Abstract 'Consortium Bank '- “A subsidiary bank created by numerous banks. A consortium bank is created to fund a specific project (such as providing affordable homeownership for low- and moderate-income home buyers) or to execute a specific deal (such as selling loans in the loan syndication market)”. (Investopedia, 2009)
The Consortium generally strengthens the individual bank’s assets to meet their objectives. All member banks have equal or proportionate ownership shares – the member with the highest percentage of shares has the leading authority. After the bank 's objective is met the consortium typically dissolves.

All these banks came together so as to invest in the Real Estate Sector that too in the East Lansing area. The main focus of our Consortium is to finance inner city and mixed-used projects.
Inner City Projects are basically for the redevelopment of the city so as to improve the urban infrastructure, financial services, land tenure regularization, enhanced community capacity and improvements in public safety. (Jackson, 2015)
Mixed-Used Projects are any urban, suburban or village development, or even a single building, that blends a combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses, where those functions are physically and functionally integrated, and that provides pedestrian connections. (Jackson, 2015)
So basically we are interested in investing in any such project that is in the well fare of the city of East Lansing as well as its residents. It can be a hospital, a residential complex, a commercial office building, a school or any such project that enhances the real estate market of the city and should be for the wellness of the residents of the city.
In this report further I am going to discuss about the Loan policies of the consortium for the Real Estate Developers.
Why is a Consortium needed?
A syndicate bank is formed by multiple banks, for a particular purpose of financing a specific project that is too big for an individual bank to finance on its own. Under this procedure the
There should be an increment or flex pay plan for the residents who are suddenly constrained with higher property taxes. This way they can gradually increase their payments, instead of their payments ballooning at one time. There should be low-interest loans or funding for established small and minority-owned businesses wanting to upgrade their business. The community should be made aware of any funds that will allow them to improve their homes and keep in line with the revitalization.
Banks are institutions in which people put their money for safekeeping, to save, to use to pay their bills, or to earn interest on. Banks are allowed to use that money to make loans and earn interest for the bank's’ owners. Different types of banks offer different types of services. For example, commercial banks originally just served businesses, and savings banks and credit unions were used by individuals, especially those who couldn’t qualify for loans at regular banks. This is no longer the case. Although commercial banks and thrift institutions used to serve different purposes, today they all offer many of the same types of services including bank accounts, loans, credit, certificates of deposits (CDs), and much more.
When real-estate development focuses on implementing sustainable low-income housing projects that help address the economic and social needs of society, it has invested in a long term and in demand project. When one thinks of low-income housing, one tends to think of section 8 and automatically invasions crime, unsanitary living conditions, and an overcrowded and loud environment. Why is this the natural assumption and vision one gets? The answer is because for many years low-income housing has brought forth residents with high stress and desperate character. Communities with higher morale and fatter wallets reject the opportunity for low-income families to live amongst there neighborhood, forcing low-income development to be consistently established in the less desirable and high crime rate areas. What if we could hide/blend low-income housing amongst a desirable neighborhood with new construction and more energy efficient designing? By developing a project for new construction that is open to the general public and is also available for state assisted families who meet low income needs, we can design an aesthetically pleasing community residents of any class will be willing to live in.
The goal for the first property purchase is to take full advantage of the current housing market and to aggressively seek the purchase of a severely undervalued property, in the $450,000 price range. This may be purchased through a bankruptcy or short sale. The property will be improved as necessary for immediate resale, with an estimated return of 10% -20% net profits. The initial investment will be returned and the profit to be retained and reinvested as described in Step 2. GP Holdings, LLC will have sufficient funds to meet the 10% equity down payment that is anticipated for purchase of the first residential property and the necessary to funds for renovations. The debt financing is to be raised through banking institutions and/or mortgage brokers. It is likely in today's market that lenders will require a personal guarantee by the
Today’s financial crisis has deeply impacted all areas of life not only in the United States, but also the rest of the world. Company giants such as Circuit City® and Merrill Lynch® have fallen victim to the financial crisis. One of the biggest industries the financial crisis has had an impact on has been the housing market. Everyday newspapers, journal articles, and television media cover stories regarding foreclosures around the country. To regain financial control of the world and domestic economy, one must begin with the housing market. There are various areas of the housing market, which allow for overhaul and maintain a prosperous future. Regulating bank interest rates and federal interest rates will reduce, if not eliminate the
The essay “The Competitive Advantage of the Inner City” by Michael Porter, addresses the crisis of inner cities, in particular, the economic distress and how to fix it. Porter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the inner city, and how previous efforts to improve the conditions of the city have failed. Many past efforts were guided by the desire to meet the needs of individuals but not the city as a whole, even programs that were aimed at economic development were ineffective because they treated the inner city as an “isolated island” (317), separated from surrounding economy which favored local small business that did not bring in outside business.
Property-led regeneration involves the regeneration of an inner city area by changing the image of the area, improving the environment, attracting private investment and improving

The document Banking Competition and Capital ratios, is some interesting material that gives the reader some insight into the banking systems and their competitions. This document makes the point of how the competition in the banking systems even at this moment have all long been subject to debates that are among policymakers and supervisors.

Bank directors are in charge of the general productivity and benefit of the branch.
