The follow
ing post has two assignments namely;
1.Real Estate Acquisition
Feasibility Report Memo style
A feasibility study is a prelim
inary study undertaken before the real work of a project starts,
in order to ascerta
in the likelihood of the project's success. It is an analysis of possible solutions to a problem and a recommendation on the best solution to use.
By present
ing a complete picture of a situation and then us
ing that
information to propose effective solutions to problems that you f
ind, you establish your credibility. Your goal is to show your readers that your ideas are sound because you have done thorough background research and presented
information clearly and fairly. A variety of sources will also add credibility to your report because you will be able to show that you did an exhaustive study of the situation prior to mak
ing suggestions.
Discuss the methods used to obta
in facts about the alternatives.
You are a Vice-president of Acquisitions and you know that your company is always search
ing for some prime real estate
in which to
invest. After one of your monthly status meet
ings, you privately tell your CEO that you have been research
ing some properties and ask if he will accept a feasibility study from you, detail
ing what options are out there. You also tell him that you want to spearhead the project and the subsequent acquisition. He tells you that you have always been a real “go-getter” and says that he will expect the report on his desk
in two weeks. “You have already done some prelim
inary research, I assume, or you wouldn’t be ask
ing me to write the report, right?” he asks. “Yes,” you reply, “and all the proper
information will be conta
ined
in the report, as well as the sources I used
in order to research the
information.”
