Mentoring course on leasing real properties

MANILA, Philippines - Leasing real properties offers one of the best alternatives to investing in real estate, as it is a safe, long term investment that generates cash flow and, in addition to the fact that the investment is protected from inflation, there is an actual and continuous net appreciation in the value of the real property. However, successful investments will be realized only if the investor/lessor has acquired the needed knowledge of all the rudiments of going into property leasing before – not after – deciding on buying a property.  Buying real properties for lease must only be decided after completion of a thorough investment analysis plus knowing the other important aspects such as legal, taxation and property management.  To properly guide prospective and current real estate lessors and investors, Urban Institute has designed a mentoring course on leasing real properties, which it will conduct for the fourth time on June 25, July 2, 9, 16 and 23, from 1:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m, at the Don Jose Yulo Case Room,  Conference Center, Asian Institute of Management, Benavides St., Legazpi Village, Makati City. The course starts on the investment analysis aspects including the related computation that can be done with the computer spreadsheet and the preparation of a “what if” risks analysis template that will answer instantly different anticipated adverse scenarios and determine its effect on the investment, particularly on the cash flow and return on equity. Other subjects include legal aspects of sales and leases, taxation aspect of sales and leases, and property management and how to maximize income of rental properties. The course will have as main lecturer Engr. Enrico Cruz, who has more than 40 years in real estate, engineering, construction, management and education. He is also a licensed real estate consultant and was first and eighth placer in the real estate appraiser’s and broker’s board examinations, respectively, and was invested as a “Real Estate Fellow” by the Philippine Council of Real Estate Educators. Lecturing on the legal aspects is La Salle professor Atty. Rex Cruz III.
