Phoenix Home Values Continue to Skyrocket for 21 Straight Months.

Phoenix Home Values continue to move upward,  with limitations on existing inventory, available land, skilled workers and record low interest rates, home are in demand.  It's getting hard to find any home that you can purchase.  Home values are getting better and the next boom is continuing.   The official bottom for Phoenix Metro Area was way back in August 2011.
CSHomePrice_History August  2010 Short View


WITH LOW INVENTORY AND TOO MANY BUYERS, THE PHOENIX REAL ESTATE MARKET IS ON THE VERGE OF A NEW BOOM IN REAL ESTATE VALUES.

With low inventory and too many buyers the Phoenix Real Estate Market is on the verge of a new boom in real estate values.
'This boom is going to be different,' according to Dennis Dahlberg, Level 4 Funding   Hard Money Lender . 'The last boom was fueled on greed of the consumer; this time it's going to be a supply problem. Over the past 6 years there was little construction or movement of dirt, leaving the Phoenix housing market starving for new homes. Additionally, home values are raising dramatically, and once the current home owners get above water (have equity) they are going to want to move up. We're going to have a trifecta or the perfect storm-no homes, pent-up demand, and record low interest rates. And if you throw a little inflation on top of the mix -- watch out! Bam! its going to be a wild ride -- a wild west ride!'
Based on the data provided by S&P Case Shuller, the bottom is over (See Graph Below) and we are moving up again and this time it's going to be even bigger!  
It appears from the graph of the Phoenix House Values below, that the real estate market in the Phoenix area is heading up. Is it time to buy real estate again? How long will it take to come back to normal? Should I get out of the market and wait? These are hard questions to answer but Dennis makes these recommendations:
 Home values will not return to the trend line for another 1-2 years. Latest trend shows Phoenix back to the highs starting July 2014!
 The upturn in values are due to LACK OF INVENTORY AND RECORD LOW INTEREST RATES.
 Keep your home if possible. Do whatever it takes to keep the current home.
 Do a loan modification? HAPR 2. Its possible but there are very few who are successful.
 If you 'bail out' and let the bank foreclose, you will not be able to purchase a home for 5-7 years, maybe even never again!
 Inflation will it come back and will the value of the dollar drop dramatically? (This could change if the USA will cut spending and raise taxes,
cut medical/social security, and increase the tax rate by 45%. I don't think this will happen.)
 The amount of debt in the USA will continue to grow. The amount is very frightening.
 At this rate, in 5-7 years, it will cost $10 to buy a loaf of bread. Gasoline will cost $25/gallon. And the average starter home price
will be $600,000.
 Get out of debt; get rid of the credit cards and pay them off. Purchase only if you have the cash. Do not get into any debt.
(I sound like your mother here, but she was correct.)
 Start a side business. It's too difficult to explain why here, but the best reason is the potential tax advantage and the possible income.
Your own side business is the LAST area the government has yet to attack. Make it simple and get going. An extra $400 per month
really helps.
 If you are able, purchase quality single family homes in a good area and turn them into rental units. (Your side business?)
I've talked to a lot of people who feel that they can 'let their home go and rent for awhile'. Rental rates are lower than their mortgage rates. Yes, they are! 'We can save a lot of money by renting vs. paying the mortgage, and in 2 years we can purchase again and have a good down payment.' Well, it's actually going to be 5-7 years before your credit report looks good enough to purchase a home again. And can you really save the money? Most people will spend the money on toys. If hyper-inflation hits, like some economists predict, then you'll be priced out of the market. Do you want to take the chance? Keep your home, do a HARP 2 loan modification, and hang on -- the next 5-7 years are going to be enjoyable.

For Phoenix the bottom is officially August 2011

General Solicitations Ban for 506 Private Placement has been Removed! Thanks Obama, maybe.

Executive Summary

General Solicitation Ban Removed.

The JOBS Act has mandated that The SEC add a new section to permit general solicitation. However, this is only permitted if:

            a) all purchasers are accredited investors, and

            (b) the issuer takes reasonable steps to verify accredited investors.

Furthermore, the SEC has adopted rules that disqualify “Bad Actors” from taking advantage of the Rule 506 private placement safe harbor.

Verifying Accredited Investor Status: Reasonable Steps

The SEC has identified four possibilities for investors to be reasonably verified that are summarized as follows:

1)     Two years of tax records.

2)     A third party identification of the value of the investor’s assets and liabilities.

3)     A written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer that confirms the person is an accredited investor.

4)     A previous qualified investor that can guarantee that the person continues to qualify as an accredited investor.

Written records of these steps should be consistently maintained for each investor.

Another consideration to be taken is an extremely high minimum investment amounts (which only accredited investors would likely be expected to make).

There are no more easy forms. A simple “check a box questionnaire” or “sign a quick form” without other information about the accreditor is just not sufficient.


Disqualification of Felons and Other “Bad Actors” from Rule 506 Offerings

Another group of people who are not allowed to work in the industry, “Bad Actors,” has also been recognized by the SEC. Simply put, the term “Bad Actor” applies to people who fit into the following category(s):

ü  A misdemeanor, felony, or criminal conviction in a specific area
ü  Restraining orders or court injunctions
ü  Final orders issued
ü  Specific SEC disciplinary orders
ü  SEC cease and desist order
ü  Suspension or expulsion from membership
ü  Stop orders applicable to a registration statement
ü  U.S. Postal Service false representation

The aforementioned guidelines apply to nearly every person involved in the offering, including 3rd party promoters or solicitors. Though the task may not be an easy one, the responsibility of identifying Bad Actors  is on the Insurer and they simply must take all precautions and measures to make sure all Bad Actors are verified from the beginning.


Other Items Discussed:

On a temporary (two-year) basis, all written solicitation materials must be turned in to the SEC before they are used. Furthermore, copies of transcripts of all solicitation materials along with a log of when and how materials were disseminated should be maintained by issuers.

You are required to put in your legends (i.e. your footer) in any written communication that this constitutes a general solicitation in any Rule 506(c) offering.

If you fail to comply with and are subject to any order, judgment, or court decree you can be banned from future offerings forever.



Making Sense of All of This: My Opinion

In the past, you as an issuer were strictly limited and prohibited from discussing an offering with the public. Basically, you had to be approached by the individual and had to have a prior working relationship with that individual before you could even discuss an offering. You could be present in a conference or room but you had to keep quiet unless you were spoken to first.

For companies that were looking to raise capital through a private placement, the prior ban nearly eliminated their chances of raising capital. The ban killed and stopped most private placements under Reg. D, 506. 

Fortunately, the administration came to the conclusion that the ban was indeed a Job Killer, and as part of Obama's JOBS Act, they have taken steps to ease-up on the regulations. However, the lifting of the ban still has big hurdles to overcome in order to qualify potential investors. Before all of this, it was simple to just ask questions to investors through a questionnaire with check boxes to determine if they were qualified or not.

Now, however, the issuer is going to have to take reasonable steps to verify that an investor is indeed qualified. Frankly, I'm not certain that an investor will feel conformable with providing two years of tax returns or allowing me to check their credit in order to see if they are qualified. 

It is unclear at this point if the new 506(c) will make it easier for General Solicitations. However, I am going to try and move forward and develop the new procedures and see if we can overcome these obstacles.

When you read the new regulations and take a step back to ponder the reasoning, it appears that the Obama Administration actually realizes that the ban was a Job Killer. Yet, their response to lifting the ban may not be a quick fix to the problem. It's as if they are saying, "Ok, you can go and solicit to the public, but you greedy fundraisers need to be punished and we need more oversight on what you are doing and we need to see your marketing materials before you use them.” It seems that the administration does have a grasp on the problem but they do not have a grasp on the solution.
