Good morning to February;
Back to the Business of Commercial Investing
Along with intermittent rain, we have intermittent updates about CoVid. Suffice it to say, the level of inconsistent / contrasting news interferes with nearly all aspects of our lives. It leaves high levels of inexcusableuncertainties. Uncertainty to commercial lending is much like inflation is to bonds – both not helpful to investors. Amen for low rates.
Stay Strong – Be of Great Courage
Take Full Advantage of Great Rates
Coming in 2021: With the elections over, we are receiving more calls to action. With it, there is growing need and interest in ‘Tax Deferral Consulting’.

SBA Lending: 1) SBA lending continues at full steam, 2) Refinances are allowed, again, and 3) some rates on buildings, starting in the 2’s % !! Good News – Call Today! – Don’t Delay.
Do all you can for your local Small Business
One cannot repeat this enough. WE need them.
Unemployment rate: People love to play with such numbers. Yet, in the end the best working percentage is 10-ish %. What wonders is: If expanded benefits can become a disincentive for a substantial number of people returning to work? It will be quite some time before we see mid-single digits – full employment – again – but it needs to be a first priority.
Special Request: Looking for extra work – not full-time? One of our associated small business companies has openings. People are needed – today – to help at farmers markets and weekend festivals – primarily the Bay area. Join our family of friends and their wonderful children – high school and college age are welcome. It is a great way to enjoy the week and experience the working of a Small Business. Please let me know.
Re-Openings: Vaccines are getting administered and the World Health Organization –WHO – is back-trackingon actual numbers related to CoVid illnesses, specific. These uncertainties, inconsistencies, and perhaps lies – of this data –must stop. In such things, there is no science.
Commercial Refinances: Yes, CoVid is wreaking havoc on our P&L’s. The Good News: Financing continues, albeit a bit more diligence in the quality of paperwork. It is what we do:

In the works:
Apartments and Industrial segments showing good numbers that are strong. News from the CMBS portion of the market: Delinquencies; Hotel dropped 0.2 % to 17.9 % in January, Retail dropped 0.5 % to 10.5 %, Multi-family and Industrial both track under 1 %, with Mixed-Use rounding out at 4.2 %.
