En primer lugar os deseo un feliz y bonito 2024 a todos!Seguro que alguien me puede aclararla siguiente pregunta:Una pareja lleva viviendo de alquiler 12 años en un piso pagando el alquiler mediante transferencia bancaria. No hay, ni ha habido en todos estos años un contrato de alquiler entre inquilinos y propietario. 1. Les puede echar el dueño del piso con un preaviso de x meses porque quiere sacarle más rentabilidad alquilándolo a otras personas?2. Puede efectuar una subida del alquiler en un 12,5% para el nuevo año?Gracias adelantadas por la información.

MR1: Sigue el conflicto en el Mar Rojo. Cuatro embarcaciones, procedentes de áreas controladas por los hutíes en Yemen, atacaron al Maersk Hangzhou, un buque comercial registrado en Singapur y operado por una empresa danesa. Las fuerzas estadounidenses respondieron a una llamada de auxilio desde helicópteros de buques de guerra cercanos y, al ser atacados, hundieron tres de las embarcaciones “en legítima defensa”.La tripulación de las naves atacantes fue abatida, y la cuarta embarcación huyó de la zona. Esta agresión es parte de una serie de ataques perpetrados por los hutíes en el Mar Rojo desde noviembre, justificados por el grupo rebelde yemení, respaldado por Irán, como represalia contra buques vinculados a Israel debido al conflicto en Gaza.
MR2: El Ejército de la República Islámica ha indicado, sobre este movimiento por parte del buque de la Marina, que se trata de una maniobra rutinaria de protección después de los últimos ataques a los cargueros que navegan por las aguas del mar Rojo. “Desde 1988 los barcos iraníes han contribuido a asegurar las líneas comerciales en la lucha contra la piratería, así como otras misiones”, señalan fuentes militares.[...]La llegada de este destructor se produce horas después de que se reunieran el presidente del Consejo de Seguridad de Irán, el vicealmirante Alí Ajbar Ahmadian, con el portavoz hutí Mohamed Abdel Salam. El objetivo de dicha cumbre era “estudiar temas de interés común y de seguridad”, de acuerdo con el comunicado que recoge la agencia oficial IRNA.
A Real-Estate Juggernaut Ran Off the Rails in 2023At nontraded REITs, fundraising tumbled and shareholders cashed out as worries rose in the commercial-property marketBlackstone’s nontraded real-estate investment trust sold a 22% stake in the Bellagio, a Las Vegas casino and resort. PHOTO: HASAN BRATIC/ZUMA PRESSFrom 2019 to 2022, a new type of real-estate fund became one of the hottest fundraising juggernauts on Wall Street by giving individual investors the chance to participate in soaring values of apartment buildings, warehouses and other types of commercial property.Last year, those funds, known as nontraded real-estate investment trusts, ran off the rails. As concerns increased about the troubled commercial-property market, fundraising plummeted by the funds’ sponsors, many of them giant investment firms such as Blackstone and Starwood Capital Group.Meanwhile, redemptions soared as shareholders rushed to cash out. Sponsors were hit by so many redemption requests at the same time, they had to implement fund rules limiting the rate with which people could get their money back during such runs.Like public REITs, nontraded REITs buy commercial property allowing investors to share in their incomes and increases in value. They are also known for paying high dividends. The main difference is that shares in public REITs are traded on stock exchanges, while investments in nontraded REITs are made mostly by individuals through financial advisers.Nontraded REITs raised $9.8 billion last year through November, compared with $33.2 billion during all of 2022, according to Robert A. Stanger & Co., an investment-banking firm that tracks the industry. Meanwhile, investors redeemed about $17.4 billion through November, far surpassing the $12 billion redeemed in all of 2022, Stanger said.Redemptions slowed toward the end of 2023. But outflows are expected to continue to exceed funds raised as 2024 begins, making the business a symbol of one of the worst downturns to hit the commercial-property industry since World War II.The strain in the nontraded REIT business also has fueled a debate over whether the funds are accurately valuing the property they own. The values of nontraded REIT shares have fallen but at a much smaller amount than shares of many public REITs.Sponsors say their valuations accurately reflect the market and the property they own. But others say redemption requests are so high and the funds’ new fundraising is so low partly because investors think nontraded REITs haven’t reduced the value of their shares enough.The values have “held up while the rest of the real-estate universe has adjusted downward by a much bigger margin,” said Kevin Gannon, Stanger’s chief executive. “There’s skepticism by investors that those [values] are fully reflective of the price changes.”The imbalance between inflows and redemptions has helped push the net asset value for all nontraded REITs down to $96 billion from the peak of $110 billion a year ago, Stanger said. It also has put pressure on the sponsors to sell assets to meet redemption requests.Blackstone’s fund, the largest in the nontraded-REIT industry by far, has sold $16 billion of real-estate assets at a premium to their book valuations since 2022, Blackstone said. Sales last year included the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa and a 22% stake in the Bellagio, a Las Vegas casino and resort. Both deals yielded big profits, the company said.The good news for many of the funds is that the imbalance between inflows and outflows has been getting smaller in recent months. Sponsors also point out that conditions are improving, with many investors having a shorter wait to get their money back.“Shareholders who began submitting repurchase requests just two months ago have already received nearly all of their money back,” Blackstone said in a December letter to investors in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust.Still, if the imbalance continues, so will pressure on some nontraded REITs to sell assets. “If this thing doesn’t turn around they’re going to have to keep hitting the asset-sale button,” Gannon said.Public and private REITs have been hurt by the commercial-property downturn, caused largely by high interest rates that raise borrowing costs for landlords. While rates have started to fall, few observers expect them to drop far enough in 2024 to ease the strain in many property sectors. Commercial real estate also is facing other pressures, such as a rise in foreclosures and a decline in lending.High interest rates have removed one of the big attractions of nontraded REITs: their high dividends in the 5% range. Other investments such as bonds and certificates of deposit are much more competitive now than they were when rates were at historical lows.Nontraded REITs also have lost their appeal because their share prices haven’t fallen as much as public REITs, analysts say.Fund sponsors say their valuations are higher than many of the public REITs because they own better-quality properties. Blackstone’s December letter to investors said that its fund mostly owns real estate in hot sectors such as industrial property and data centers. “We also have virtually no exposure to challenged sectors such as commodity office…and regional malls,” the letter said.But the funds’ higher share prices give existing shareholders an incentive to cash out if they are worried that continued woes in the commercial-property industry will push values further down, analysts point out.Investors also are likely reluctant to invest new money into the funds for the same reason. They might feel that, unlike shares in public REITs, fund shares aren’t being sold at enough of a discount to justify taking a risk in commercial property, analysts say.“Investors are saying they’re not buying [the funds’ valuations] because they’re not giving them money and they’re redeeming like gangbusters,” Gannon said.
US office owners face $117bn wall of debt repaymentsPain likely to be widely spread as landlords struggle to refinance at current interest ratesBillions of dollars of debt will fall due this year on hundreds of big US office buildings that their owners are likely to struggle to refinance at current interest rates.There are $117bn of commercial mortgages tied to offices which either need to be repaid or refinanced in 2024, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association.Many of those were taken out a decade ago in an era when interest rates were far lower. Since then, commercial mortgage rates have nearly doubled, while the performance of many buildings has sunk, raising the prospect of billions of dollars of losses for investors.“It’s going to be a problem to get some of these refinancings done,” said John Duncan, who heads the real estate finance practice at law firm Polsinelli. “We’re seeing deals where even sophisticated borrowers are calling it a day and asking their lenders whether they would like to take the keys.”Unlike US home loans, commercial mortgages are almost entirely interest- only. That means developers of large properties tend to have low monthly payments, but face a balloon payment equal to the original loan the day the mortgage comes due.The expected losses at this point are on a much smaller scale than during the 2008 housing crisis. But soured loans could cause billions in losses for investors, wipe out some property developers — such as the unravelling of Austrian property owner Signa — and lead to forced sales in the already struggling office market. In December, Signa’s insolvency administrator put the company’s ownership of half of New York’s Chrysler Building up for sale in order to raise urgently needed cash.“We are in the very beginning of trying to weather the office market downturn,” said Richard Hill, the head of real estate strategy at Cohen & Steers. “This is not driven by fundamentals; this has everything to do with financing costs going back up.”Interest rate expectations have moderated since the start of November, when investors feared inflation was proving stickier than expected and the US Federal Reserve would adopt a policy of “higher for longer”. That has provided a chink of light for some office owners.Even as investors wait for the Fed to start cutting rates again, refinancings are getting done, eventually. Last month developer Aby Rosen secured a deal for New York’s iconic Seagram building, which stands set back from Park Avenue 10 blocks north of Grand Central station, following months of negotiations and after the $760mn of mortgage debt on the building had already been extended once.About two-thirds of the soon-to-be due mortgages are held by banks. Delinquencies on those loans — which tend to be backed by higher-quality or lower-leveraged buildings — are rising, but are still very low. Data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shows it remained at a rate of just 1.5 per cent at the end of the third quarter.Despite the low default rates, losses on those loans could be significant. In December, a group of US economists found that 40 per cent of office loans on bank balance sheets were under water, potentially causing problem for dozens of regional banks holding them.“People should realise that regional banks are still very much exposed to the troubles in commercial real estate,” said Leo Huang, head of commercial real estate at Ellington Management.The rest of the expiring loans on office properties are funded with commercial mortgaged backed securities (CMBS), a type of bond that typically pays more than government debt or similarly rated corporate bonds and are held by insurance companies, pension funds and individual investors.There are now roughly $800bn in CMBS in the US. Delinquencies on office loans financed by CMBS topped 6 per cent at the end of November, up from 1.7 per cent a year earlier, according to real estate data firm Trepp.“The CMBS market has done a good job of spreading out the risk,” said Huang. “But that means there will be pain to go around.”Of the 605 buildings with mortgages expiring soon, there are 224 that Moody’s Analytics estimates owners will have trouble refinancing this year, either because the properties carry too much debt or because their rental performance is poor.The former Sears Tower in Chicago, the tallest building in the world for more than two decades after its completion in 1974, is one of those on the list.Now known as the Willis Tower, there is $1.3bn in debt secured against the building due in March. Its recent annual income before interest payments was 7 per cent of its debt. Moody’s predicts that, in light of higher interest rates, owners of buildings not generating at least 9 per cent of their debt in annual income will have trouble refinancing this year.Although some of the financial troubles of office buildings and their owners are due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in office vacancies, aggressive underwriting in earlier years has also been a factor.The Seagram building generated $56mn in net operating income in 2012, the year before it refinanced into its current loan. Yet when its lenders underwrote the $760mn mortgage the following year, they estimated the building could bring 30 per cent more a year, or $74mn in annual revenue.It never has. Profit before interest payments and renovations peaked in 2018 at $69mn, and have fallen since, hitting a low of $27mn in 2022. Since then, Rosen and his firm RFR have added a 35,000-square-foot gym and conference space in the basement, including a 22-foot climbing wall, a multi-sport arena with seating for 150 and a spinning studio.Even before Rosen secured his refinancing deal last month, brokers said the building remained desirable to tenants and was 92 per cent full as of the middle of the year. But the $54mn in earnings before interest and renovations it was on track to generate for 2023 is about the same amount as in 2012.“Everyone will blame Covid [for] the losses,” said John Griffin, a professor at Texas university. “But Wall Street’s aggressive underwriting of commercial mortgage debt is going to make the situation a whole lot worse than it would have been.”

Zillow Investor Rolls 525% Options Gain Into New Bullish BetCall options turn into $39 million winners after share rallyResidential real estate seen boosted by mortgage rate peakA Zillow Group, Inc. investor appears to have cashed in about $39 million in profits on a bullish options bet from late October, rolling some of it into a wager that 2023’s real estate rally is set to continue.Call options bought back on Oct. 25 enabling the holder to buy some 3.4 million shares at $45 jumped in value as Zillow surged 60% in the last two months of the year. On Tuesday, the buyer seems to have sold them out after a 525% gain and picked up calls expiring in May that would allow them to purchase 5.1 million shares at $65.Zillow shares have jumped from around $38 to $58 since the original trade, part of a broader residential real estate rally amid optimism that mortgage rates have peaked. If the Federal Reserve cuts benchmark lending rates this year and mortgages cheapen, home buying could increase.“This Z trade was a big winner,” said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivative strategy at Susquehanna International Group. “While this investor is taking a lot of money off the table, they still appear to be convicted on the upside.” More trade details:*Trader sold 34,200 of the $45 calls expiring Feb. 16, collecting ~$46.9 million*Position seemingly opened on Oct. 25, when 35,800 of the options were bought for $7.5 million premium*Trade netted roughly $39 million*Investor then used a little more than half of the winnings to buy 51,200 contracts of $65 call options expiring May 17*New position is betting on a further 12% advance in the Class C shares from around $58 Tuesday*The trading boosted total call volume to 97,000 contracts, compared with a 20-day average of 9,900
