Commercial Real Estate for Architects & Engineers - "A Taste of CCIM"

October 29 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT

Objectives:

  • The Architect's Role as a Real Estate Developer is unlimited and is a reflection of his historical perspective when he was known in the middle ages as "THE MASTER BUILDER" Quote from John Portman, Architect.
  • Architects are taught "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION," but the real world of Real Estate teaches that "FORM FOLLOWS FINANCE."
  • Real estate development education and training begins in the university Architecture Bachelors Program and should include real estate development.
  • The professional architect needs to invest in real estate as early as possible by investing in income-producing real estate - "Duplexes, Apartments, Shopping Centers, Office Buildings, and Mixed Use Projects."
