Real Estate Debt Summary Dislocation in the global real estate and credit markets have presented compelling investment opportunities, as property owners face liquidity issues and loan maturities Real estate debt investments will continue to be attractive because it offers investors excellent risk-adjusted returns, current income, manageable credit risk and predictable duration Life companies and other portfolio lenders are lending again, albeit mostly on high quality, stabilized assets Although many banks indicate they are back in the market, it remains to be seen whether they will make a significant impact given their existing issues. Banks are only lending selectively on high quality assets, require some level of recourse and construction loans are scarce Borrowers, taking the cue, begin to return as well as they seek reasonable financing that was unavailable over the last two years While there has been a discernible increase in the availability of real estate debt capital available to borrowers, there remains a tremendous shortfall in the amount available and the projected amount necessary to refinance maturing debt over the next 4 to 5 years 5
