How Banking Instrument and Hard Asset Lending Programs Work

Lending programs were developed to assist clients with either financial instruments (BGs, MTNs, LOCs, CMOs, Insurance Wraps, Treasury Notes, Stock Portfolios and other financial assets) or hard assets (emeralds, rubies, diamonds, gold, silver, copper isotopes, iridium, gold dust, real estate and other assets) to free up a rather frozen, long term asset into immediate cash enabling higher return, short term investments.

The only real requirement is that the asset be assigned and lien-able securing the lenders position.

Most program loans range from fifty million (50,000,000.00) to fifty billion (50,000,000,000.00) and are for a period of one (1) year, this process is usually simple and straight forward, and best of all, quick to fund since many lenders use private funds.

First, the client usually will receive a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that details the lending process. If acceptable, the client provides all pertinent and necessary documentation validating ownership, authentication and value for initial review along with the signed MOU. Additional documents may be required, so please treat all lender requests with a time-is-of-the-essence urgency. Upon review of asset quality, the Loan Agreement is presented to client for review and completion. The loan review period is about three to five (3 to 5) business days with a total loan process time of about 30 days till day of funding.

Instrument General Process: If approved, usually the instrument will be purchased and held, or held and blocked, for the Lender’s benefit for the period of one (1) year. The Client has the option to “Repurchase” the instrument at its Full Fair Market Value on the day the Repurchase agreement was Fully Transacted. Upon receiving the block on the instrument, the Lender will wire transfer to the bank the loan proceeds. Depending on the quality of the instrument, the advance against the face value averages sixty to eighty percent (60 to 80%), but can be as high as eighty seven and a half percent (87.5%) for larger loans up to 50B.

Hard Asset General Process: If approved, usually the client chooses a top rated American or Western European bank that understands asset lending for their specific asset (HSBC is preferred) that is agreeable to both parties. The bank will then create a Line of Credit or SBLC for fifty percent (50%) of the assets current appraised value. The bank may require the assets to be transferred to the bank or remain in the holding depository they are currently lodged – this is solely the preference of the Client’s bank. The LC/SBLC will be drafted in the Clients name in favor of the Lender. Upon receiving the LC/SBLC, the Lender will mirror the LC/SBLC amount with a wire transfer to the bank.

The key thing to remember when presenting your asset to the bank is the inbound wire. The bank gains an asset at 50% LTV by creating a LOC triggering a mirrored inbound wire transfer with blocked funds that remain in the bank. A bankers dream come true – a no risk loan!

Since this service was created as an expeditious manner for clients to place hard assets into short term, higher yielding programs, lenders prefer the majority – if not all – of the loan proceeds go towards investments. However, they understand that a client may have an immediate capital requirement, so most allow up to 20% of the loaned amount to be dispersed to the client with 80% or more dedicated to investing.

Lender simple interest rates average from twelve and half percent to twenty percent (12.5 to 20%) depending on the asset and loan amount. The higher the loan amount, the lower the interest rate with a 50M minimum and a 50B maximum. Principle with interest is repaid in a single payment at the end of the twelve month loan period.

This lending program allows clients to obtain cash against the stagnant asset in a matter of days while they also simultaneously coordinate high yield investment programs. The loan review and trade compliance process take about 10 days for a simultaneous closing for both transactions.

Here’s a typical loan scenario: Current appraised asset value ,000,000,000 (one billion), 50% of asset value 500,000,000, LC/SBLC created in favor of Lender 500,000,000, Lender wires to bank 500,000,000, Client is allowed up to 20% of funds 100,000,000, Cash for investment 400,000,000.

If you or a client has instruments or hard assets to lend against that that are assignable and lien-able, this type of loan program may be of assistance to you providing a bountiful returns when placed in secure, higher yielding short term programs, which are readily available.

The phrase “The rich only get richer” is never more obvious when you learn how to leverage long term assets for short term higher returns. Learn more at www.InvestorEarth.com.

Asian Industrial Property Markets Remained Largely Upbeat in the First Half of 2007

Asian Industrial Property Markets Remained Largely Upbeat in the First Half of 2007

The second quarter continued to record upbeat performance in most of Asia’s industrial property markets, buttressed by sustained growth in the manufacturing sector and robust demand in logistics facilities. Industrial land prices in China appreciated further following the establishment of a system of minimum industrial land prices and the implementation of mandatory use of market mechanisms in the primary sales of industrial land.


In Japan, vacancy at large-scale multi-tenant distribution centres in and around Tokyo edged up by 50 basis points over the quarter to 8.9 per cent, as continued demand from 3PL operators was offset by the completion of new facilities. With a strong development pipeline, competition among landlords to attract tenants intensified, resulting in downward pressure on rents.


Despite weaker market conditions, logistics assets continued to attract interest from both overseas and domestic private funds, and market sentiment suggests that the perceived risk premium for the sector is diminishing on the back of its growing acceptance as an investment class.


Average rents for all industrial space in Singapore continued to increase in the second quarter of 2007, with high-tech space posting its highest quarterly increase in five years. Rents are expected to rise further due to supply constraints in the office market and increasing demand amid optimism about business conditions.


The combined effect of the newly opened Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor and booming trading activity in Hong Kong has ensured that demand for local industrial properties persisted and property values continued to rise in the second quarter. However, limited stock and multiple ownership of local industrial properties made large-scale acquisitions difficult and smaller industrial buildings made up most of the quarter’s en bloc transactions.


In Mainland China, the second quarter saw full implementation of the policies requiring industrial land to be sold through public bidding, auction and listing. Industrial property rents and prices in cities under survey generally continued to increase or remained stable.


In Beijing, the average industrial rent was RMB 52.1 per square meter, an increase of 2 per cent compared with the first quarter. The price of industrial land, at RMB 1,200 per square meter, registered 4.1 per cent growth compared with the previous quarter.


The land use rights of 120 industrial sites in Shanghai were transferred under the new regime during the second quarter. Industrial land prices rose 2.2 per cent quarter on quarter to RMB 898.8 per square meter (RMB 83.5 per square feet), while the average facility rent increased 0.8 per cent to RMB 31.5 per square meter (RMB 2.9 per square feet) per month.


In Vietnam, the value of Ho Chi Minh City’s industrial output increased by 12.6 per cent quarter on quarter in the first half of 2007, but at a rate slightly lower than the 13 percent growth rate during the same period last year. Lawsuits regarding leather and footwear exports to Europe and garment and textile exports to the United States have led to the loss of some major contracts, one cause of the drop in the growth rate.


However major high-tech investments and industrial park development projects were announced during the quarter. Hanoi’s second quarter GDP growth of 11.2 per cent was the highest in the past five years. During the first half of 2007, an estimated US0 million of investment capital entered industrial parks, 71 per cent of the amount in the same period of 2006, with the decline due to lack of available space. The total income of FDI enterprises in industrial parks increased sharply as WTO commitments enabled direct transactions with overseas partners with preferential tariffs and trading rules.


The prospect of a general election in Thailand at the end of the year or in early 2008 acted to slightly improve market confidence in the second quarter, while the government’s approval of tax incentives for automakers investing at least THB 5 billion in eco-car manufacturing spurred investment in the sector. However sales of industrial land in the second quarter remained subdued and the full impact of these positive developments is only likely to be felt from the second half of the year onwards.


Activity in the semiconductor, manufacturing and electronics sectors continued to dominate activity in the Philippines’ industrial property markets. Amid a shortage of traditional office space, the majority of ICT/ITeS companies have relocated to business and industrial parks to take advantage of the flexibility and incentives they offer. There has also been strong demand for industrial properties from shipbuilding, logistics and utilities companies, due to the present upbeat demand conditions.

Cowgill points out that real estate investing deals can be lost when investors attempt to get the money from banks. That is because in today’s market it is almost impossible to find funding even with great credit, which may cause the seller to move on and find another buyer. By using Private Money, the funds are available immediately.

Also, private money offers other benefits for those investing in real estate. In most cases, private money does not have to be paid back until the investment property is sold. Without monthly payments to keep up with, those investing in real estate can purchase more properties.

The real estate investing webinar is also going to show real estate investors how to approach private money lenders. Cowgill points out that lenders can be scared away if they are not approached properly, which means that the deal can be lost. With his methods of approaching private lenders for real estate investing purposes, he has reached the point where lenders actually come to him in order to take part in his investments.

Users of Cowgill’s system have found success. Samuel Coachman of Stone Mountain, Georgia states, “I had my first private lender within three weeks of learning your system. Now after a few months, I have four private lenders totaling around 0,000 and I pay 6-15% on their money. Best of all, I’ve set up several lease option deals with great monthly cash flows, something my hard money lenders wouldn’t let me do in the past.”

Answer by Biancoa
Try going to your local real estate investors association. They normally have meetings once a month and as a guest you can usually attend for free. If you want to get into commercial, try working at a commercial only brokerage. They are the better ones to work at unless you want to only invest in single family homes.
