New York Hard Money Loans

2007-11-01T10:15:00.000-07:00

I have had more than a few people ask me lately about hard money lenders. I am no expert in this arena, but I do know a few people who have dealt with private lenders. Most times, a private lender is the seller who ends up carrying a note on a property they are selling. However, there are private individuals and other lenders that specialize in lending money to borrowers who need it quickly, are trying to finance a strange property type or just don't qualify for one reason or another. This is typically what a private or hard money lender does. Here is one source for hard money loans in New York City that I found. I will post more as I find them.

New York is Quiet

2005-12-02T21:22:00.000-08:00

The market in New York City has really been very quiet over the past month or two. We saw a lot of activity when FOMC Chairman, Alan Greenspan, and the gang decided to stay with their "measured pace" of raising interest rates. This has continued until today and the market is quiet because of it. People are uncertain and buying real estate in New York city is no small endeavor. A 10% shift in apartment/home prices here can mean hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. This pales in comparision to places like Binghamton, New York, where the median home price is under $100,000. So, it will be interesting to see how the market fares after the new year is here. I think a lot of people are sitting on the fence right now. Some have jumped in as their desire to purchase a home in NYC outweighs their fears. Or, their fears of further interest rate hikes has compelled them to purchase something as soon as they can. Whatever the case may be, these are uncertain times.

New York City Sales Slow

2005-10-11T10:41:00.000-07:00

A great article this weekend on MSN by Bill Freckenstein who puts the New York and national real estate markets into perspective very well. I think Bill and I would get along very well as there is a hint of sarcasm in his writing and he has clearly been talking to the same kinds of people that I have been over the past year. Most people involved in this real estate market are irrational. I think I will just let Bill tell you about the situation in New York.

Time for a Real New York City MLS?

2005-10-03T20:07:00.000-07:00

Inman News reported today on a lawsuit filed by La La Wang of a company called BrokersNYC. Wang is asserting that the FTC and the State of New York should look into the practices of REBNY, a private group of NYC real estate brokers and other related professionals. Critics including Wang have charged that REBNY is not making enough effort to provide open access and sharing of their real estate listings to other brokers and the public. While we live in an age where computers are used by just about everyone, everyday, REBNY uses a very antiquated and proprietary system. From an outsider's perspective the way things are done in NYC is just plain silly. From a real estate broker's prospective, they are stupid. But, this is how apartment and commercial real estate brokers in most of the country still operate today. It will be fun to see what happens.

NYC Cools Down

2005-09-28T10:34:00.000-07:00

Well, it appears that the heat wave and the real estate craze of 2005 may both be over. I just spoke to a broker in NYC who was telling me how quiet the market has become in the past two weeks. Two weeks ago there was still plenty of activity, offers and new listings. Now that has changed and the real estate market in New York City has become cold. It could be fears of oil prices and how they might affect the US economy or it could be that people finally believe that interest rates are on the rise and that soon enough inflation will become a problem. Whatever the case may be, offers on properties in NYC have slowed down a great deal.

New York Building Owners Help Save Birds

2005-09-20T16:18:00.000-07:00

Apparently upwards of 4,000 migratory birds are killed each year because they collide with buildings whose lights attracted them. In an effort to help save some of these deaths from occuring, New York City building owners and property managers will be turning off lights in buildings above the 40th floor after midnight in the spring and fall months to help prevent collisions. You can read more about New York City building owners efforst to help preserve migratory birds here.

No End in Sight

2005-08-30T09:53:00.000-07:00

There appears to be no end in sight for the NY or other big cities in the US when it comes to prices on residential and commercial real estate. Even though some cities have reported that sales have slowed somewhat, they still are taking place at a feverish pace and prices are still appreciating even though they may not be at double digit per year rates. It is really incredible to see. And, with today's news on the devastation hurricane Katrina has created, interest rates have begun to fall even more. It was only a couple of weeks ago that rates finally appeared to be headed north for a while and that we had seen the bottom as far as rates are concerned. But, that apparently was not the case as the 10 year treasuries are falling to a level near 4% again. Amazing.

Rates on the Rise

2005-08-03T11:59:00.000-07:00

It has been a tough week so far for interest rates. The 10 year treasuries have seen some upward movement and it is currently above 4.32% (the time of this writing). Hmm, it could get interesting here folks. Stay tuned to your favorite New York real estate resource.

New Home Sales Hits New Record

2005-07-27T12:12:00.000-07:00

Sales of new homes soared to an all-time high in June as the red hot housing market kept sizzling. The US Commerce Department reported that single-family home sales jumped to a record annual pace of 1.37 million units in June, up 4% from May.

Another Crazy Real Estate Market

2005-06-21T10:06:00.000-07:00

Well, I thought that San Francisco had the craziest real estate market going. In SF, buyers are told when the seller will be accepting offers, and they then submit an offer package including a purchase contract (with their best offer), a full financial package, loan approval with the property appraisal being the only contingency and in some cases I have heard of them offering their first born (just a joke). But, it appears that New York City is turning into the same, cut-throat type of marketplace. I just read this article on Yahoo! News. Studios are now selling for insane prices as is everything else. It appears that most people have realized these insanely low interest rates will not last forever...and will most likely never return.

Time for Hard Money Loans?

2005-06-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

While long-term interest rates have continued to drop there are still many people who are unable to qualify for loans because of high debt levels, credit issues or the property they are looking to purchase or refinance may not meet certain underwriting guidelines. In these situations there are alternatives and with today's incredibly low long-term rates, hard money loans may be something to look at. Traditionally, hard money loans have high costs of entry (5 to 10 origination points) as well as high interest rate costs. However, today's long-term rates have changed this a bit and now provide attractive interest rates. These loans typically have a higher cost of entry than a traditional loan, but as they say, "nothing is free."

All Eyes on Greenspan

2005-06-07T10:32:00.000-07:00

Our friend and Federal Open Market Committee Chairman Alan Greenspan is scheduled to speak Thursday in front of Congress. All eyes are on Greenspan as many enonomists fear that we are at a point where a recession is imminent. A poor jobs report Friday along with inflation fears, events like the United Airlines pension default and other global economic issues (China) have left the markets unstable this past week. Many fear that the FOMC has lost control and will not be able to keep the US economy from falling into a recession by raising or lowering the Fed Funds Rate.

New York City Real Estate - Stagnant?

2005-06-01T16:43:00.000-07:00

Just spoke to my mother, who is a pretty successful real estate broker who specializes in townhouse sales in New York City. She and her partner work mostly on the listing side of the equation and they currently have four townhouses and multi-family buildings in their inventory. The interesting thing is that they are not really seeing much action on these buildings. Located in very good neighborhoods, the lack of activity is an interesting development at the very least...especially with the recent economic data we have seen. Is this a temporary glitch, or is something bigger at work here?

Fire Island Real Estate - On Fire

2005-05-31T17:30:00.000-07:00

It should come as no surprise that beach real estate sees a big boost when spring and summer roll around...especially when the weather is nice. This week is scheduled to be a warm one here in New York and it is not going to hurt the healthy Fire Island real estate market. With the limited supply of houses, scarce buildable land and close proximity to the city, Fire Island real estate has grown in popularity over the past 5 years. People like real estate mogul, Barbara Corcoran, have purchased summer homes out there. Fire Island differs from the Hamptons and is usually reserved for the beach loving coommunity not the pool and club lovers usually found on the east coast.

New York Relocation

2005-05-24T10:57:00.000-07:00

There are a gazillion "resources" on the web for just about anything you can think of. There is a site that we like, and have linked to from our sidebar, that actually has a good resource area for relocating to any state in the USA. There are links for school disctricts, real estate agents and other things that you might actually be looking for when you are relocating to another state. For instance, their New York relocation page is a good resource for starters. Obviously you are not going to find every piece of information you need about New York, but it is a good place to get your search for help going.

Bikini Realtor Strikes

2005-05-24T10:38:00.000-07:00

In Long Beach, California (the LBC) a Realtor has taken out an ad on a local billboard where she advertises her "real estate services" wearing only a string bikini and with her hand on her bulldog. I think Donald Trump would be proud of her. While many local agents and brokers have expressed their discontent with her "lack of professionalism" you have to applaud her for being creative. I say, whatever gets the phone to ring. The company she works for has reported a 400% increase in website hits since the billboard was put up. Only in America.

New York Real Estate Heats Back Up

2005-05-21T23:51:00.000-07:00

After a couple of months of so-so activity in New York City, things have seemed to pick back up in the last two to three weeks. This could be due to people's expectations that Chairman Greenspan and the rest of the Federal Open Market Committee were going to become more aggressive with the raising of the Federal Funds Rate. While they have become more aggressive, it appears that the markets may have expected this and in fact the opposite of what people expected took place. Rates actually ended up falling recently as the 10 year T-Bill fell to close at a 4.12% yield on Friday. I can honestly say that I did not see this happenening and given the recent statements by Alan Greenspan, I thought we were in for some rough times. I guess that you never really know what is going to happen.

Leading Economic Indicators Report

2005-05-19T08:58:00.000-07:00

Looks like another bad outlook report from the Leading Economic Indicators Report out this morning. For the fourth straight month the LEI report index has been down. This is a report that predicts leading economic segments of the US economy 4 to 6 months out. This coupled with the Treasury Secretary's comments on China's currency issues and their purchasing of US bonds keeping interest rates artificially low in the US and the FOMC not being able to control interest rates could spell real trouble for the US economy. Maybe the hard-line Republican and Democratic economic policies are really incompatible?

Lumbar Pain?

2005-05-04T16:45:00.000-07:00

Just came across a cool lower back stretch tool over at a website called 2Jay. It looks like they just review products of all kinds over there, and being one who can suffer after a long day from lower back pain, I picked up one of these http://www.2jay.com/sporting/Lumbar-Extender.html. Looks like a pretty simple and comfortable way to stretch out your back.

Interest Rate Madness

2005-05-03T15:32:00.000-07:00

Well, it appears that the markets don't want to listen to Alan Greenspan or the rest of the Federal Open Market Committee about the state of affairs in the US economy, inflation or with regard to borrowing. The 10 year Treasury note has been falling again and that means that rates you and I see at the bank will be falling again. This is contrary to what Greenspan and the rest of the crew over at the Fed were hoping to see. I guess that expectations are really the biggest driving force in the American economy today as the real estate market and Treasury markets have been steadily moving away from reason over the past year or two. I have heard a few people liken the current economic conditions to the "Dot Com" boom of the early '90s...ripe for a bust. But, with the markets largely ignoring the Fed, what will this spell for the US economy and the people in it? Only time will tell. I for one was thinking that things like hard money loans and other "alternative" sources of real estate financing would be picking up soon as traditional soures of funding tighten up. But, with the Treasury market declining, rates will likely remain low unless the Fed decides to do something drastic next time they step up to the plate.

Rates to Head North

2005-04-13T17:51:00.000-07:00

Well, it appears that Mr. Alan Greenspan may be taking his head out from under his desk and paying attention to what the economy is dealing with these days. With prices on everything from Milk to Gas to real estate through the roof, inflation has finally been address as a serious concern for two straight speeches by the Federal Open Market Committee Chairman. Now there is talk of raising the Fed Funds Rate by a half a point at a time to help keep inflation in check. Obviously the lay person does not listen to much of what Alan Greenspan has to say. It will be interesting to see how the higher end markets like New York City will fair during these interest rate hikes.

Yeshiva University - New York

2005-03-28T17:25:00.000-08:00

There is plenty of everything in New York and schools and Universities are no different. However, one of the schools that most people around the country have not heard of is Yeshiva University. Yeshiva, as it may sound to some, is a Jewish University located in New York City. Yeshiva has a strong business school as well as Law School and other doctorate level programs that cannont be found at other, larger Universities. Yeshiva is a private school and the class sizes found there are typically much smaller than a state sponsored University. So, if you are thinking about a post bachelor degree program and New York is where you want to be, check out Yeshiva University.

New York County New Building Permits

2005-03-14T14:04:00.000-08:00

Well, it seems like there are some optimistic developers in New York City these days. Year to year data on the number of new building permits issued this January indicates that 6 new building permits for a total of 437 units were issued this January versus January of 2004 when only 3 permits were issued for a total of 85 units. This could be a function of the relatively low cost of capital, but with interest rate hikes sure to follow this year and much uncertainty of how strong this job market really is, I would not want to be holding the bag on one of these buildings. Of course, markets like New York City will typically see less volatility in housing prices due to the large local population and economy. I guess as the saying goes, "bet big, win big." We'll see.

New York Market Cools Off

2005-03-07T19:42:00.000-08:00

It was really just a matter of time. Perhaps the flurry of activity in the New York real estate market was attibutable to the certainty that our friend Mr. Greenspan was going to raise the Fed Funds Rate. The funny thing is, this has had little effect on interest rates when it comes to real estate. But, we will touch on that another time. The bottom line is, the New York City real estate market is very quiet lately. I think that we are starting to see some uncertainty from investors and home buyers alike with regards to real estate prices and the economy in general. Or, it is possible that everyone decided to take a month or two off, and not buy anything. But, I think it is probably the former that we will soon find is true.

Fire Island Real Estate

2005-02-09T16:14:00.000-08:00

When it comes to states with great beaches, most people would not think of New York. New York is actually home to some of the best beaches in the USA. My favorite happens to be on the barrier beach called Fire Island. Fire Island is a strip of sand off the south shore of Long Island, New York. Named that way because pirates used to lure merchant ships to the island by lighting fires on the beaches at night. The unsuspecting captains would run aground on the shallow sandbars and then find their ship looted by the pirates.

The most amazing part about Fire Island is the fact that it is only 45 minutes by train from New York City. After a quick and relaxing ferry ride from there, you find yourself in one of the most relaxing settings anywhere on earth. So, if you are looking for a summer home or a great place to vacation, you should check out what Fire Island has to offer.

New York Real Estate

2005-02-07T17:47:00.000-08:00

Well, what is going on in the New York real estate market today? It appears that things are cooling off. Is this because of the cold temperatures...maybe. Is it because Alan Greenspan and the Fed decided they were going to raise the Fed Funds Rate a bit to help keep inflation in check (what a joke this is)? I don't think so. Is it because the economy in the United States is really not doing as well as all of the economic numbers the White House puts out are really not an accurate depiction of what the economy is doing? Possibly. The answer to all of these questions is, nobody knows. I for one feel that the Fed and other economists have done the American people a great dis-service by keeping interest rates as low as they have over the past 2 years. I believe that the natural market forces would have interest rates a couple of hundred basis points (a couple of percentage points) above where they now stand. This would be a natural reaction to the crazy real estate prices, gasoline prices, staple food prices (milk, beef, etc.) and other domestic necessities that have seen incredible price run-ups over the past few years. Why is it that the government and leading economists keep saying that inflation is not a problem and that the economy is doing great? I have no idea. All I can say is, that I feel that when trouble hits, it is going to be 10 times as ugly as it would have been had interest rates been allowed to rise gradually when they should have.

So, I am not sure what is going on in New York right now. It is possible that the population of real estate buyers able to afford homes in the city is getting smaller. It is possible that expectations are changing and people are no longer comfortable with the current conditions or their financial position. Whatever the case may be, the real estate market is quite slow right now.

Modern Real Estate Practice in New York

2005-01-31T16:04:00.000-08:00

If you are planning on obtaining your New York State real estate license, you will need to fulfill a few requirements laid out by the NY Department of real estate. Just about every school we have heard of, uses one textbook to teach the principles of practicing real estate in New York. That book is Modern Real Estate Practice in New York by Edith Lank. While it may not be the easiest book to read, Modern Real Estate Prectice does cover everything you will need to know to pass your state examination.

Crewed Yacht Charters

The crewed yacht charter business is booming and you have hundreds of luxury yachts and sailboats to choose from all over the world. Places like the Carribean, Greece, Turkey and the British Virgin Islands are all places where crewed yacht charters are available year round. So, next time you are looking to spend a vacation someplace new, try chartering a boat.

NYC Bloggers

2005-01-17T22:10:00.000-08:00

Just found a pretty cool site for New York City bloggers. Probably one of the cooler website concepts I have seen in a while, they organize the blogs in the Big Apple by their closest subway line and stop. I singed up to get this blog listed, we'll see how it goes.

Dow Loses Over 1% Today

2005-01-13T15:25:00.000-08:00

Thursday, January 13, 2005

The Dow Jones Industrial Average index fell by over 1% today on fears of higher energy costs negatively affecting corporate earnings as well as some DOW component stocks missing their earnings expectations. Companies like General Motors and SUN Microsystems were the leading causes of the biggest drop in the DOW in 2005. The question is going to be, how much of an effect rising energy costs will have on corporations and the economy as a whole. Personally, I don't see how inflation has not become one of the hottest topics in economics today. But, then again, I thought the California real estate market was going to drop when interest rates ticked up last time the Fed met. Go figure.

Ruth Golod Named to 2004 Multi-Million Dollar Club

2005-01-12T17:02:00.000-08:00

Jannuary 11th, 2005 - Ruth Golod is named to the 2004 Multi-Million Dollar Club at New York City's Corcoran Group. The Corcoran Group is New York City's premier residential real estate brokerage. With offices on the east and west side of Manhattan as well as on the eastern end of Long Island, the Corcoran Group has become synonymous with high end real estate in New York and the Hamptons. Ruth Golod was also named Vice President on January 11th, 2005 as she and her partner continue to meet and exceed the needs of their townhouse clientelle.

Barrett .50 Caliber Gun Tested by NYPD

2005-01-10T21:33:00.000-08:00

I was watching 60 minutes last night and their piece on the Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle that was available in all 50 states until last week. Governor Schwartzehaeger of California (if you don't know already), banned the .50 caliber gun sighting fear from terrorist attacks. 60 minutes was aided in their story by the New York police department to show the power of this gun. The rifle can shoot with an effective range of over a mile...yes, over a mile. But, the scary thing is, that at 300 yards, they NYPD showed that it had no difficulty piercing a 1/2 inch thick piece of plate steel. It was pretty incredible. If you get a chance, watch that 60 minutes episode.

300 East 33rd Street, Manhattan

2005-01-09T22:49:00.000-08:00

Douglas Elliman has recently listed a spacious one bedroom for sale at 300 E. 33rd St. Murray Hill is one of the hottest areas on Manhattan these days. Here is what they had to say about the apartment: "Finally a one bedroom that is even bigger and better than it appears in pictures on the web! The flexibility of the layout and size of the rooms will accommodate different living style needs. The kitchen has been renovated with top of the line appliances & finishes and has great storage and counter space. The bath has also been renovated with the best fixtures and finishes."

Archane MLS in NYC?

2004-12-22T13:44:00.000-08:00

Isn't it time for a real MLS system in New York City already? It is really quite funny how some things have remained intact in the glorious state of New York. For example, in most states, there is no need for lawyers to be involved in real estate transactions to draft, "one off" contracts (which is a joke since any lawyer will tell you that they just re-use most of some other contract) for every real estate deal. The whole process of going back and forth between lawyers to knit pick the smallest details is quite comical. But, the most ridiculous system in New York real estate has to be the lack of a real Multiple Listing System in New York City. Updating listings among cooperating brokerages and calling your company's listing office to find out what is available is completely stupid and is contrary to the very principles our Republic is based on. Free market economies operate on the principle of freedom: freedom of information. If all buyers do not have access to your property, then you are certainly not exposing it to everyone possible and probably not getting the highest price possible. So, who does this archaic system benefit? Hmmm, let me see...

$34 Million Townhouse Anyone?

2004-12-16T21:03:00.000-08:00

Well, there comes a time, when you have to settle down...and, why not do it in style. I always told myself I could live in New York City full time, if I just had the right place to live. Well, how about a $34 Million home like this one on Madison Avenue? It really is a nice looking place and I am sure I can fit all of my furniture in it. The only drawback is the $258,489 in property taxes I would have to pay on it every year. Do I get a free ice cream cone with that?

Foreign Investment - Good or Bad

2004-12-13T14:00:00.000-08:00

Friday, the New York Times reported that foreign real estate investment in the United States is at an all time high. "Spurred in part by a weak dollar foreign investment in U.S. real estate has soared in the last two years. Foreign investment rose 59% in 2003 to $385 million and is expected to increase another 11.9% in 2004 to reach $431 million, according to the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate, based in Washington" (NYTimes, 12/10/04 "Tower Of Babel: Foreign Interest In US Real Estate Soars").

This lead me to ask myself if this is a good thing or a bad thing. US products and services have never been more affordable for foreign consumers. But, what if anything are they buying? Sounds like US real estate is what. Now, I am no protectionist, but I am not sure this is the best thing for the United States. Running record budget deficits and with no clear end to higher spending and lowering of taxes...I just don't feel confident as to where the US economy is heading. Reminds me of the days when Art Laffer was calling the shots. GWB's daddy called it Voodoo economics and then hopped on board. Well, sounds like daddy was right and we have a serious problem on our hands.

Eliot Spitzer to Run for New York Governor

2004-12-08T09:20:00.000-08:00

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer officially declared Tuesday what many New York political insiders have suspected for months, that he will be a Democratic candidate for governor in 2006.

Spitzer, 45, told the New York Daily News the "twin pillars" of his campaign will be his push to make state government more accountable and his quest to help New York's private sector "thrive."

"We cannot continue to be the most taxed and indebted state in the nation," Spitzer said. And, in true political candidate form, danced around the issue of how he proposes to pay for needed improvements in public schools in the state of New York. "That will be a decision I will have to confer with my client (Gov. George Pataki) on," Spitzer remarked when he was asked how the state should respond to last week's court directive to increase education aid by $23 billion over the next five years.

Should be an interesting race this time around. :)

307 East 51st Street Under Contract

2004-12-07T10:51:00.000-08:00

307 East 51st Street, located near 51st and Second Ave., is a 10 room townhouse on Manhattan's east side. Centrally located on 51st, with easy access to the FDR, 59th St. Bridge and Midtown Tunnel. A four floor townhouse, with private garden and hardwood floors throughout, this can easily be converted to two units to provide a little income.

The Barlympics? Oh my...

2004-12-01T13:41:00.000-08:00

Well, thank goodness I made it out of NYC fast enough. I just received an email for the Barlympics from my sister. All I can say is, hey I probably could be competitive in this one! That is sad but true. My San Diego State University "education" has trained me well....even in my old age. Not sure what "bar sports" are though.

Thanksgiving in New York?

2004-11-24T17:10:00.000-08:00

That's right. This year, just as in the 4 previous years, I will be spending Thanksgiving with my family in New York City. I don't have much to say right now as I need to prepare for the big day, but I just wanted to wish everyone and theirs a happy Thanksgiving. I hope that you all will be spending the weekend with friends and family and that you have a great time.

Townhouse Sales

2004-11-19T11:06:00.000-08:00

Well, you would not know it from the way I write, but townhouse sales in NYC have not slowed down at all. As a matter of fact, it appears that sales have actually picked up as a percentage of the total active listings. It is amazing to see something so expensive in such high demand, especially in light of the current economic conditions in the American "middle class". I hope that things keep on going in the NYC real estate market, don't get me wrong, I just don't know where the money comes from sometimes. :)

Time to Sell?

2004-11-18T19:05:00.000-08:00

Is it finally time to sell your apartment? Well, I think so. I don't really see how with the current state of affairs in the US economy, you can make any more money on your apartment or townhouse. Inflation has been all but ignored by the president and the current administration. In case anyone else was paying attention, everything from milk to beef to home prices have shot through the roof. When interest rates go up...and they will go up, real estate is in for big troubles.

Holidays Are a Comin'

Well, it is almost that time of year again. The smell of freshly roasted nuts. The cold dry air. It can only mean one thing...the holiday season is coming. I will be spending my Thanksgiving with family and friends in New York City this year and it is sure to be a great time. I hope that everyone has someplace to go this year and people to spend their holiday season with. There is nothing like the holidays and spending time with the ones you love.
