First is the "real property" which includes the following:
- the land (usually identified with a formal "legal description")
- the improvements located on the land
- the appurtenances (i.e. things like easements and rights of way associated with the land)
In addition to the real property:
- all tangible personal property used in connection with the property (things like furniture, equipment, or computers and is usually scheduled in detail)
- all leases
- any service contracts the buyer elects to assume at closing
The property description may also include:
- intangible property (things like warranties, permits, development rights, etc.)
- websites, IP rights, phone numbers, or social media accounts for the property
The exact list depends on context, but the key is that the "property" is more than just describing the land, and should include the real property and any personal property, intangible property, or leases, as well as any other applicable items.
As always a reminder that the info above is for general information purposes only and is not legal advice.

Casualty and condemnation provisions address two critical yet unlikely situations that could arise before closing: (i) property damage, and (ii) eminent domain proceedings. Let's take a closer look at these concepts.
Today's #CRE term spotlight: Equity Multiple. It's a less common measure but an important counter to the typical IRR standard used in many real estate transactions. Let's dive in! #realestateinvesting
The Equity Multiple represents the gross return an investor receives compared to their initial investment, regardless of time. It's a simple way to gauge overall returns based on the total distributions received relative to capital invested.
Example: An investor seeking a minimum equity multiple of 1.50x on a $1,000,000 investment would require a return of $1,500,000. This indicates that for every dollar invested, they expect to get $1.50 back in gross returns. So why is this used?
