As a result of our continued company’s growth, I am excited to see how we can expand our portfolio to invest in a company that would bring us a good rate of return. Our main business as you know is residential real estate, therefore, I propose investing in a strong commercial real estate company that would allow us to reap the benefits from the recent surge in the commercial market demand. My commercial real estate company of choice is CBRE Group, Inc. There US headquarters are located at 11150 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 1600, Los Angeles, California 90025. CBRE is one the largest commercial real estate service companies with an industry classification as real estate investment trusts. There fiscal year ends on December 31, 2013. The company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CBG.
In evaluating CBRE Group, I discovered that the primary source of the revenue for the company is real estate acquisitions, leasing and investment management. For 2013 the total assets reported was $6,998,414 and the total revenues was $1,106,076. The total cash and cash equivalen...
This case study examines various real estate contracts – the Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) and two addendums labeled Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2 – pertaining to the sale of 1234 Cul-de-sac Lane in Orem, Utah. The buyers in this contract are 17 year old Jon D’Man and 21 year old Marsha Mello; the seller is Boren T. Deal. The first contract created was Jon and Marsha’s offer to purchase Boren’s house. This contract was created using the RESC form, which was likely provided by their real estate agent as it is the required form for real estate transactions according to Utah state law. The seller originally listed the house on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS); Jon and Marsha agreed that the asking price was too high for the neighborhood (although we are not given the actual listing price), and agreed to offer two-hundred and seven-thousand dollars ($207,000) and an Earnest Money Deposit of five-thousand dollars ($5,000). Additionally, the buyers requested that the seller pay 3% which includes the title insurance and property taxes. After the REPC form was drafted, the two addendums were created. Addendum No. 1 is from the seller back to the buyer, and Addendum No. 2 is the buyer’s counteroffer to the seller.

The first method we will review is the accounting method. Through this accounting approach we will analyze specific ratios and their possible impact on the company's performance. The specific ratios we will review include the return on total assets, return on equity, gross profit margin, earnings per share, price earnings ratio, debt to assets, debt to equity, accounts receivable turnover, total asset turnover, fixed asset turnover, and average collection period. I will explain each ratio in greater detail, and why I have included it in this analysis, when I give the results of each specific ratio calculation.

Cash flow throughout the company is broken up into cash generated by operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. A company’s operating activities are typically what generates more cash and that stays true for J.B. Hunt. J.B. Hunt generated $873 million in 2015, a $226 million increase from the $647 million amount earned in 2014 (10-k, 22). This large increase occurred due to a few occurrences over the year.

.Given the choice between two investment properties—both 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,700-square-foot single family residences listed at $125,500, one a turnkey in Stockton, California, and the other a fixer-upper in Chapel Hill, North Carolina—and the singular goal of turning the maximum profit on my investment, I would choose to purchase the Chapel Hill home. Because I believe that the listing price of that property is lower than its true value, and because I expect a growing real estate market to increase the value of the home by 10 percent over the next two years, I think that with an additional investment of $50,000 in renovations and a two-year buy-and-hold rental strategy, I could flip the Chapel Hill home for more than $180,000 in profit.
