奧蘭多(Orlando)的REO項目

這兩樓層公寓，坐落在奧蘭多的The Greens, 就在John Young Pky附近。

The Greens 距離所有在奧蘭多最好的購物場所只在咫尺之距離。實質上， 離Millenia的獨家購物中心只是數分鐘，而離著名的Prime Outlet 和Florida Mall亦只是2英里。在奧蘭多市中心和國際道(international Drive), 你可以找到一流的餐飲食肆，並且都只是離你家門口數分鐘的路程。

The Greens提供的設施：

¨有限度造訪和保安。

¨獨立式車庫。設有燒烤爐的燒烤區。

¨游泳池。

¨環境美化的地面。

· 24小時緊急維修。

·全新，專用管理團隊。

物業資料：

¨ 2間寬敞的臥室

¨ 2間浴室

¨ 947平方英尺

於 2000年興建

¨離購物，主要道路，餐飲和學校只需數分鐘

該建築於 2000年開始建設。它最初是附近社區博尼塔噴泉（Bonita Fountains)的一部分。博尼塔噴泉（Bonita Fountains) 是一個只包含公寓的發展項目。由於沒有別墅，因此，亦沒有個別業主。

The Greens -背景資料。

The Greens 是發展出售給個別業主的一部份，其中許多人仍然是那兒的住戶。當市場崩潰，博尼塔噴泉的業主申請破產。貸款人把博尼塔噴泉取消抵押品贖回，然後將之拍賣。由於很多業主都在高位時 以巨大的價格買入，大部分The Greens 的物業亦需要贖回。由於The Greens由許多不同的業主所擁有，因此亦有很多不同的貸款人承擔人，因此決定把發展以一個單獨的入口隔離， 以付合The Greens的需要。

2008年和2009年是該社區最困難的時刻，由於許多的物業都進入取消抵押品贖回權。只有很少資金提供給業主協會（HOA）以維持社區。然而，該發展在過去 6個月內出現了轉機， 由於有投資者走進來，購買沒收了的物業，因此支付了他們的業主協會費用。

園林綠化已恢復，以及新的入口和開放一個新泳池。

The Greens 由336個單位組成，從一房到三房公寓，而且坐落在一個優越的地理位置。它有一個非常積極的業主協會， 包括了居住在該發展項目和並沒有被贖回的原業主。現在， 那裡已成為一個由單獨擁有公寓房業主組成的社區，因此有很多助其成功的既得利益。

社區的新入口：

其中一個積極參與這公寓投資資本的貸款機構，投資了資本建造一個新的入口，希望能把公寓發展項目與隔壁的豪華公寓發展分開。這導致ROE的價格攀升，我們相信這將有助於提高我們在這裡的資產價值。

由於我們處於現今的房地產週期，很難顯示零售銷售業績的比較。以下你能看到的數字， 是來自REO交易中， 嚴重需要租戶改善的數據。我們與數位評估員談過， 他們告訴我們這些公寓房修理後的價值範圍於 $ 89k 到 $ 125k之間。但是，所有購買這些資產的投資者，會持有它們多3至5年，以獲得最大的回報。

需要重修的REO物業，銷售型號價格

5526公寓4932 2房/2浴室 36,000美元，

5513公寓4835 2房/2浴室 69 900美元，

5550公寓5123 3房/2浴室 69，000美元，

5501公寓4173 3房/2浴室 89 900美元，

3737松樹城堡公寓（Castle Pines Apt) 4412 3房/2浴室，79,000美元，

最近賣出的REO物業

5526公寓4832（於05/06/10出售）2房/2浴室， 32,995美元,

5501公寓4722（於2009年底出售）3房/2浴室， 48 500美元，

因為我們是以大量購買，我們能夠以低於REO的價錢，為投資者提供資產。但我們卻把服務推到另一個水平，完成所需要的租用改建，和在截止日期前把該物業出租給合格的房客使用。正是這種系統，為所有的參與者，創造一個雙贏局面。

長期租賃

購買後，投資者 /所有者將直接與 Raffordia聯繫有關於長期租賃協等。Raffordia的專門是在長期和短期租賃上。我們只收購銀行擁有的物業（銀主盤）， 以出租給長期租戶為目標。

由於我們所有的物業， 都是銀行所有的，我們能在低於原價買入，我們覺得長期出租能給予可持續的回報， 以及為業主帶來較少的不便。我們在出售給其他投資者之前，會購買，裝修和出租我們所有的物業給長期住戶。

Hotel Investment Deals Activities

This is our summary of a number of interesting deals on hotel acquisitions & financing activities worldwide: this week’s highlight: Bank of China rising in London, another deal done in Miami, new hotel fund for India by Accor.

Bank of China beats local lenders to finance £100m luxury London hotel

The Bank of China has swooped to fund a landmark hotel in London’s West End, in the latest sign that the capital has become the darling of Far East investment.

The Bank of China has agreed terms with the Splendid Hotel group to provide a £50m development loan to build a 254-room hotel near New Scotland Yard. The six-storey hotel, which will have a final value of at least £100m, will occupy the freehold site of the 19th-century former Queen Anne’s Chambers.

It is thought Lloyds and Barclays were considering financing the hotel, whose construction costs will be roughly between £180,000 and £200,000 a room, but Bank of China swooped on the deal.

Bank of China and other Chinese banks have been looking for deals outside China, one of the reasons is that Chinese banks have been worried that the Chinese real estate market is overheated; and there are better value and better yields in markets elsewhere. Although this is the first deal announced in London, Bank of China has been active in financing hotel projects in SE Asia as well as some parts of North America.

Sunstone Hotel buys Miami hotel for $126.1M

Lodging property owner Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc. said Monday that it bought the Royal Palm hotel in Miami Beach, Fla., for $126.1 million at a foreclosure auction.

The company plans to renovate the 409-room beach front hotel with new furniture, fixtures, equipment and operating supplies.

Sunstone is in the process of selecting a manager for the hotel. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.

In the recent months, there has been substantial increase number of acquisitions announced in Florida, especially in Miami, some of these hotels were bought by mainly New York and California based groups; as well as Canadian, German, Singaporean and Japanese real estate investment groups.

Accor: Creates New Hotel Investment Fund In India

French hotels group Accor SA Wednesday said it has created a fund with InterGlobe to hold new hotels in India and will be on acquisition lookout across the region.

The fund, which will also be owned by Pacifica Partners, will initially hold seven hotels worth around $325 million and is scheduled to launch between 2011 and 2013, the company said. Accor and Interglobe will each own 32% stakes and Pacifica will hold 36%, subject to regulatory approval.

Accor has been in India for five years through its joint venture with InterGlobe, and has opened eight hotels in the country. The hotels group’s strategy is to operate hotel brands of all ranges in the country, from luxury to budget hotels.

Accor and other European real estate groups have been expanding their hotel portfolio in India, initially these were focused on major cities; but has since spread to other emerging tourism destinations. This is a new fund that many Indian hotel developers could find it useful.

It still offers very supportive environment and also very well established economies especially for new opportunities. It also has a culture for business innovators; its universities are teaching students to be innovative and be different; which is very different from most of education systems in the world.

China: China is an interesting case, where the society is changing, but there is a culture “not to be different” from others. Many still think the best way to make a living is to work for Government which is a life-time guaranteed job. However, with influx of overseas students from other economies; and new technologies; there has been a general rise in entrepreneurship in the coastal cities of China, and there is also a strong increase in venture capital activities to support these new ventures.

India: Compared to China, the 2 rising economies have a lot of similarities; where families have high savings and importance of education. India, however, has been a breeding ground for IT and Engineering entrepreneurs; and its universities and education systems are also evolving into good training grounds for entrepreneurs.

Israel: Israel is a classical example of a society where it values and respects entrepreneurship; they see it as a distinguishing factor for Israel; and most of Israeli firms also have very strong ambitions in becoming global players; the Government has been very supportive to support these programs either by funding or through regular incentives such as networking events; it also has an established venture capital networks to fund new inventions.

Canada: Canada is very much a global village, its proximity to USA is also an interesting case where it likes to compete with US companies; and also receives support from US investors and businesses frequently. Being the world’s most integrated multicultural society also gives Canada an advantage in connecting with businesses and investors around the world. The Government is also very supportive to entrepreneurs noted by number of scholarships and funding programs available.

Germany: Germany is always a nation that supports and values entrepreneurship and technologies, this culture is well remained in today’s society; and its Government and education systems also encourage innovative ideas and support them. In addition to the well known industries like automotives and engineering, German Government and institutions are also highly supportive for cleantech, filming, media and financial industries.

UK: UK is also a perfect ground for entrepreneurs; as evidenced by its innovations in several industries including the financial services industries; aviation industries and biotechnology. Certain cities like London, Oxford are particular good places for entrepreneurs to live where they can find their like minded networks and also concentration of many venture capital firms.

South Korea: If you can speak Korean and if you are in technology, biotechnology and film industries; Korea is a nice place to be in. Korean Government has been implementing many policies for over 20 years in developing the nation’s capability and technical-know-how, it is one of the most ambitious and active governments in Asia in supporting new innovations.
