U.S. AND VIETNAM REAL ESTATE COMPARISONS<br />
Key Differences<br />
� Developed countries‟ real estate has evolved as an asset class<br />
for investments in a big way rather than for immediate<br />
operational needs<br />
� Availability of financing<br />
� REITs in Vietnam are in an early stage of development; IPG Invest has<br />
plans to start one in the near future.<br />
� In the US, REITs, CMBS and other complex instruments are in<br />
common use.<br />
In both countries, bank lending plays a big role making<br />
quality of banking sector an important factor.<br />
Differences between US and Vietnam real estate arise from different uses of<br />
real estate as an asset class and types of financing options<br />

U.S. CONSTRUCTION SECTOR<br />
� Construction activity can be divided into 3 phases: pre -construction,<br />
construction and post-construction. These 3 phases are associated with the<br />
following outlays:<br />
� Soft costs (architecture, engineering, marketing, legal, management), site<br />
development.<br />
� Hard costs (actual construction costs such as labor and materials)<br />
� Building Operations (maintenance, repairs, utilities and management)<br />
� Sector has a multiplier effect on the economy - final economic impact of one<br />
dollar spent in the economy is multiplied several times over by a given<br />
factor.<br />
� For the US, the multiplier factor is estimated to be 3.19. This is because of<br />
inter-industry connections between the construction, manufacturing and retail<br />
sectors.<br />
The economic impact of pre-construction and post-constructions phases as value<br />
generators are often overlooked and undervalued. The phases in Vietnam‟s<br />
construction sector and the multiplier factor estimate can be used to determine<br />
relation between the construction and real estate sector in Vietnam.<br />

LESSONS FROM HISTORICAL CRISES<br />
Savings and Loan crisis (early 1990s)<br />
• Regulator y changes in 1980s allowed S&L<br />
to make profits<br />
• 1981 Tax Reform Act incentivized<br />
individuals to invest in Real Estate<br />
• Massive over-building without adequate<br />
demand led to crisis<br />
• 2007-08 <strong>Global</strong> financial crisis<br />
• Roots in sub-prime lending crisis<br />
• Availability of sophisticated financial<br />
instruments kept suppliers of Real Estate<br />
well funded<br />
• Inability of home owners to pay<br />
mor tgages on over -valued homes caused<br />
crisis in Residential, then eventually in<br />
Commercial sector<br />
An overview of historical crises is important to gain perspective of evolution of real estate<br />
within the U.S. and to make comparisons with Vietnam<br />

Summary<br />
U.S. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE<br />
Value of commercial real estate investment depends upon: the expected rate of<br />
return, macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and the health of the economy, as well as<br />
microeconomic factors such as vacancy rates, property taxes, land use regulations and price of land.<br />

Summary<br />
AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING<br />
Booming CMBS market enabled rebound in U.S. real estate after S&L crisis. In contrast, a less<br />
financially developed market such as Japan’s made recovery much slower after Asian financial<br />
crisis. Same hurdles for recovery would apply in Vietnam’s case.<br />

If we assume that average building time for a property is 3-5 years, continuing investment in the<br />
Vietnamese commercial sector despite weak indicators (shown above) makes the probability of<br />

VIETNAM – KEY TAKEAWAYS<br />
� Vietnamese population‟s banking mindset creates a lack of deposits for bank lending<br />
purposes<br />
� Equity component often derived from gold or cash investment<br />
� Expensive bank debt and high equity requirements limit the number of potential owners<br />
� Infrastructure<br />
� Lack of infrastructure has limited concentrated development efforts<br />
� Government Involvement<br />
� Vietnamese Government is pushing urbanization and growth efforts<br />
� Vietnamese Government efforts to maintain rental rates despite growing vacancy rates<br />
raises concern for forced growth without underlying demand<br />
� Vietnam has a cultural deference to property -rights, making it harder to clear land for<br />

VIETNAM – MANAGING GROWTH GOING FORWARD<br />
� Financial Access<br />
� New methods of financing <strong>project</strong>s can create sustainable capital inflows<br />
� Infrastructure<br />
� Safest investments in Vietnam may be infrastructure – Public-Private Partnerships with<br />
government ensure demand for <strong>project</strong>s and this long -term “backbone” work is necessary<br />
for overall national development<br />
� Government Involvement<br />
� Government should seek measures to curb speculative construction while encouraging<br />
ownership and use<br />
� Government must be mindful of all the levers it uses (fiscal and monetary policy) so as to<br />
encourage only stable, demand-based growth<br />
� Take lessons from US Savings & Loan crises as well as the latest economic meltdown<br />
– lose monetary policy may lead to short-term explosive growth, but has serious<br />
consequences<br />
� Government needs to move to document and make explicit FDI encouragement to<br />
minimize risks of Vietnamese land use<br />
� Investment Considerations<br />
� Infrastructure and Affordable Housing are areas of growing demand<br />

Though only roughly ¼ of the population was urban<br />

efforts on infrastructure development to encourage<br />
increased urbanization of the population.<br />
We expect this to have strong effects on the demand<br />
for both infrastructure development <strong>project</strong>s (often<br />
Public Private Partnerships) as well as increased<br />
residential and commercial developments at these<br />
