I want to know that specialized  international  investment banks can
provide equity finance to pay for "all" of the 'soft costs and hard
costs  and acquisition finance' for purchase of real  estate  property
for commercial investment  OR  the specialized  international 
investment banks can provide equity finance to pay for  only  100%  of
the 'soft costs and hard costs  and acquisition finance' for purchase
of real  estate  property for commercial investment ?? For  example 
Merril  Lynch  international investment  bank  or  www.ml.com 
organization.

Clarification of Question by shoaib-ga on 05 Mar 2005 13:34 PST

financeego-ga  commenter  please note that I have now changed  the
above  mentioned question  so as to make it  easier to understand.
Please  note that
 
Acquisition  means: "the cost of purchasing the  land and
building(HARD  COST)  to be developed".

Soft  Costs  means the following costs : architectural, engineering,
technical consultant, legal fees, application and loan fees, market
study costs, and  also  "Including  brokerage commissions, lender
fees, title insurance, recording fees, prepayment penalty, inspection
and appraisal fees, and attorney fees  and  to  pay for  "all"  other
costs  related with the purchase of   real estate property  as
"distinguished from land and hard costs".

So therefore   I want to know that specialized international
investment banks    can  provide  "acquisition  financing"  according
to the above mentioned statement   and     I   also  want to know that
specialized international investment banks    can   also  provide   
equity  financing  to  pay for  "all"  of the above mentioned  soft 
costs   for purchase of real estate property for  "commercial 
investment" ??  Thanks for that help from  Shoaib.

Your question is difficult to understand. Are you asking which is true:

A. specialized  international  investment banks can provide equity
finance to pay for "all" of the 'soft costs and hard costs  and
acquisition finance' for purchase of real  estate  property for
commercial investment

B. specialized  international investment banks can provide equity
finance to pay for  only  100%  of the 'soft costs and hard costs  and
acquisition finance' for purchase of real  estate  property for
commercial investment


If my interpretation of your question is correct, A and B are the
same. "All costs" is the same as "100% of the costs." I don't see the
difference in the two.


More generally, investment banks can make any sort of deal they choose
to make. They have many different divisions that are devoted to
finding new ways to make money. I suspect the CAN do whatever sort of
deal you have in mind... the key question is WILL they?

I don't think you'll be able to get an answer on GoogleAnswers to
whether or not an I-bank would participate in your specific deal.
