Joint Venture Equity

Article Overview: Since institutional equity providers prefer larger deals, developers looking for $3 million in equity, for example, have a hard time getting their attention. But if an organization has the capacity to do seven deals a year, for instance, then the amount of equity inches up in the aggregate of $20 million to $30 million over 12 months, and it hits the threshold where it makes sense.

Joint Venture Equity
Like construction debt, joint venture equity for new construction is very hard to find. Smaller developers working on one-off deals will still find their best success in raising "friends and family" equity. But striking a relationship with an equity provider on a series of deals is a possibility for vertically integrated companies.
Since institutional equity providers prefer larger deals, developers looking for $3 million in equity, for example, have a hard time getting their attention. But if an organization has the capacity to do seven deals a year, for instance, then the amount of equity inches up in the aggregate of $20 million to $30 million over 12 months, and it hits the threshold where it makes sense.
Key to these types of deals is an organizational structure that includes some pretty big overhead costs, such as in-house construction, leasing, inspection, and engineering expertise. A single developer hiring several third-party providers is not as attractive to equity providers.
These "first look" agreements, which were popular in the 1990s, may be coming back in style. Such agreements require the developer to give the equity provider first dibs on any of its deals, and if the equity provider says no, the developer is free to bring it somewhere else As Housing Programs Falter, Administration Weighs New Refinance Plan
Rumors of a new government-led mortgage refinancing program have begun to surface, confirming that the White House is indeed considering a refi push that would allow homeowners to lower their monthly mortgage obligations by locking in today's rock-bottom interest rates.
Some industry insiders are viewing the move as a concession by the federal government that its existing housing programs aren't doing enough. The latest figures from the Treasury show that the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) has yielded just 389,198 permanent loan restructurings - results that even the inspector general has called "anemic, a mere drop in the bucket considering the program's end-goal is to refinance 4-5 million.
A position statement from one of the nation's four largest lenders obtained by DS News points out that while the benefits provided to homeowners under a new refinance program would certainly appeal to policymakers, those benefits would come at a cost.
Namely, a large portion of such efforts would be negated with high redefault rates expected on the refinanced loans, the bank said. Secondly, while a government-sponsored refi wave may help existing borrowers, it could penalize prospective new borrowers, as investors price in the potentiality of another government-driven refi wave in the future. And thirdly, refis would result in large losses for mortgage investors.
