RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Dynamic Funds - real estate fund managers view

The way you are describing it is what a rookie landlord would try saying to the mortgage lender.

A 50 - 60% haircut is way overboard and based purely on fear and panic. Got to remember these busineses have put in a lot of money making the space their own - not easy to pack up or let the landlord take over. I am sure there will be discussions about deferral for the folks who are cash strapped but I doubt they are going to mention waiting for the stimulus money from what unfortunately constitutes the Government.

American debt (done) and plan to increase their European debt (at a much lower interest rate there if you can believe it!). This is part of their move into the European market - leverage high on the European assets at low interest rate and leverage low on the N. American assets at higher rates. That is the plan they set in motion. Who knows after this mess is over?!?
