Operating
Marinas, Boatyards & Resorts
with or without expansion potential
Since
the 2007-08 crash of the real estate market, entitled marina and
commercial waterfront property has generally dropped to it's lowest
levels since 1992. There are a significant number of short term
interest only loans from late 2006 through mid 2008 that are now
maturing. A high percentage of these will not be financed, rolled-over,
extended or renewed adding more distressed properties to bank
portfolios. In addition, many banks have held REO marina and waterfront
properties in hope of recapturing value but now find that they
may be forced to part with them for much less than previously
anticipated.
While
we believe it will be another 24 months (Q1-2013) or so before
we see significant strengthening in this niche market, when it
does it will be too late to obtain the best deals. This property
class always reaches higher value per sqaure foot than any other
property type because of its rare, irreplaceable nature and even
rarer marina entitlements.
