From Korea Air\u2019s office-hotel building in Los Angeles to China Vanke\u2019s 61-story mixed-use tower in Manhattan, investors from Canada, China, Australia, Germany and Singapore are sinking large amounts of money into expanding their U.S. portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>How much money? Recent reports show foreign investment exceeded $38.7 billion in 2013, marking a 40 percent increase over 2012. Proposed changes to the Foreign Investment in Real Estate Property Tax (FIRPTA) will likely encourage even more equity investments once approved. But why should domestic investors care? Aren\u2019t foreign investors aiding the U.S. economy\u2019s recovery?<\/p>\n<p>Foreign investors with ample cash and few attractive investment choices in their own countries often view U.S. properties as attractive, safe, relatively inexpensive investment alternatives, and are willing to buy these properties at a premium. The trend has the potential to accelerate CRE price appreciation much more rapidly than would be considered normal, and can put domestic buyers, who are often looking for lower-priced properties or shorter-term ROI, at a competitive disadvantage. We\u2019ve seen this happen in both the CRE and residential market before \u2013 most recently as a precursor to the housing bubble in the early 2000s. Left unchecked, we could be seeing the beginnings of another bubble, but in the CRE market this time.<\/p>\n<p>While the limited inventory of properties in prime locations increases the competition for these assets, investors need to maintain their discipline, take a hard look at the underlying market fundamentals and not stray too far from what true market value dictates. Getting caught up in the feeding frenzy and contributing to the creation of yet another bubble, as we\u2019ve been recently reminded, generally doesn\u2019t end well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rick Sharga, Executive Vice President, Auction.com: The amount of foreign capital being invested into U.S. commercial real estate has skyrocketed over the last several years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1663,"featured_media":1004101804,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37301],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004101802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
