<p></span></span></p>
<p>Please join us for BAMA’s November Event, a lunch panel with three major bank lenders’ perspective on the commercial real estate market. Is there a relaxing of credit that is now contributing to the flow of debt for commercial properties? Multifamily lending seemed to continue even through the bleakest times of 2008-09 but commercial real estate lagged; are banks committed to industrial, office and retail properties? Have their risk profiles changed? Are there any new property types (hospitality, senior housing and self-storage) that are being considered? How are new Borrowers being evaluated vs. 5 or 10 years ago? Does the CMBS market fallout have an impact on your business? After the panel, we will have a Q &amp; A session and invite the audience to participate in the discussion.</p>

<p>Please join us for an evening of discussion with three SBA lenders who will discuss owner-occupied and small business lending. Small business is the key to economic growth, and SBA has become an integral part of fostering that part of the economic recovery. We will explore the former, current and future roles of SBA lending. We will also provide a lively discussion of the very important financing vehicle that SBA is and where each player fits in the deal process: the CDC, 504 and 7(a). A question and answer (Q &amp; A) session will follow at the end of the panel for individual inquiries.</p>

Our panelists represent banks that are currently in the market closing deals and winning business.  Hear how they compete against Freddie and Fannie on apartments and win business on underwriting and execution.  As is tradition with our May event a BAMA past president, Michael Grausz will be moderating the panel.  Whether you have a deal to show them or compete with them for business this will be a chance to learn what works and what doesn’t for these banks that are lending.</p>

With investors shelling out over $1.2 billion for San Francisco properties in 2010, the activity is three times the $340 million in assets that traded hands in 2009, and about 20 percent higher than the 2008 transaction volume. Furthermore, the Silicon Valley is on pace to exceed $1 billion of commercial real estate volume during the first half of 2011. With these numbers racking up, and fundamentals appearing to stabilize, are we headed into a new bull market, a fractured world of “haves and have nots” or is this just a head-fake and are we in for more uncertainty or worse yet, a double dip?</p>
