Sample Documents
Following are a few of the documents that I have written, available here at the gracious permission of the owners. These are sample documents and, while not redacted, only a portion of the full documents are presented here. If you download anything, please keep the information confidential and use it only to analyze my style.
Learn To Rehab
A Real Estate Investor Training Program. This document is a 227-slide PowerPoint deck. It is used in a multi-week investor training series to provide entrepreneurs the basics about residential and small-commercial building rehabilitation.
This small section of the document talks about residential flooring construction and repairs.
My development of this document included research of applicable U.S. building codes such as the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association Code), NEC (National Electrical Code, NFPA Section 70), and various organizations that discuss best practices in residential construction. I created the PowerPoint templates, all of the graphics, and all of the textual material.
Keep in mind that this document is used in a classroom setting and is more or less an outline of discussion points used by a professional instructor, and not intended to read like a book.
Amplus / Advecta
A Property Management and Real Estate Investment Firm. This document is a prospectus/white paper directed at average-wealth investors. The premise of the offering is that the investment manager acquires properties for rental, fully rehabilitates them, and puts long-term tenants into them.
The investor funds the purchase and rehab expenses of the acquisition, and is paid a fixed percentage return over an agreed-on term of less than 10 years. This allows individuals with average means to participate in the real estate investment marketplace and to receive a stated return on the investment.
My development of this document included research of U.S. Securities Exchange Commission regulations concerning disclosure and investor relationships, including the S.E.C. 3-touch rule and the disclaimers necessary. After interviews with the owner, I developed the document in accordance with his wishes.
Inspired Care
A Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF). This document, a small sampling of which is presented here, is used in a care-giver advertising campaign to help draw professional elder care-givers to the business.
The business itself is a highly unique CBRF, with staff that live in fully-equipped apartments attached to the actual care facility. Benefits are very high, including a non-tax meal and technology allowance, and private access to their living quarters.
Because of government privacy restrictions on these types of senior housing providers, we are not able to disclose the company name or show much in the sample document.
My ongoing work with this firm includes development of collateral materials such as business cards, tri-fold brochures, white papers and advertising materials. While this business has been operating for over 10 years, it is being re-imagined and a second campus is being developed. I will be developing the operating website as well.
