Exploring New Avenues:
Over the past year, we've witnessed a significant shift in the commercial real estate landscape, especially in underwriting shopping centers. The pursuit of yield has been a challenge, but recent developments in treasuries have opened new doors. With treasury rates falling, we've seized the opportunity to explore existing shopping centers, steering our focus towards potentially lucrative deals.
Capitalizing on Market Trends:
Our weekly meetings have been instrumental in aligning our focus and assessing ongoing deals. The market trends have led us to reconsider multi-tenant retail and apartments, which faced challenges in the aftermath of the recession. However, with cap rates stabilizing and interest rates showing signs of easing, we believe the time is ripe for strategic investments.
Seizing Opportunities:
Driving our strategy is the observation of retail deals transitioning from 8-8.5 cap rates to 9-9.5 cap rates. While this might seem marginally beneficial, the conjunction of favorable real estate and dropping treasuries creates an intriguing opportunity. By securing a deal at a higher cap rate and anticipating further drops in interest rates, we aim to create a substantial spread between purchase cap rates and debt.
Risk-Taking and Strategic Vision:
Acknowledging the uncertainties in the market, we embrace risk with a calculated approach. As interest rates plateau, we anticipate a pause in rate increases and potential future decreases. This outlook informs our strategy to secure properties now, anticipating favorable refinancing options as rates decrease, thereby maximizing returns for our investors.
Spotlight on Upcoming Deals:
In this episode, we share our experiences with ongoing deals, including ventures into existing shopping centers and a promising build-to-suit project in Houston with Calloway Landscape. These ventures exemplify our commitment to identifying unique opportunities and delivering value to our investors.
