From Bruce Bossow 

The SBA has just announced it is resurrecting its RE-FI program and this time they have received authorization from Congress to make it permanent. Soon, borrowers and commercial and industrial property owners will be able to re-finance their owner occupied real estate mortgage into a 20 year FIXED DEBT instrument. It will take some months to define the rules, forms and particulars, but you can start thinking about how you can take advantage of this program. We expect that even if you currently have a conventional loan, you will be able to take advantage of this program by putting as little as 10% down. This program will add wind to the sails of the commercial brokerage business in 2016. So call any of our brokers if you would like information on how this program can help you.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your families a happy, healthy and prosperous NEW YEAR!

MORE GAINS IN COMMERCIAL SECTOR TO COME
by Daily Real Estate News

All major sectors of commercial real estate will continue to improve, but widely-anticipated increases in short-term interest rates could complicate market growth in the year ahead.

That was the forecast from NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun at the commercial real estate outlook session last week at the REALTORS� Conference & Expo in San Diego. He said that vacancy rates in the office, retail, manufacturing, hotel, and multifamily housing sectors are likely to continue their decline in 2016, even as new projects come online to expand capacity.

RETAILERS EATING UP MORE REAL ESTATE
by Ryan Ori, Chicago Real Estate Daily

Chicago-area retail vacancy fell at the sharpest rate in five years during the third quarter, resuming a post-recession comeback that had paused in the first half of 2015.

Landlords had 9.3 percent overall vacancy during the third quarter, plunging from 10 percent in the previous quarter, according to Los Angeles-based CBRE. That's down from 9.8 percent a year earlier.

The mostly downward move in vacancy since then has been partly the product of what isn't happening-store closings-combined with new deals, said retail broker Sean McCourt, a CBRE associate based in the firm's Bannockburn office.

An improved economy and fewer store closings, combined with several large leases, has continued to push vacancy far below the post-crash high of 12.1 percent in 2010. The low point was 8.6 percent in early 2013, before grocery store chain Dominick's closed and flooded the market with big blocks of vacant space.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE CAP RATE
by Robert Schmidt, Property Metrics

The capitalization rate is a fundamental concept in the commercial real estate industry. Yet, it is often misunderstood and sometimes incorrectly used. This post will take a deep dive into the concept of the cap rate, and also clear up some common misconceptions.

Cap Rate Definition
What is a cap rate? The capitalization rate, often just called the cap rate, is the ratio of Net Operating Income (NOI) to property asset value. So, for example, if a property was listed for $1,000,000 and generated an NOI of $100,000, then the cap rate would be $100,000/$1,000,000, or 10%.

Cap Rate Example
Let's take an example of how a cap rate is commonly used. Suppose we are researching the recent sale of a Class A office building with a stabilized Net Operating Income (NOI) of $1,000,000, and a sale price of $17,000,000. In the commercial real estate industry, it is common to say that this property sold at a 5.8% cap rate.
