Group Ownership and Disposition Strategies

   Price: $45.

The Group Ownership and Disposition Strategies course is highly specialized and is a commercial/investment practitioner's guide to decision making strategies in the disposition of commercial and investment real estate. Agents who practice in the field of commercial and investment brokerage need to be able to assist their clients in formulating appropriate disposition strategies, and they need to be aware of the current state of the Federal Income Tax law relating to disposition issues.

The course also provides alternatives to the individual ownership of commercial and investment real estate. Group Investing is a popular alternative way for the ownership of real estate to be held. Groups formed with as few as two investors to groups with several thousand investors own a substantial portion of the commercial and investment real estate in the United States. It is important for a real estate agent or broker to be aware of the many facets of group ownership so as to protect the investors who are anticipating making an investment in a group which will own commercial and investment real estate.
