I know I would! I believe that passive income through rental properties is like the “Holy Grail” when it comes to real estate investing.
After all, investing in rental properties is as easy as buying a cheap foreclosed property, fixing it up, renting it out, then you get your passive income, and you are set for life right?
Wrong!
Think about it…
- How would you know if a target rental property is a worthy investment?
- How do you determine projected cashflow, internal rate of return, while considering factors like inflation, etc.?
- What are the risks?
- How about the legal aspects of leasing?
- How about the real estate taxes that apply to leasing?
Here’s the clincher:
- How do you avoid tenants from hell?! (or how do you deal with them?!)
Fortunately, these topics are covered in the upcoming “Mentoring Course on Leasing Real Properties” which is being offered by the Urban Institute of Real Estate by Engineer Enrico S. Cruz.
I look forward to attending this course myself! If you are also interested in rental property investing, I look forward to seeing you there!

There will be discussions on the different real properties for lease from a simple vacant lot to commercial properties and determination of what should be the rent for a particular property and how would this be determined. Also the effect of using borrowed money on profitability. Then the main topic of how to analyze various properties as to potential return on equity and accompanying risks. Covers the theories of investment analysis more particularly on return/risk analysis explaining the various methods from simple payback period method and accounting rate of return method to the now widely acceptable Net Present Value (NPV) Method and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Method.

(Please bring your laptop)
HOW TO’S OF COMPUTATIONS NEEDED IN RETURN ANALYSIS

The class will actually do the preparation of a financial template that would be usable for future investments and “what if” analysis of various rental properties. The participants, after this session, are expected to be able to prepare a project cash flow, compute for the Net Present Value and compute the Return on Equity thru the Internal Rate of return Method of a simple rental property.
Day 3
LEGAL ASPECTS OF REAL ESTATE SALES & LEASES
Lecturer: Atty. Rex Enrico V. Cruz III
Anyone who intends to acquire a peace of real estate or who intends to go into any real estate business should be aware of the importance of knowing the different legal aspects of a real estate transaction. This will prevent being swindled or victimized by unscrupulous operators and in other cases avoid misunderstandings that may result to expensive and time consuming judicial court proceedings.
This lecture will cover the basic laws on Sales and Lease more particularly on contract of sales and contract of lease, legal letters and notices, ejectment and many other legal questions.
Day 4
TAXATION OF REAL ESTATE SALES AND LEASES
In any real estate investment or project, all the revenues and expenses were estimated and pre-determined at its very start or conception, serving as the basis for the acceptance or rejection of the proposed investment. The realization of the projected revenues and expenses can negatively be affected by unforeseen events. One of such is tax penalties and surcharges that can be brought about by neglect, ignorance or incapacity to pay on the part of the investor. Considering that there are frequent changes and issuances of new revenue regulations, new and would be investors and even experienced ones should be knowledgeable and updated on the changes in the taxation rules in order to pay the correct taxes at the right time, thus avoiding penalties. Includes detailed lectures on Capital Gain Tax, withholding Tax, Documentary Stamp Tax, Value Added Tax and all taxes to be paid in connection with buying, leasing and selling real properties. This also includes what taxes to pay in any real estate transaction, basis and how to compute taxes, when and where to pay, BIR forms, exemptions from taxes.
Day 5
HOW TO MANAGE AND MAXIMIZE INCOMES OF RENTAL PROPERTIES
The common mounting problem of property lessors, who are sometimes forced to sell their properties are, among others, high vacancy, defaulting and problematic tenants, increasing cost of repair and maintenance, increasing property taxes and harsh zoning ordinances and others.
While these situations provide good business opportunities to other real estate investors who have management skills and know-how to overcome such problems, present owners should also aim to gain more skills and knowledge to avoid such unwarranted liquidation of their properties.
The seminar will cover the following topics: reasons for property management; the property management functions, objectives, organization and designations; important and must-include provisions in the lease contract; advertising; correct tenant selection; how to retain good tenants; how to solve common problems with tenants; rent escalation clauses; collection techniques; property maintenance; how to avoid unnecessary repair expenses; insurance; budgeting and recording; hiring professional property managers; management contracts; and other related subjects.
