Risks
Impacts of Fiscal Cliff on Real Estate Development Industry
With the combination of expiring tax cuts, new taxes, and automated spending cuts, the domesticeconomy could decline into another projected recession (4% to 5% decrease in GDP)
As a result of a decrease in GDP, disposable income, consumer sentiment, and builderconfidence may decrease
Potential Inflow of Shadow REOs into the Market
Banks and other lenders could potentially flood the market with Shadow REOs, which wouldnegatively impact the price of existing homes on the market
The increase in supply of homes caused by the REOs could skew projections based on thedecreasing supply of existing homes
Dependency on Homebuilders
High dependency on Homebuilders, which are largely driven by macro economic factors, longterm interest rates, federal intervention, and expected rental yields
High volatility in this industry especially over the last 5 years due to the recession

Industry Overview
Real Estate Development Industry Rating:
POSITIVE
Potential for increased demand from homebuilders due to favorableMortgage rates and falling supply of existing homes
Projected increases in housing starts indicate potential for revenue growthof the next few years
Overall recovery of the economy and consumer confidence may lead togains in the commercial market
Risk of another recession if policy makers allow GDP to fall due toincreased taxes
