Group Ownership and Disposition Strategies Commercial/investment specialists need advanced knowledge and detailed strategies to serve their client base. With this new course brought to you by the Florida Association of Realtors, you can expand your business acumen and get 14 hours of continuing education credit to meet your license renewal requirement, all for just $39.
Written by Realtor Eugene Trowbridge, CCIM , Robert L. Able, Ph.D., CCIM, and Realtor Errol L. Greene, GRI, CRS, CRB, the course focuses on two decision-making strategies — group investing and disposition strategy — as well as core law.
Group Investing Group investing is an attractive alternative for owning real estate. Groups comprised of as few as two investors to several thousand investors own a substantial portion of the commercial and investment real estate in the United States. Our course provides you with details on the many facets of group ownership so that you will be able to advise your investors of the special considerations associated with multiple-owner projects. After completing this course, the commercial specialist will be able to:
- know the laws and the regulations that affect group ownership decisions in commercial and investment real estate
- determine the different forms of group ownership present in the marketplace today
- determine what actions should be taken by the real estate licensee to protect the investor public
- demonstrate when it is imperative that the licensee seek competent legal and accounting advice
Disposition Strategies One of the three phases in real estate investing is the disposition phase. Licensees 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.
After completing this section, the licensee will be able to:
- know the law and the regulations that affect the disposition phase of commercial and investment real estate
- determine when they are in position to analyze the different investment strategies in the disposition of commercial and investment real estate
- determine when it is advisable to suggest to their clients that they seek professional legal and accounting advice
- recognize when a tax deferred exchange is a possible strategy for clients
- recognize when an installment sale is a possible strategy for their clients
Successful completion of this online correspondence course will satisfy the Florida Real Estate Commission's requirement for real estate licensees to complete 14 hours of continuing education (including 3 hours of Core Law and 11 hours of Specialty Credit) each renewal period. You don't have to complete the Course in one sitting; the site is fully interactive and will recall your answers and provide status during future re-entries.
