There are five states with commercial mortgage
delinquencies over 10%:
Nevada, Montana, Michigan, Arizona and Florida.
All of the other states are close to these delinquency
rates. There is no shortage of distressed commercial real
estate opportunities right now and it’s much easier to get in this
game than it used to be. Commercial loans that were
originated in 2006-2007 have doubled this quarter and are
defaulting at 3.95% and 4.28%. Loans originated in 2008 are
defaulting at 7.82%. Pretty eye opening, huh? That makes it
easy for you to find which properties to go after.
If you think that’s bad, check this out. These are the
delinquency rates for the different types of commercial
properties as of October 2009:
Office 2.29%
Hotel 6.81%
Retail 3.55%
Multifamily 6.00%
Industrial 3.09%
We are seeing the same signs of what the lenders did during
the 1981-82 and 1990-1991 recessions. There were more
millionaires made during then in commercial real estate
than any other time.

Homes lost to foreclosure up 6 pct from last year
Home repossessions surged in July, but pace of new home loan defaults continued to slow
The number of U.S. homes lost to foreclosure surged in July, another sign lenders are moving quicker to take back properties from homeowners behind in payments.
Lenders repossessed 92,858 properties last month, up 9 percent from June and an increase of 6 percent from July 2009, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.
Banks have stepped up repossessions this year to clear out the backlog of bad loans. July makes the eighth month in a row that the pace of homes lost to foreclosure has increased on an annual basis.
Meanwhile, homeowners who are falling behind on their payments are being allowed to stay in their homes longer because lenders are reluctant to add to the glut of foreclosed homes on the market.

The number of properties receiving an initial default notice — the first step in the foreclosure process — rose 1 percent last month from June, but tumbled 28 percent versus July last year, RealtyTrac said.
Initial defaults have fallen on an annual basis the past six months.
The latest data reflect a foreclosure crisis that continues to drag on as many homeowners struggle to make their monthly payments amid high unemployment, slow job growth and an uneven rebound in home prices.
Economic woes, such as unemployment or reduced income, are now the main catalysts for foreclosures. Initially, lax lending standards were the culprit, but homeowners with good credit who took out conventional, fixed-rate loans are now the fastest growing group of foreclosures.
Lenders are offering a variety of programs to help homeowners modify their loans, but their success rates vary. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners can't qualify or fall back into default.
The Obama administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the problem. More than 40 percent, or about 530,000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration's main effort to assist those facing foreclosure.
That program, known as Making Home Affordable, has provided permanent help to about 390,000 homeowners, or 30 percent of the 1.3 million who have enrolled since March 2009.
Still, RealtyTrac estimates more than 1 million American households are likely to lose their homes to foreclosure this year.
In all, 325,229 properties received a foreclosure-related warning in July, up 4 percent from June, but down 10 percent from the same month last year, RealtyTrac said. That translates to one in 397 U.S. homes.
The firm tracks notices for defaults, scheduled home auctions and home repossessions — warnings that can lead up to a home eventually being lost to foreclosure.
Among states, Nevada posted the highest foreclosure rate in July, with one in every 82 households receiving a foreclosure notice. The number of properties in Nevada receiving a foreclosure warning last month rose nearly 7 percent from June, but fell nearly 30 percent from the same month last year.
Rounding out the top 10 states with the highest foreclosure rate last month were: Arizona, Florida, California, Idaho, Michigan, Utah, Illinois, Georgia and Maryland.
Las Vegas continued to be the city with the highest foreclosure rate in the U.S., with one in every 71 homes receiving a foreclosure notice in July — more than five times the national average.
