Opportunity Zones = Defer or Avoid Capital Gains Tax
The end of the year compels many people to think about tax planning, which in turn prompts us to highlight a feature of the new tax law that could provide significant benefit to real estate investors.

If we’ve seemed a bit quiet lately…
“You never write. You never call.” Well, not exactly, but if we’ve seemed a bit quiet lately it’s not because we’re ignoring our loyal followers and customers. Rather, our email service provider hit a bump in the road over the past few weeks, so we’ve been kind of trapped under the cone of silence. We […]

Learn by Example
I’ve seen a great deal of interest in the real estate investment case studies that are part of my investment analysis video course — so I’ve spun those cases off as a new mini course, one where you can learn by example.

New Lease Renewal Assumptions feature for REIA Professional
Lease Rollover Assumptions feature (LRA) is a way for you to store sets of parameters about different commercial lease rollover scenarios, parameters which you can use over and over when entering tenant information in REIA Professional. What is the probability that a current tenant will renew? How long do you think the space will be vacant if a tenant chooses not to renew?
