NEW! LENDER FINANCING AND WORKOUTS IN 2010

Current media comments about the state of commercial real estate markets calls for a careful review of our concepts of prices and market value. We caution commercial property lenders not to under-value their loan portfolios, especially as these issues affect retail property. In spite of the downturn in prices during 2009, commercial property values have sustained an average 4% annual increase since 1999. That's a 44% net gain in value.
