The relationship of a Commercial Real Estate’s Cap Rate and a Federal Reserve’s 10-Year Treasury Rate

September 18, 2015July 21, 2018 dajkgroup art collector, asset management, Business Consultant, business entity, business finance, business owner, Entrepreneur, finance, interior designer, investment, investor, net lease, NNN CRE, real estate Art Collector, Art loan, Asset based finance, Business Consultant, business entities, business incomes, business owner, commercial real estate acquisition, creative finance

Commercial Real Estate’s Cap Rate is average 436 bps over 20 years reference to Federal Reserve’s 10-Year Treasury Rate. In fact, its average from 1990 to 2000 is 450 bps and its average from 2002 to 2015 is 425 bps.

Transactions in 2015 are on course to exceed pre-recession peak levels, and most property sectors continue to see inflows of equity and disciplined underwriting by debt providers. With positive economic trends lifting gauges of property performance, commercial real estate remains a favored asset class on a risk-adjusted basis.

Another words, the sophisticate and savvy CRE’s investor are studying and analyzing carefully its Federal Reserve’s 10-Year Treasury Rate in order to make an informed decision on his next acquisition. It would help reduce his risk significantly.

Commercial property sectors continue to perform well amid this extended period of low interest rates and the Federal Reserve’s decision will not disrupt property performance

The Federal Reserve opted Thursday 9/17/15 to maintain its benchmark lending rate at or near zero percent. While acknowledging that the U.S. labor market continues to improve, the central bank also heeded softer conditions in foreign economies in reaching its decision to defer the first hike in the Federal Funds rate in approximately nine years. Fed Chair Janet Yellen and voting members of the policy committee will proceed cautiously, monitoring for contagion risks from other countries that could adversely affect U.S. economic performance.

The Fed’s next opportunity to take up the rate hike question comes at its meeting next month, but it may wait until December to act. Until the next meeting, the Fed will scrutinize incoming data on economic momentum, inflation trends, and international volatility. Mortgage spreads widened during the summer in anticipation of a rate increase, and little appreciable effect on spreads is likely to occur in the near term.

The central bank’s decision to hold will likely spark a new round of questions about the strength of the U.S. economy in spite of relatively strong underlying fundamentals. Through August, the labor market had added an average of 212,000 jobs per month, an amount less than the pace set in 2014 but sufficient to support a forecast of 2.7 million positions this year. Factors weighing on the U.S. economy, however, include soft exports stemming from the strong U.S. dollar and anemic inflation principally related to low gas prices. Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy, rose only 1.8 percent year over year, below the Fed’s target threshold of 2.0 percent.

Commercial property sectors continue to perform well amid this extended period of low interest rates and the Federal Reserve’s decision will not disrupt property performance. With job growth generating new commercial space demand that dramatically outpaces construction levels, vacancy in the primary property segments remains on track to decline this year and support additional rent gains. Apartment construction has ramped up, but favorable demographic trends and challenging conditions for first-time homebuyers will continue to sustain extremely low vacancy in the multifamily sector.

Low-interest rates, steady performance gains, and competitive yields are supporting investment in a wide array of commercial properties. Transactions in 2015 are on course to exceed pre-recession peak levels, and most property sectors continue to see inflows of equity and disciplined underwriting by debt providers. With positive economic trends lifting gauges of property performance, commercial real estate remains a favored asset class on a risk-adjusted basis.

Net Lease’s Sale leaseback and Built-to-Suit Strategy

Net Lease’s Sale-leaseback and Built-to-Suit Strategy

The growing business who owns real estate can raise an inexpensive working capital and/or debt reduction with Net Lease’s Sale-leaseback and Built-to-Suit Strategy.

Sale-Leaseback Strategy

Sale-leaseback strategy is a form of financing in which a company sells its real estate for cash and simultaneously signs a long-term lease with the buyer. Sale-leaseback transactions provide the lessee company with a source of capital that is an alternative to other financing sources such as corporate borrowing, mortgaging real property or selling shares of common stock.

A Seller/Tenant is able to convert the value of real estate assets into working capital it can use to:

Pay-down debt
Fund acquisitions
Reinvest in the core competencies of its business

Build-to-Suit Strategy

Through build-to-suit strategy, Investor/Lender (“Investor”) provides a growing company with the funding for the expansion of an existing facility or the construction of a new facility in a different location. Investor can source, facilitate, arrange, structure and close the build-to-suit transaction.

The build-to-suit provides innovative financing for:

Expanding existing facilities/constructing new facilities
Debt reductions
Mergers & acquisitions
Leveraged/management buyouts
Corporate restructuring/exit financing
Acquiring addition facilities, technology, and equipment to grow business
Transition out of a synthetic lease, mortgage or other binding debt instruments
Matching long-term assets with long-term liabilities

Case Study: WPC’s Key Facts of Net Lease’s Sale-leaseback and Built-to-Suit Strategy

W. P. Carey Inc. announces that it has acquired a portfolio of three truck and bus servicing facilities for approximately $42.9 million. The facilities, two in Germany and one in Austria, were purchased from the developer and are net leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of MAN SE for a period of 15 years. (PRNewsFoto/W. P. Carey Inc.)

Well-established, industry-leading tenant: The MAN Group is one of Europe’s leading producers of commercial vehicles, engines and mechanical engineering equipment. It is a publicly traded company with a market capitalization of approximately $15 billion and is 75% owned by German automotive group Volkswagen AG.
Critical, well-located facilities: The three facilities, originally built to tenant specifications, are among the largest service stations operated by the MAN Group and serve as an important sales driver for its 24/7 fleet repair and maintenance servicing operations. Located on arterial routes, the facilities benefit from the high commercial traffic flow that connects several major German and Austrian cities and links Europe’s eastern and western markets.
Long-term net leases with built-in rent growth: All three facilities are net leased, with a remaining term of approximately 15 years and CPI-based rent escalations.

Reference: NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: WPC), a real estate investment trust specializing in corporate sale-leaseback and build-to-suit financing, and the acquisition of single-tenant net lease properties, announced today that it has acquired a portfolio of three modern truck and bus servicing facilities for approximately $42.9 million (€38.9 million). The facilities — two in Germany and one in Austria — were purchased from the developer, Wohnungsunternehmen Semmelhaack, and are net leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of MAN SE (The MAN Group).

Net Lease Investor’s Options and/or Alternatives

August 11, 2015July 21, 2018 dajkgroup asset management, Business Consultant, Entrepreneur, investor, net lease, NNN CRE, real estate Business Consultant, business incomes, business owner, commercial real estate acquisition, entrepreneur, investment, investor, net lease, Net lease Buyer, NNN CRE

Net lease investor’s objective is:

1) his target CAP rate;

2) with high or with the lowest net lease management fee.

There is a San Diego-based Net Lease Management.

http://netleasedmanagement.com/

“Net Leased Management is a cost-effective administrative and management support solution for net-leased property owners. For a small monthly fee, Net Leased Management provides accounting services, monthly financial reporting, lease administration, property-tax compliance and insurance compliance; handles any landlord obligations; and conducts site visits as needed. We also provide access to a master insurance policy for investors to capitalize on bulk pricing and increased limits.”

[Full article…]

Please note a Higher CAP rate is higher the risk and more involvement with property management.

Is there any alternative without paying fee or paying the lowest to net lease management?

Yes, I highly recommend all our clients/investor to select only a true triple net lease or an absolute NNN lease.

The more fees investor is paying for a third party; his return of investment would be reduced proportionally as well.

In fact, different net lease investor has different investment objectives. My task is providing all options both pros and cons and both advantages and disadvantages.

Strategically, when the net lease investor combines with his high taxable income with his net lease investment, it would be a greater benefit for him in a long-term investment.

This strategy would accomplish reducing taxable liability: converting his short term to long term gain which in turn will be taxed at the lowest tax bracket, his fixed income from lease revenue is a passive income to an investor. [Learn more…]

I would inform all my clients about these options and they need to decide how they would like to proceed.

Net Lease Case Study: Kevin OLeary’s O’Shares ETF versus Net Lease Strategy

July 14, 2015July 22, 2018 dajkgroup asset management, Business Consultant, business finance, business owner, Entrepreneur, finance, investment, investor, net lease, NNN CRE, real estate Business Consultant, business owner, commercial real estate acquisition, creative finance, Dollar General, entrepreneur, Net lease Buyer, NNN Investor

Exchange Traded Fund Definition

An ETF, or exchange traded fund, is a marketable security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets like an index fund. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual fund shares, making them an attractive alternative for individual investors.

Because it trades like a stock, an ETF does not have its net asset value (NAV) calculated once at the end of every day like a mutual fund does.

Kevin O’Leary’ OShares

After she died I became the executor of her estate and for the first time saw the results of 50 years of investing in only dividend paying stocks. Her returns were stunning. She was not a financial advisor but she believed in the principle that you should get paid while you wait. To her a stock that did not pay a dividend was simply a speculation not an investment because you could only make money if the stock went up. Dividends assured her of income and she would only spend that.

Seeing the results of her philosophy changed my mind about investing forever. I did some research. Did you know that over the last 40 years over 70% of the markets return came from dividends, not capital appreciation? That settled it for me, today I never invest in stocks that don’t pay dividends.

Our Net Lease Strategy has 4 similar characteristics and 4 distinct and unique advantages over dividend paying stocks

Our comments on 7/14/15 14:15 PST

Mr. O’Leary,

Thank you for sharing your story regarding your mother’s investment philosophy.

Investor only requires to master few investment principles/strategies so that he can invest money on his own without a financial advisor. Of course, he needs to a) search and select right dividend paying stocks; 2) strategize for a long term objective is 40 to 50 years.

A similarity with your mother’s investment philosophy, our Net Lease Strategy has 4 similar characteristics and 4 distinct and unique advantages over dividend-paying stocks.

The investor in Net Lease property (“Net Lease” or ”NNN”) also requires to master top six (6) net lease terms.
The investor also requires to research, analyze, due diligence and review his acquisition. Since lease agreement is guaranteed by a tenant, therefore, tenant’s net worth must be at $US 100+ million in last 12 months. For example, it describes in details in Case Study Family Dollar.
The investor in Net Lease also receives his monthly fixed income, called capitalization rate or short for CAP rate or just CAP. In fact, if net lease properties cannot pay CAP (positive cash flow at closing), it just a speculation.
The investor in Net Lease property understands and seeks for long-term investment objective. It is a minimum of 5 years for Net Lease.
Investor’s monthly income is a passive income, which taxed at lower tax rate than the earn income.
The investor in NNN can leverage using mortgages or OPM if he wants to. This is a great option.
The investor in Net Lease can purchase insurance against his underlined net lease property. This is a requirement for protecting his funds. In contrast, you cannot buy insurance against dividend-paying stocks.
The investor in NNN has full control of his investment. He can re-fi with cash out, cross collateral, sell and lease back or SLB, sell with seller finance or wrap-mortgage.

Additional of the net lease can be found at http://www.dajkgroup.com/net-lease-investment.html. It is including case studies and our monthly selections.

Your Shark Tank’s episodes are always enjoyable, entertaining and packed of valuable investment strategy and creative structured finance.

Thank you for your time, Kind regards
