The Treasury is Preparing For a Commercial Real Estate Crisis
In the past week or so, I’ve seen a lot of buzz on the internet about how a commercial real estate crisis is our next big economic problem. There has not been much in the way of commentary from reputable sources in the last several weeks, so I decided to dig a bit deeper.
Interestingly, there seems to be a wave of positive economic news coming from the media these days and discussion about the problems in the residential mortgage industry have, at least for now, died down. Whether the positive economic news is accurate is another issue — check out Josh’s commentary here about the next wave of residential foreclosures.
Thus, the shift of attention from the residential mortgage problems to commercial real estate makes sense. Commercial lending is different than residential real estate and it’s possible that the average consumer isn’t really interested in figuring out what’s wrong with commercial lending. Many of these people are still trying to save their homes.
Commercial real estate loans are structured differently from residential mortgage loans. Most commercial real estate loans have a shorter term, say, ten years. At the end of the loan term, the loan is not paid in full as a result of making monthly payments over the loan term. Instead, a percentage of the loan is due and payable as a lump sum or balloon payment.

Benefits of Commercial Real Estate!
1.) The great thing about commercial real estate is you can make money from this type of investment in many different ways. You have the ability to purchase the property, gain equity and then turn around and profit on the sale. You can also rent or lease the property to obtain and sustain a monthly rental income. It is even viable to purchase an office building and run your own business from the property. If the building contains multiple floors or offices, these portions can be leased or rented out.
