Commercial Lending Successes and News for February 2020

Good morning to Spring days of warming weather;

May the season of rain continue, our aquifers be recharged and lakes refilled full. Not much on the horizon, thought still early.

A bit of a break this month. I am preparing for a few fun days with the snow, before preparing the bee business for a new Spring of Almond pollination.

Our mortgage work – with the great help of our associates – continues strong. Another year in continued economic strength, allows for increasingly more small business expansion.

What to watch in 2020 – Unintended Consequences

Rent control is one such an event. Instead of helping housing, it actually leads to fewer available rentals. Politics of ideology vs the pragmatic realities of supply and demand.

Another is the emotional game of minimum wage standards, along with the negative impact of W-2 vs 1099 employee – Bill AB 5. For both, the assumption – without evidence – is small businesses can: absorb the added expense, remain profitable, not cut employee hours, and remain open for business. History says unlikely, while the politics of big money say, we don’t care. Look for softening in smaller retail centers and small scale commercial operations.

Last, the ‘Save our Schools’ bill: This is little more than a renewed run at unwinding our much beloved property protections – Proposition 13. It begins with major commercial owners with the un-intended consequences, that all, many of them small family owned, commercial buildings – owned for many years – will suffer drastic increases in property tax. This dramatic cost increase will have be passed on to tenants, who then pass them on consumers, as higher prices. When this fails to generate enough revenues to save anything, they will move onto residential homes. WE all lose, we lose on every level, and no one is held accountable. Vote wisely for small business.
