Commercial Real Terms 2.0

New York City, June 21, 2007:
Rentlaw.com The National Landlord Tenant Guide announced today an updated Commercial Real Estate Glossary has been introduced.

David Dorfman, Publisher, stated that the update "covers everything from A-Z in Commercial Real Estate". From Abatement to Zoning ordinance, you can find it all on Rentlaw.com.

Dorfman first introduced Rentlaw.com in 1999. "We've come a long, long way." Rentlaw.com has always been free and our membership went from a few friends to over 100,000 at one point.

We began addressing the commercial real estate market at the request of our members and other vistors. There are many "small" landlords who have either moved up to larger properties or how have continued to buy 1-4 family homes. As such, their tax situations have changed and require more information.

We continue to add information on 1031 exchanges, Real Estate Investment Trusts and more. The world of real estate is full of knowledge.

Dorfman said, "You simply can't learn enough". You can talk to Donald Trump with his empire or the local deli owner who might own 1 or 30 rentals. You can learn from both.

"My advice", says Dorfman, "is to talk the real estate business and learn everyday."

Learn from everyone.

REIT Guide by Rentlaw.com

March 18,2007: Rentlaw.com The National Landlord Tenant Guide introduces a guide to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS).

A real estate investment trust is a private or public corporation (or trust) that enjoys a special status under the U.S. tax code that allows it to pay no or little corporate income tax so long as its activities meet statutory tests that restrict its business to certain commercial real estate activities. Most states honor this federal treatment and do not require REITs to pay state income tax. By law, REITs must pay out 90% of their taxable income in the form of dividends.

The REIT structure was designed to provide a similar structure for investment in real estate as mutual funds provide for investment in stocks

For more information on Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) see RENTLAW.COM - The National Landlord Tenant Guide.
