Well, it looks like it hit the fan. At our October NAIOP
breakfast Scott Eaton, Principal of Gerding Edlen, responded to
a question about financing with: Capital? What capital. There
is no capital. While technically there may be capital available
in the current market, much if it is sidelined and the rest is picky.
Some product types are excluded and leverage is significantly less
than 18 months ago.
Our November breakfast event will focus on capital
markets on Wall Street today and the effect of the credit crisis
on commercial real estate lending here in the Pacific Northwest.
We have an investment banker, a mezzanine debt lender, and a mortgage
