Understanding the intricacies of distressed commercial real estate investing

In recent times, the commercial real estate market has seen a surge of new investors and sponsors, many of whom are experiencing the realities of a real estate downturn for the first time. As interest rates rise and operational distress becomes more prevalent, the industry faces significant challenges.

Our guest on The Real Estate Reality Show today, Steve Moore, a seasoned expert from Causeway Advisors, LLC, discusses the impact of these changes on both developers and their investors.

With the potential for distressed assets in the coming months and many sponsors experiencing capital calls, Moore shares his insights on the importance of understanding the nuances of distressed investing. He emphasizes the need for investors to scrutinize their existing portfolios for potential instances of distress and to be cautious about investing in deals that appear different from the usual package deals they've been used to in the past.

Moore also highlights the importance of sponsors having a longer duration of experience, ideally having managed through challenging cycles like the great financial crisis. He expresses caution about sponsors who built their businesses during a high rising tide, as their true capabilities will be tested now that the tide is out.

At GowerCrowd, we take a realistic view of commercial real estate investing, providing pragmatic insights for passive investors who are looking for sponsors they can trust and discounted opportunities they can invest in.

You’ll find no quick fixes or easy money ideas here, no sales pitches, big egos or hype.

Real estate investing for passive (accredited) investors is turning messy with vast swathes of loan maturities approaching which is going to send many sponsors into default causing their investors to lose capital.

While this is nothing to be celebrated, it will also bring in a period of wealth transfer and opportunistic investments.

We’re here to guide you by looking at the harsh reality of real estate investing, examining the risks and the rewards in conversations with some of the world’s top experts so you can make informed decisions.

You’ll learn how to build your wealth while protecting your capital investing as a limited partner in commercial real estate investments, even and especially during an economic downturn.

Is the commercial real estate world on the cusp of a major correction? Is it 2007 or 1989 all over again? Will passive investors (limited partners) who have invested in syndications (through crowdfunding or otherwise) see losses they had not predicted? How can you access discounted real estate opportunities this time around that were only available to a select few during prior downturns?
Let us help you prepare your real estate portfolio no matter what the future holds, whether it be business as usual for real estate investors or a period of wealth transfer where those less prudent during the good times, lose their assets to those who have sat on the sidelines, patiently waiting for a correction.
