Tampa, FL - Business owners, professionals and brokers should focus on matters within their control, not the state of global financial markets or to predict the time reorganization, "said Jamie Graff, SVP in the real estate investment banking group at Raymond James & Associates Inc.

"Put focus on the fundamentals of your business, "said Graff. "You should remember in these times there is a chance to make history The match was actually change of wealth. "

However, Graff maintains the housing market is essential for a rebound.

"This crisis has begun and will end with house prices, "Graff said in the March 3 meeting of Commercial Real Estate Women Tampa Bay. A panel of Graff, Ben Wacksman Capital Realty Investors LLC and David Sobelman of Calkain Cos Inc. Discussed the economy and industry of commercial real estate.

The local market and housing has declined slowly over many months, Graff said. When prices are low enough, the market starts to recover.

Graff accepts the theory of economist Robert Schiller, the median house price should be about 2.8 times the annual household median income. Locally, this means that house prices should fall by about another 20 percent said Graff.

"When we come reduce the sustainable price points, inventory home can clear and the general economy can begin to recover, "said Graff. spiral unproductive

The economy is caught in a vicious circle, Graff said, noting the housing and consumption as examples.

As home prices fall, banks' losses increase, which means less capital available for loans if fewer people are able to buy house prices fall further, "he said.

The same is true for consumption: people like to eat or buy less, revenue falls in the businesses, lower income and people lose their jobs. Chuter consumption more.

As for determining commercial property values, there is too much uncertainty, "said Wacksman, president of Realty Capital.

"There are so many moving parts in this situation," Wacksman said. "It is difficult to determine when markets will turn around when the lease rates will actually stabilize and increase and whether employers will be able to stay in business.

Add to that the problems with capital markets. Without sufficient debt ratios value (over 60 per cent currently observed), commercial investment real estate are not as attractive, Wacksman said.

"Funding Not available for a model agreement, "said Wacksman, whose company has sold most of its properties to a New York company private equity in 2007.

Moderator Penny Hulbert, director of financial ties LLC, asked if it is true that there are a lot of money button waiting to invest.

Currently, there are two types of buyers, Graff said. Those looking for properties that generate positive cash flows and hedge funds looking for opportunistic sellers in distress.

For most, large and small businesses, large and small real estate investment trusts and other companies focus on internal operations, not to acquire more properties, Graff said. With the scarcity of capital, firms seek to keep their money.

"No matter what their industry, they seek to repair their own balance sheet and ensure that their own house is in order, "said Graff.

As for opportunistic investors, Graff said there are a lot of money on the sidelines. "I hope to encourage everyone not to take it."

When it comes to acquisitions, Wacksman said he is waiting for the market to indicate where it goes.

A "fear factor" is the decision of investors to bid, he said.

"We see a sort of stabilization," said Wacksman. Sobelman, EVP Calkain said the buoyant real estate generated by private equity funds that have been acquiring companies and spinning off real estate to generate income has disappeared.
