dollars in equity and was being sold to trade up into a single tenant NNN investment - less hassles, less tenants, more cash flow.  When the single family home market drop starting in 2007, the equity in these rental properties dropped off and an exchange was no longer warranted.
Now, some 2 years after Silicon Valley's bottom (March 2009), equities are coming back and there is now a renewed need for the 1031.  Also, some investors who bought at the bottom in 2009 and 2010, are looking at newly created equity which also suggests rolling equities to a new property via the 1031.
The rules have not changed much and are still very favorable for an investor to leverage his equity into a new investment property, while deferring capital gains taxes.

Needed: Officeless Sand Hill Venture Capitalist

There are few opportunities in commercial real estate on the Peninsula to take advantage of these days.  Yes, the national news in office, retail and hospitality is depressing.  But, we know different in the heart of Silicon Valley.  Office vacancies are bearable here, in fact, some major employers are taking massive space - Apple and Facebook to mention just two.
Retail is healthy on the Peninsula - low unemployment and healthy salaries support retail sales and we don't see too much retail turmoil.
Hotels are coming back.  This tends to be more a national issue compared to the more localized retail and office markets.
And the opportunity of the day is an office building adjacent to Sand Hill Road with rare financial distress that would be a great purchase for a venture capital group, law firm, medical group or...?  Stop paying $6 per foot for 1960's era office space and own much better space for less.

Commercial Real Esate San Jose

The commercial real estate market in Silicon Valley / San Jose is healthy - in parts.  We at the MPIRES group are working with retail tenants looking for space, office users, landlords leasing commercial properties and investors looking to buy retail, office and multi-family properties.  Overall, the San Jose metro is far healthier than the rest of California or the nation.

In core retail areas with good demographics, retailers are looking to occupy spaces to engage with the household incomes that surround the buildings.  Office users such as the many high tech companies that built the valley are looking to take space for future or immediate expansions.  Companies that support or are off-shoots of the big players (Apple, HP, Cisco, etc) are also looking to take space near their suppliers and customers.

Residential rents are up for a variety of factors (the rash of foreclosures, lack of good first time home buyer financing and an influx of new hires into the area).  This makes valuations on apartment buildings not very attractive to investors.  But they are great cash flow vehicles for the existing landlords.  Though, there are some very good opportunities in single unit rentals up to 4plex properties.

The commercial real estate market in Silicon Valley / San Jose has had its movements over the last few years.  We are here to guide you in whatever goal you want to achieve.

Case-Shiller Index of Housing Prices - Double Dip?

The headlines today about the Case-Shiller Housing Index do not reflect what is going on in the Silicon Valley market.  Read the data from the actual Case-Schiller tables via this link. The bottom of the single family housing market for Santa Clara County is essentially March 2009.  The data that was released today is about March 2011 - the Index has a two month lag time so that the data can be compiled. Seasonally adjusted index for the San Francisco region is 134, compared to two years ago of 121. We are significantly positive over the last two years.  Also, consider that the data is for the SFO region which takes into account some more severely impacted areas of the East Bay.  If the data were strictly for Santa Clara County, the numbers would be even better.
Now this is not necessarily a rah rah of the Valley - when considering a purchase or a sale of real estate, we want to take into account all the possible factors - it's not just about price!

Do You Need to Sell Short?

There are many alternatives to someone who owns a home and cannot make their payments.  One of the options is to request a short sale from the bank.  Some of the other options are bankruptcy, foreclosure, loan modification, refinance, deed in lieu and  more. Everyone's situation is different depending on all factors involved.  A personal residence has certain criteria involved, as does a property held for investment and furthermore, was the loan a purchase money loan or a refinance.  All these factors influence the situation and a solution is not cookie cutter for all.

Many people in the last 5-10 years find themselves owning a home that is now worth less than what they paid for it and possibly less than what is owned on the property.  Others people have loans that have adjusted to payment levels that are unaffordable.  This, coupled with a drop in equity, makes a refinance highly unlikely.  But there are solutions!

Credit is also a concern for many people.  Does a short sale have less negative impact on your FICO score than a foreclosure or a bankruptcy?  But what other factors also impact your credit score?  Late payments compounded month after month will have significant negative effect on your FICO score. This may negate the gravity of a short sale/foreclosure question.

What your home is worth is also a very important factor.   In Santa Clara County alone, there are sub-markets that are very healthy and prices are rising and there are sub-markets that are quite weak.  Your home's value will impact the decision whether to short sell, modify the loan or any of the other options discussed above.

An important step in this process is to sit down with an experienced Realtor to review all your options.  Even if you have received a Notice of Default or a Notice of Trustee Sale, there still may be time to enact a better solution.  Feel free to email  me or call anytime:

Just Listed Home for Sale in Berryessa, San Jose

Office space for lease in Silicon Valley being snapped up

Office space in Silicon Valley is being snapped up, so is retail space. Some of it due to actual need for space, but most for future need & concern over others taking space and a looming space shortage.
Not so long ago (think Dot Com boom), companies were out of luck when looking for work space for their expansions. We were converting industrial warehouses into cube farms to make room. With the large leases of Facebook, Google, Apple and others - the rest of the valley is getting concerned that space may not be so readily available when the next tech wave hits. Already, we are seeing rents rise in compensation to leases being signed.
It's not an issue of whether $1.50 per foot office space is reasonable today, the real question is do you want to pay $2.50 per foot a few years from now - if that is even available.
Our office is located in Cupertino and the Apple expansion is very evident with them taking space in many of the Class A & B buildings in the city.  In our building, LAB 126 (Amazon) who designs the Kindle is in full expansion mode. The center of Silicon Valley is where everyone wants to be and needs to be.  So be prepared to compete for space in the heart of it all the innovation.

Rants About False Recovery in Commercial Real Estate News

Bass Ackwards reliance on "apartment market leads commercial real estate recovery" - apartment values are high-this is true - but because people have been foreclosed on due to loss of jobs, loose financing standards and very low consumer confidence. More tenants in the market does not a recovery make - commercial real estate in almost every other segment is hurting and not recovering - retail tenants are not taking space, office users are not taking space, hotels are very soft - these segments do not tie in with the robust apartment market. And the apartment market is only hot in core areas - not in the vast open spaces where new home developers over built homes and now a 5 year old single family home rents for near what a class A apartment building does in the same area.
We want good news in commercial real estate - but let's look at reality and make better decisions based on that.

Starbucks Commercial Single Tenant NNN Investment in West Los Angeles

I like this deal - it's a single tenant NNN Starbucks in a great area with high household incomes and lots of new condo construction nearby. Excellent west Los Angeles county location. The picture is this morning at 8:00am, the place was very active with commuters grabbing their morning grande latte.

6.5 cap rate for 18 months, then a 7.25 cap rate for the next 5 years. Corporate Starbucks signature on the lease. This is a solid asset, perfect for a 1031 tax-deferred exchange or for a direct investment giving you a 5x multiple return compared to the 1.25% in the local bank CD. Call me for details. This Starbucks NNN deal will go fast.

Single tenant NNN investments, Ecuadorian dwarfs & DaVita Dialysis Centers

What do DaVita Dialysis Centers, a tribe of diminutive people in South America and your 1031 exchange into a single tenant NNN property have in common?

Let me start with this, do you remember buying your plane ticket at your local retail center where your trusted travel agent was located? Yes, it's been a while, perhaps some 15 years since they dominated the landscape of retail spaces. Now, you don't go buy a paper ticket next to the Starbucks, you buy it on your laptop at the Starbucks.

Do you remember the more recent local Blockbuster Video store or Hollywood Video store where you walked in a few times per week to rent your VHS (ok, that's too far back, insert DVD for you youngsters). Now on-demand video and Hulu reign supreme.

Were you at the Howard Hughes Center mall last night in the Border's book store which is having a store closing sale? Why this travesty? Think Amazon, Kindle and Ipad magazine e-scriptions.

Ok Mario, what's the theme here? maybe... Technology kills things!

...and it kills things in relation to your commercial real estate investment.

One of the hot single tenant NNN property classes for sale are the dialysis centers that are popping up all over the map - think DaVita Dialysis as the Kleenex in this category. Hundreds of new DaVita centers are being built in local neighborhoods to service the needs of patients with poorly functioning kidneys typically an effect of long term diabetes disease. The investment concept around the sale of these NNN investments is that the centers will be well frequented by their base of committed customers for decades on out.

I was explaining my understanding of this to my muse Julie this morning in the car and she recalled Ecuadorian dwarfs in South America. (please hang on, there is a circular connection coming soon)

Apparently in the last few days, an article was posted about this tribe in the Andes where the genetic make up of the tribe makes cancer and diabetes virtually non-existent. So, the medical research world has invaded the little tribe to find the medical fountain of youth (or at least the fountain of anti-carcinogen) When (not if) this gene is isolated and when the drug company gets FDA approval, some of these ailments will be eliminated or reduced.

I may be overly focused on my favorite group of people - the commercial investors out there - and my concern is that there may be empty DaVita Dialysis centers on the landscape one day in the future - or at least some renegotiated leases because their business will slide.

Therefore, as a suggestion for your next real estate investment move, stay clear of over-valued NNN deals that may not be the hot investment vehicle of the near future. Instead, consider the basics of coffee, the local Burger King and my favorite - Taco Bell - as a healthy investment alternative. In my opinion, as healthy or not as we seem to be becoming, the US appetite will always crave the Whopper.

Update on Apartment Loans for Bay Area Real Estate Investments

Kari Noomen of Chase Commercial lending spoke to the Bay Area Apartment Brokers Forum last week. Her update included the following rates for apartment loans that she is facilitating through Chase Bank. For an average "B" quality building, the best rates are 5 year fixed at 4.97% with 75% loan to value and qualifying at that rate to a 1.15 DCR (debt coverage ratio). For years in this area, the LTV of 75% was a non-issue since the DCR would cap the amount of loan to a building to 50-60% of the purchase price. Now Kari is actually doing 75% LTV loans because the interest rates are so low. This is a very good time to get solid financing on great apartment assets in the San Jose / Silicon Valley area.
