It has been my pleasure to serve as the Executive Director of the Two Rivers REIA for two years this month. I founded our local chapter of the National REIA back in October of 2006 and, as with most associations, it takes a while to really get things rolling.

real estate investment: The operating agreement for a TIC offering - 07/09/07 08:22 PM
I'm looking for prototypes for an operating agreement for a RE TIC. I know there have to be some out there in the Real Estate world. Anyone know of any other books beside Gene Trowbridge'? The primary need is to have buy/sell provisions, a mandatory sale on irreconcilable differences clause, and provisions for what constitutes grounds for termination … (2 comments)
real estate investment: It's a Whole New Business - Gene Trowbridge -- book review - 07/07/07 09:28 PM
For those interested in group sponsorships of RE TIC's, or even securitized TIC's, this seems to be the current definitive text on the subject. A little spendy at $295, but most likely worth it. I'm only half way through but I know I'm going to get a lot of bang for investment. … (1 comments)

real estate investment: Multi-Family P&L Analysis vs Proformas - 05/25/07 08:34 PM
This is probably a question that is rhetorical -- I know the answer but I'm still fishing for a different way to state the obvious. For Multi-Family rental properties, sites like http://loopnet.com tend to offer a CAP Rate approach to property valuation. Commercial Bankers, however, tend to prefer a P&L approach, … (4 comments)
real estate investment: Cap Rates (and P/E Ratios) does not explain the whole picture. - 05/15/07 08:22 PM
I'm going to take a stab at this and invite feedback where I might have gone astray with my assumptions or calculations, although I certainly can't figure how that might happen. :^) With fundamental analysis of equities (particularly publicly-traded, common stocks) one of the key statistics that is of importance is a P/E ratio. Within certain industries, there are … (1 comments)
