Today, it’s not hard to find a good deal in commercial real estate; the hard part is getting the deal financed. And securing a commercial mortgage is even more difficult for newer or younger investors.
Traditional funding sources such as banks, Wall Street brokers and Hartford insurance companies have largely taken themselves out of the lending picture. In simple terms; banks just are not lending they way they should be. And any loans they are making are being underwritten much more conservatively.

Commercial real estate investors without perfect credit or loads… Continue reading

As we share information on common clients we service, it’s amazing to see how small this world is and how many Hong Kong based investors own commercial real estate in Hawaii.

Most of us want to get over the difficult phase of starting up a business and opt taking up ‘buying’ as an option. However buying a business is not necessarily a very good idea as compared to a start-up.

In fact, buying a business is dogged by controversy. I have had experience in cyber cafes. I made a mistake of buying one and I regretted… Continue reading
