EDI’s Commercial Real Estate "REO’S" Programs

The Wall Street Journal Online in March 2011 reported that delinquency rates for Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) Reached a new high of 9.42%.

The rate has been on an upward climb since the real-estate market began to turn in late 2007. Facing significantly lower values than when loans were taken out during the peak years of 2005-2007, a number of landlords have been unable to pay off loans as they come due.

With $300+billion in commercial mortgages coming due every year through 2015, we know the distressed asset pool is massive. We know for sure that it hasn’t been refinanced and we also know (for the most part) it wasn’t foreclosed on.

During the savings and loan crisis in the late 80’s-90’s our firm learned patience and positioning played a large part in our successful acquisition programs of:

• FORECLOSURES
• REO’S (Real Estate Owned) commercial projects that come back into portfolios via a foreclosure
• PRIVATE LENDERS & INVESTORS PARTNERSHIPS
• WHOLESALING
• LEASE OPTIONS
• TAX DEEDS
• SHORTSALES
• NOTE BUYING

In early 2008, EDI formed a non-for-profit company to model its core mission and values, The Renewable Energy Institute of Florida www.reifl.org, is a "think tank" and affiliate of the Renewable Energy Institute www.RenewableEnergyInstitute.org that was created in 2003 in the State of Texas and is currently expanding nationwide. This newly minted Florida Company joined other leading organizations in New York and California as a solutions provider across the spectrum of Green and Sustainable Development. It currently networks with the academic and professional business worlds to deliver to each client the desired results in matters related to Energy, Water, Construction, Infrastructure, Food and Agriculture. It responds with actions and solutions with the current challenges facing our planet in energy, security, health and prosperity.

In 2000, EDI began its service as part of the development team of two projects, The Grand Key Resort www.grandkeyresort.com and The Islander www.islander.com located in the Florida Keys. EDI introduced to both projects the "green" and sustainable development techniques and the implementation and promotion of their nature-based and eco-tourism programs. In addition, EDI, in joint concert with the local community and Grand Key Resort, formed the Salt Ponds Association to preserve the Salt Ponds habitat adjacent to the Grand Key Resort.
