Risks Management

•Staff

Real Estate challenges

specializing in Real estate is expensive •Even if you outsource construction, you need more staff • Board and staff relationships can strain •Have to be a market expert to acquire and sell property • Very hard to produce enough operating income to cover additional staff, much less help with existing operations

• Preservation and profit compete • Resource intensive • Without doing an entire

neighborhood, you don’t control comps, infrastructure • Risks multiply with environmental concerns, market fluctuations • Some properties are worth less than $0 • Every neighborhood has a different target buyer, and you don’t have the marketing money to reach them

Ideas

•In kind donations have never been a source of savings •Prefer to pay for work and products and have vendors

make donations-- cleaner for taxes and benefits operating •Allow us to develop new expertise •Having rehab experience makes it easier to deal with the private market •Sometimes you can use real estate know-how to get a private developer to save a property instead of you!

•Also builds relationships with new donors P.O. Box 13358 Macon, GA 31208 Ph: 478.742.5084 Fax:478.742.2008 www.historicmacon.org
