Omega Commercial Finance Plans to Launch European Commercial Real Estate Finance Fund Focused on EU Banks' Distressed Mortgage Loan Market

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2013) -   Omega Commercial Finance Corporation ( OTCQB : OCFN ) will be launching a commercial real estate pooled fund focused on distressed European commercial real estate mortgages in select markets such as Ireland, Spain, Italy, Greece, and London. The proposed fund will be called Omega EU Fund II, LP and is estimated to launch sometime in the second half of 2013. It seems European banks have picked up the pace on loan modifications and the disposition of distressed commercial property loans as a means to primarily clean up their balance sheets similar to what U.S. banks started to do after the 2008 credit debacle.

Consequently this financial trend within the industry has created a great opportunity for OCFN internationally to position and diversify its lending operations with prudent loan refinancing opportunities. The total volume of real-estate assets both sold or refinanced to date represents 20% to 25% of banks overall loan-reduction target, which Morgan Stanley's most recent estimate places at EUR 700 billion. The proposed Omega EU Fund will assist in bridging the gap between the discounted mortgage balance by the banks and the current stabilized fair market value of properties with two, three, and five-year term loans.

VP of Lending Holly Leide has assembled up to six refinancing requests consisting of EU banks' modified mortgage loans totaling $15-million. These loans all originate from the Bank of Ireland and specifically meet the Fund's two main underwriting characteristics, which are those having low loan to values with high debt service coverage. Jon S. Cumming IV states, "I am optimistic about the EU banking economic outlook, specifically if the loan balance is modified to adjust to the underlying property's net operating income. I have seen it firsthand how U.S. banks disposed of quality assets over the past 4 years that have made great yielding assets to other new lenders."
