A2 by CHERYL WISHLOW Real property trust is the vehicle of the future, a Castlegar syndicated real es- tate man told 80 members of the Chamber of Commerce at the Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel Tuesday noon. Jack Cooper, who has worked for Equion Securities Canada, a syndicated real estate firm, says that it's just recently that this investment. vehicle has been introduced into Canada and has been cleared by various commis- sions across the country. Real property trusts are where the trust takes the in- véstor's funds and invests in portfolios of the investment quality real estate. Investors own shares in the portfolio, which gives better diversification, es it less risky and the amounts of money. ‘Tn this situation, he said, the many investors of the one property, are not known to each other. This is what dis- the syndicated — real estate business from the ordinary business. Syndicated rea! estate is one which has been cleared by securities commissions as security. Cooper gave three advan- tages of investing in real property trust. Onc being that real prop- erty trust. is an eligible in- véstment whereas ordinary. CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 8, 1981 Real | real catate isn't. The effect is wi a person can now have a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) in real eatate. Another advantage of real property trust is that by using the capital cost allow- ance (depreciation), one can completely shelter the in- come that would otherwise be taxable, says Cooper. This is known as the Fed- eral government's Multiple Resident Building (MRB) leg- islation, which was reintro- duced in Inst October's bud- get. The MRB legislation allows an investor to use 8 capital gains tax cost allowance (de- ; preciation) to create a loss. “These losses are deduc- tible for income, therefore, the investor saves money that would otherwise have gone to taxes,” Cooper says, Real property trusts have . been in operation in England for a long time. A third advantage of real property trust is that there ts is i" demption, making it possible for an investor to cash out his inveatment at any time. One can cash out as an individual rather than trying to get every owner of the property to sell out, Also at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, was the name drawn for a trip for two. to Reno, Nev.

Or so says Herb Cohen. Cohen, a 47-year-old Mli- nois lawyer, is the author of a book You Can Negotiate Anything: How To Get What You Want. He is also execu- tive divélter' of Power 'Nego-” needs than you know about them and their needs. The second is time: the other side doesn't seem to be under the same kind of time constraints or the restrictive deadlines you feel you're under. The third is power: the other side always seems to have more power than you think you have. UNDERSTANDING 18 KEY Once yan understand these, «env mation, meet the other party's needs, try and use his ideas and also transform the relationship into one of col- laboration. And you can do this once you realize that two people in a negotiating sit- uation are not necessarily in an adversary position with each other.” Is there such a thing as a perfect negotiation? Yes, says Cohen. 4father,has tw — Condon ota by Chord Wichbew Sponsors of the raffie were Pacific Western Airlines, Sun ™, v7. 2 Agency, Chamber of “Com: merce and Delta's River Inn, Bosse also sald the cham- ber is planning to havo a casino night around March 28 in order to raise funds for better advertising promotion of Sunfest '81, which, he said may be extended to a full week this year, The Beaumark team. laund ich provinelal court.

Uhave just celebrated my 99 birthday, more or less, and in spite of appropriate pro- tests, have reccived several gifts, intluding a book en- titled ‘Insects — Allergy and ..

Most negotiators in my experience go into meet- ings with expectations that are far too low.” DON'T CARE TOO MUCH Cohen stresses that you shouldn't be too earnest — it cramps your style. You must. care, yes, but don't care that much, Bear in mind, he says, that negotiation is a game. If you do so you will get better results because your attitude will convey your feeling of power, of mastery. However, to play the game You must understand its na- ture, “Inevery negotiation, whe- ther it be a geopolitical ne- 1 gotiation or the purchase of a house, three elements are al- ways present.” The first is information: the other side seems to know more about you and your says. “The essential thing is to get the other side to seé that the Win-Win method is the best for both parties. + “To do this, you have to establish trust, obtain infor- awhile, the father intervenes.
