Top 20 Real Estate Markets Home Value Changes Over Past Year
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The housing market is on the radar screen with the amount of change that occurred in home sales and pricing. What is interesting is that only one market, Detroit, has hit double digits in pricing year over year. When the market was zooming up, many of these markets were hitting double digits on the positive side.
Seattle is leading the list with a 9 percent increase year over year with Charlotte coming close at 7 percent. While these numbers are of sales dollars the other part of the equation is that the sales volume. Sales volume in almost all of these markets is down double digits. What the question that will be on everyones mind is, are these numbers going to hold up while the inventory continues to increase. or will pricing drop in tandem with inventory increasing.

Commercial Real Estate investing continues to be a solid enterprise for my clients in Seattle. I am taking the lead with partnerships in Private Equity Lending secured by Commercial Real Estate many of my clients find have higher yields and are more secure. As Wall Street’s tide goes out, I receive emails weekly inquiring about these opportunities of investment.

Private Equity Lending Letter
Since my companies inception almost two years ago we have been successfully funding loans for commercial purposes, and we really like our business.
Our investors enthusiastically approach our business model, and our brokers, realtors and borrowers have found our financial resources and ease of doing business with us to be as some say, “Better than the bank.”
First I’ll give you some examples of loans we have funded and the criteria we use-
1. Owner/user commercial location for a glass conversion business. This borrower had the opportunity to purchase a facility for their business that also allowed a retail enhancement. We closed the loan in less than two weeks, with no appraisal, no environmental, and now we’re re-financing the borrower into an institutional lender’s portfolio.
2. Land acquisition for home building. We just completed this transaction with some very market savvy developers. We were able to use the subject property and additional real property for collateral to fund this transaction.
3. Short term commercial cash flow loan. These are the meat and potatoes of our business. We have the ability to take a first or second lien on one or more properties usually without appraisal, to make capital available to investors for real estate, business acquisition, capital improvements, inventory, and expansion.
4. Mergers and Acquisitions. Capital Financial, LLC can provide the capital to allow investors and corporate developers to finalize business transactions quickly without utilizing capital offerings which can dilute the equity positions of the principals.
We have the capital and flexibility to provide capital for you when you need it.
Our clients have come to recognize Capital Financial, LLC as a great resource for fast and easy short or mid-term financing for commercial purpose loans.
If you are an Attorney, Realtor, Mortgage Broker, Banker, or Mergers and Acquisition specialist you probably have a need for capital for your clients.
If you are an investor, we put investment partnerships together, please contact us for details.
And finally, if you’re an entrepreneur, or someone that has an investment group, especially now that so many of our clients are looking into the ‘short sale’ opportunities that exist, contact us for rates and terms.
