Dr. Margaret Latshaw heard four presentations today from our students in regard to specific recommendations to local companies to help them solve a particular real estate dilemma with which they were faced. The local firms of Goodwill Industries, Century Tel, Interstate Bakeries and UMKC took time to meet with their assigned student group and share their coporate situations as it related to real estate decisions. The students took that information and combined it with what they learned in class and made specific recommendation to them in a formal presentation this morning. The student's preparation was outstanding and the representatives of those companies each provided invaluable insight in review and comment about each presentation.
All of this was preceded by yesterdays' session of a corporate relocation expert who flew in from Atlanta to provide her methodology on helping companies with their real estate decisions as an outsourced consultant. She was very insightful.
In addition, Rudy Beese, Attorney from SNR Denton shared a large amount of date in written format with oral explanations about the multitude of tax incentives and view about the "border wars".
Joy Hays and Curt Petersen from the Polsinelli Law firm shared with us some valuable insights about green leases and the clauses to look out for with practical experience woven in.
Truly two of the most intense days of information about Corporate Real Estate practices ever presented in just two days.
Next month is Dr. Jim DeLisle from the University of Washington who will share 5 days of insights from his "work in progress" textbook on the lastest techniques and tools related to Market Analysis and Feasibility Studies in Real Estate.

The REIT Industry
This is our 5th month of our Executive delivery of the Masters in Entrepreneurial Real Estate. Today, Dr. Randy Anderson enlightened the class on what REITS are, how they are structured, their history of returns and most importantly where they are headed in the near future. Opportunities abound in this area of real estate.
