Scott Podvin presented at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design on distressed real estate opportunities. He discussed several topics: 1) Current opportunities exist in sourcing, underwriting and executing distressed real estate deals, with capital coming from places like hedge funds and private equity firms. 2) The best markets for investment are those with strong job growth, deep property discounts, and long-term demand drivers like population growth. These include cities hit hard by the real estate crisis like Miami and Las Vegas. 3) Hundreds of billions of dollars are being withdrawn from hedge funds and private equity due to poor performance and redemptions, forcing the sale of illiquid real estate assets at discounted prices.

23. SMALLER BANKS WILL GET HIT HARDERUnlike the housing meltdown, this crisis is likely to hit smaller banks the hardest. The four largest U.S. banks have an average exposure of 2 per cent to commercial real estate. The 30 to 100 largest banks have an average 12-per-cent exposure. Scott L. Podvin, Managing Director of The Crest at Waterford Lakes, LLCHarvard University’s Graduate School of Design: Distressed Real Estate: Examining Debt and Equity Structures to Mitigate Losses and Identify Opportunities, July 22-23, 2009 spodvin@post.harvard.edu; www.TheCrestLife.comhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/sp0dvinTel: (305) 793-5762; Fax: (305) 665-3971

24. HUMPTY DUMPTY CAN’T PUT THE ZOMBIE BANKS BACK TOGETHER AGAINThe banking industry, which has a $1.8-trillion exposure to commercial real estate, could face losses of nearly $200-billion, according to Deutsche Bank real estate analyst Richard Parkus.

30.

32. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATECRISIS JUST BEGINNINGA wave of loans made during the boom years of the past decade are now coming due, including roughly $400-billion worth this year and more than $1.8-trillion by 2012, according to the Washington-based Real Estate Roundtable.

Podvin, Managing Director of The Crest at Waterford Lakes, LLCHarvard University’s Graduate School of Design: Distressed Real Estate: Examining Debt and Equity Structures to Mitigate Losses and Identify Opportunities, July 22-23, 2009 spodvin@post.harvard.edu; www.TheCrestLife.comhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/sp0dvinTel: (305) 793-5762; Fax: (305) 665-3971

33. NEW YORK EPICENTER OFCOMMERCIAL RE CRISISThe epicenter of the commercial real estate crisis is New York, where nearly $8-billion worth of commercial properties – mainly office towers – are in various stages of financial distress. Many office towers with significant vacancies, in Manhattan and elsewhere, are being unloaded at “fire sale” discounts of up to 70%. Scott L. Podvin, Managing Director of The Crest at Waterford Lakes, LLCHarvard University’s Graduate School of Design: Distressed Real Estate: Examining Debt and Equity Structures to Mitigate Losses and Identify Opportunities, July 22-23, 2009 spodvin@post.harvard.edu; www.TheCrestLife.comhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/sp0dvinTel: (305) 793-5762; Fax: (305) 665-3971

34. Office/Shopping CentersPrices for office towers and shopping centers are already down 35 to 45% from their peak in 2007, and further declines are likely, Mr. Parkus from Deutsche Bank said. That compares with a 32% peak-to-trough decline for house prices, according to the Case-Shiller home price index. Scott L. Podvin, Managing Director of The Crest at Waterford Lakes, LLCHarvard University’s Graduate School of Design: Distressed Real Estate: Examining Debt and Equity Structures to Mitigate Losses and Identify Opportunities, July 22-23, 2009 spodvin@post.harvard.edu; www.TheCrestLife.comhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/sp0dvinTel: (305) 793-5762; Fax: (305) 665-3971

35. HOTELSAfter a dismal 2008, it seemed that hotel sales volume could not fall any further. Q1'09 transactions dropped to $644M, an 85% YOY decline and 98% off the 2007 market peak. Sales of limited service properties fell 77% from Q1’08 levels while full service properties have endured an 88% decline in sales volume. ©2008 Real Capital Analytics, Inc.

36. HOTELSPer-unit pricing declined with the drop-off in volume as full and limited service hotels were down 1% and 4% YOY, respectively. Pricing for the top 25% of assets also fell to $169k/key at a 7.5% cap rate further underlining the particular strain on the typically higher-priced full service market.©2008 Real Capital Analytics, Inc.

37. HOTELSSmaller deal size means smaller private players are dominating limited service hotel transaction activity and made up 69% of buyers for the past four quarters. Private investors also comprised 80% of sellers of limited service properties for the same period. Those investors most vulnerable to the freeze in capital markets, including REITs and other public companies, continue to be net sellers at a staggering 12:1 ratio. ©2008 Real Capital Analytics, Inc.

38. HOTELSInstitutional and foreign players with a particular taste for full service assets have been net buyers by a ratio of over 3:2. As more hotel assets become distressed, these trends seem poised to continue; the big buyers of the boom will sell assets to meet obligations while institutions with strong balance sheets or smaller private players can take advantage of bargains.©2008 Real Capital Analytics, Inc.

39. CONCLUSIONSNo CMBS in 2009 YTD, and practically no debt available.What to CAP? Trailing-12 makes no sense as NOI keeps falling. Whose forecast do you use for your proforma? Cap rates are rising but no one knows where they will stabilize.Scott L. Podvin, Managing Director of The Crest at Waterford Lakes, LLCHarvard University’s Graduate School of Design: Distressed Real Estate: Examining Debt and Equity Structures to Mitigate Losses and Identify Opportunities, July 22-23, 2009 spodvin@post.harvard.edu; www.TheCrestLife.comhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/sp0dvinTel: (305) 793-5762; Fax: (305) 665-3971

40. CONCLUSIONS CONT.-Buyers expect many foreclosures and bank REOs, and don’t want to overpay, so for the time being remain on sidelinesKey markets need new price benchmarks to reset expectations. Only then will buyers know their way.Buyers are assuming that when they do proceed, they need to be prepared to buy with all-equity. Hence further upward pressure on Cap rates Scott L.

41. FINAL THOUGHTSSeller financing will be prevalent in transactions for the foreseeable futureWhen debt starts coming available (who knows when?), it will be more costlyMany groups have identified new equity sources, but not many transactions have closed so you must doubt whether they funded yet.

43. Downward Pressure on New Home Prices1) Lack of mortgage financing, 2) Job losses and lower incomes, 3) Smaller houses with lower specifications, 4) Need for many home buyers to sell another house before they buy, and 5) Massive REO competition as the option- ARM recast wave hits next year. Plus, as Treasury rates rise, there will be further downward pressure.Scott L.
