One of my clients - an investor and owner of a commercial mortgage brokerage business - confessed earlier this week that he was having a chicken little moment.

Offers he’d made earlier in the year to buy product that had been turned down - he’d been third or fourth in the bidding sometimes - were now coming back to him. He had more opportunities than he knew what to do with.

It was exciting at first, until he realized there were no lenders out there to finance the opportunities. Loans offered last week were no longer on the table. Many of his sophisticated equity partners were “on the sideline” for now.

It’s time for brokers and buyers to go where the market is taking them — and that is to distressed assets. My primary focus is on talking to the most motivated sellers: cash hungry sale leaseback prospects, lenders with troubled loans or REO to sell quickly at a discount, troubled owners, and the like.

While I often claim I threw out my crystal ball a long time ago, I will now go out on a limb and make a prediction: retailers are going to feel a lot more pain through the holiday shopping season. I predict more bankruptcies, more store closings, and more alternatives for your existing tenants that might have expiring leases.

If you’ve been thinking about selling that strip center, now’s a fine time to take some money off the table. Cap rate won’t be as attractive as in 2007 but who can time the market? And remember you’ll be buying into the same market you’re selling into.

I saw a blogger suggest raffling off your home. Four thousand $100 tickets, for instance, would take care of a $400,000 house. Let a charity work as your partner, and they keep the overage (say you sell five thousand tickets in all).

Might be an interesting play on the commercial side, say for a smaller single tenant net leased investment (say a little $700,000 Dollar General with some assumable non recourse financing?). That could be marketed across the country, unlike a house.

For commercial brokers to thrive:

10. Focus on the buyers: who can close a deal in this environment? Who is active? Monitor the comps.

9. Call on lenders. Broker the sale of troubled notes and REO (real estate owned by the bank).

8. Make short sales: that involves convincing the lender of a mortgage sale to discount the mortgage balance to facilitate a sale.

7. Prospect: How many of you actually make cold calls? Knock on doors? Try harder!

6. Call on owner occupants of real estate and suggest sale leasebacks. This is often the cheapest source of capital for companies in times when the lending market is tight.

5. Review your listings. Punt sellers that aren’t willing to adjust to the new pricing reality but remain demanding of your time.

4. Look to list and sell property encumbered with attractive, non-recourse financing: since this kind of financing is hard to get and rare, these assets are particularly sale-able today.

3. Take a page out of the residential agent’s playbook and call on “expired listings” and FSBOs. This is a fine time to be the 2nd or 3rd agent to take on a listing that’s due for a fresh face and a reduction in price.

2. Consider tackling a new unique product type: think car washes, mobile home parks, golf courses, churches, timber land, theme parks, cell phone towers, power generation plants, etc. etc. etc. Anywhere the competition isn’t.

1. Use some of that free time you’re not spending making deals to get some professional education: www.ccim.com.
