Real estate can be one of the most effective investment vehicles out there when it comes to generating recurring, passive tax-favored cash flow along with the potential upside when property values increase. The largest institutional real estate companies have traditionally been all but inaccessible to retail clients and until recently, other than through REITs, the average investor had little chance of participating in these large commercial opportunities. That is now changing – fast forward to today, sponsors and syndications have changed dramatically. Join Maureen and John to understand how advisors can provide the same quality real estate investments to their retail clients that were previously accessible to only pensions and endowments.

A certified valuation uses more than just EBIDTA and a multiple to derive value. For most businesses moving though the five stages of business is the greatest factor for increasing enterprise value and stability. The evolution of who is responsible for separate core functions, decreasing risk, increasing standardization of processes, and reporting is key. Melisa and Shelley will review EBIDTA/multiple/valuation and then share a method to facilitate team alignment and empowerment, refine the directions of the company, and lay the foundation to create efficient, targeted implementation plans for the business that increase the value and stability.

The EPI community is home to advisors from across the industry, with different entering disciplines and varied goals for how they will integrate exit planning services into what they do. For many, they tack on exit planning services to their existing firm and product. For some, they take the plunge and create standalone firms fully dedicated to provide exit planning and value growth services as their exclusive offering.
This is no small feat. It demands a high level of entrepreneurship, leadership, and organization. This month, we are thrilled to have a successful expert who accomplished just that. And, this session will give you the insights you seek and an open-mic opportunity to ask your questions, share your knowledge, and develop best practices.
