Why US Real Estate? Unlike the EU, real estate has fallen in most of the US by an average of 35% from peak values, allowing 88% of the average family of four with two wage earners to be able to afford a home. In 2006 at the peak of the market only 17% of families using this same criteria were able to afford a home. The United States now has one of the most affordable home values vs. incomes in the developed world. The US has seen the number of homes for sale drop by over 2/3 in many gateway cities, with the level of sales exceeding foreclosures, short sales and shadow inventories by a factor of 2. The US currently is having a baby boom with the largest number of new births since post World War II. This is partially due to a significant number of adults in the 2328 year age range undertaking family formation exceeding any period since the 1970’s. US home foreclosures are forecast to taper off strongly by the 2 nd Qtr of 2011. Washingtonbased Mortgage Insurance Companies of America recently said borrowers who caught up on their overdue mortgages outnumbered people who became newly delinquent on insured home loans for the first time in almost four years.

Why US Real Estate? 

• Unlike the EU, real estate has fallen  in most of the US by an average of 35% from peak values, allowing 88% of the average family of four with two wage earners to be able to afford a home. In 2006 at  the peak of  the market only 17% of  families using  this  same  criteria were able  to afford a home. The United States now has one of the most affordable home values vs. incomes in the developed world. 

• The US has seen the number of homes for sale drop by over 2/3 in many gateway cities, with the level of sales exceeding foreclosures, short sales and shadow inventories by a factor of 2.  

• The US currently is having a baby boom with the largest number of new births since post World War  II.  This  is  partially  due  to  a  significant  number  of  adults  in  the  23‐28  year  age  range undertaking family formation exceeding any period since the 1970’s. 

• US home foreclosures are forecast to taper off strongly by the 2nd Qtr of 2011.  • Washington‐based Mortgage  Insurance  Companies  of  America  recently  said  borrowers  who 

caught up on their overdue mortgages outnumbered people who became newly delinquent on insured home loans for the first time in almost four years. 

• In  some  areas  house  prices  have  already  shown  price  increases,  such  as  San Diego  (Orange County)  and  San  Francisco,  rising  14%  from  their  low  values  of  12  months  ago.  http://www.housingwire.com/2009/11/16/san‐diego‐house‐prices‐rise‐14‐since‐march‐local‐survey/)  

• Housing  shortages  are  now  predicted  in many  gateway  cities  which  is  always  the  required condition  before  house  values  begin  to  rise.(http://www.housingwire.com/2009/12/22/nar‐puts‐housing‐inventory‐at‐44‐month‐low/ 

• New housing programs have been  recently offered by both  local and  federal programs which support a continuation of governmental incentives to bring markets to stability 

• The US has a method for dealing with its failed banks that has seen USD 14 billion of legacy asset sales in 2009 and they have projected USD 100 billion of structured asset sales for 2010. The EU currently has no similar program making access for investors of distressed real estate and loans very difficult.  

• The US has had a historical pattern of moving toxic assets away from the failed banks  into the private  investors hands  since  the 1990’s RTC programs and has made  it a  strong point  in  the current objectives of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve to remove the USD 1.4 trillion of assets currently on the FDIC books as a priority in the next 18 months, making the FEIC asset sale “the only game in town”. 

• The value of real estate was significantly impacted by the liquidity crisis, this is now beginning to adjust and real estate in the US will once again be able to use leverage albeit on more conservative loan to value ratios.

• US physical real estate has been risk‐adjusted by roughly 35% reductions allowing  investors to have a very  low entry point.   Unlike the transferable   securities based on real estate that have seen increases on average of 120%+ in the last 12 months investors can commit capital in 2010 via  the  fund, prior  to any major price adjustments, and potentially have  the  same or greater returns rather than risking investment today in more conventional securities.
