Which way do you go, Ben...which way do you go?

The market has already priced a 25 bp cut in rates at the Fed meeting today. Some are hoping for 50 bps or more. But a surprising number of people (39%) in an unscientific WSJ poll are saying, "Don't do it." The theory? Inflation should be the main concern and a rate cut rewards the stupidity of speculators who levered deals too much and at the cost of those who were more rational. I admit that I like this attitude. You pay your money, you take your chances, so long as it does not foul up the whole kit and kaboodle. And if that means a few hedgies have to go without a new jet this year, then so be it. I was brought up to believe that you pay your debts and you live with your mistakes, even if that means some sacrifice.

Lehman, AIG, and now Merrill? Think there are some busy lawyers?

First Barclay's walks from Lehman -- yet another suitor gone, and liquidationsville of some sort is being predicted. That is unless another angel comes to the table. AIG is looking to restructure itself, too -- they have rejected a private equity infusion and are apparently turning to the Fed . And now we are all reading that B of A and Merrill are looking to merge as well. If Lehman really goes bye-bye, I will miss it. They did a good job on every deal in which I was involved. But the market is what it is, and some say this is the way Bear should have ended too. In this case, though, Lehman's world's end would be with a bang, not a whimper. People are scared . As Matt Heaton put it over on ActiveRain, it is getting surreal . And will this panic the market tomorrow? I guess we'll see what Asia and Europe do tonight. I may have to cancel some meetings for tomorrow or at least keep an eye on the TV or radio. The dirt angle of this is huge, too, in my opinion...

Cap rate spreads - making sense?

I really like this analysis by David Lynn posted at NREI. Why? Because it makes sense to me. At one point, the numbers were insane. People buying deals at a 4 cap with the unfounded expectation that the bubble would go on and on and on smelled of tulips in Rotterdam. And yes, the frost came. But look at the charts now, if you happen to be a chart person. Add in your risk premium and real estate is slowly starting to make sense again. Buy at a 10, sell at a 8 is the maxim I have mentioned here before. And as the caps reach reasonable levels, real estate's making sense again. That is the beauty of cycles. The thing is - it could still get better. But I agree with the analysis that smart money will start jumping in again with relatively "safe" deals - reasonable interest rates, LTVs and expectations.

GGP and SPEs - bankruptcy remote, bankruptcy proof?

Now that I have a few minutes, I want to comment on a great story in Friday's Journal about the General Growth Properties bankruptcy. When GGP filed its Chapter 11, it also dragged 166 individual malls with it. How so? Each mall is owned by a special purpose entity, demanded by its lenders to try to prevent what actually happened. And this could have major ramifications throughout the real estate world. Why? Because (a) lenders thought the structure of the deals would prevent this from happening; (b) GGP wants to take the cash flow from the deals into general operating funds for the company rather than into paying these otherwise-performing loans -- in short, use the good malls to prop up the dogs; and (c) get some leverage in the bankruptcy. For those of you saying, "Huh?" here's an explanation: In past years, to get the malls' mortgages, General Growth had set up 166 "special purpose entities" whose sole purpose was to borrow money. SPEs are attr...
