2014 Welcome
Welcome. Once again to Las Vegas and to another great REISA event—our 2014 Annual
Conference. As you will see Sunday night, this conference will be a historic one for us. Stay
tuned. Our 46 sessions, including seven plenary (general) sessions combine the best of
experience and education—not to mention networking opportunities galore. It’s our hope
that here you can find the one-stop even shop to provide you with the tools and access to
grow both personally and professionally. Here are a few features we feel you should note:
•Keynote speakers: opening—Amy Lynch (marketing to the next investor generation) and
our closing keynoter NFL great, Terry Bradshaw (word is out he gives a “don’t miss” speech)
•Many sessions will touch on the new regulatory developments, and some sessions will do this in-depth. Look closely at the Legislative & Regulatory session line-ups to make sure you take advantage of this information
•For RIAs, we have added several dedicated sessions, including a number of top producers providing insight into how they build their business and assist their clients.
•Our BDAC (Broker-Dealer Advisory Council) meets Tuesday with a provocative
analysis of due diligence firms
•Attend one of REISA’s committee meetings on Monday during lunch, and learn
how to become more involved in your association’s planning
•Hot topics: we’ve got the latest on 1031s, insurance, regulatory developments,
social media and sales technology, and REIT and BDC developments
Whether you’ve been with REISA at all 11 of our annual events or you are relatively new
to our family, this year ’s program truly has something for everyone. REISA’s conference
reputation continues to grow as the “go-to” events for everyone in our industry. Attendance
continues to rise with more than 150 broker-dealer firms and over 800 participants. As a
result, all of our exhibits for 2014 were sold out with more than 70 companies/firms exhibiting
this year. So, if you’re a sponsor or affiliate planning for 2015, you should move your plans
forward for next year now.
Putting an event like this together involves a lot of effort and people. Our cast of volunteer
program participants has dedicated significant time and resources to ensure you receive the
highest quality programming available in the industry. Our core team of more than 40 industry
leaders, making up our Conference Planning and Education Committee, aims to provide fresh
presentation ideas and relevant content at this conference and in the future.
We wish you a great conference experience,

it? How is debt handled in a Section 1031 Exchange? There are multiple ways to identify
property in a Section 1031 Exchange; how do you make sure you have done it right?

1031 Exchange: Asking the Right Questions & Client Suitability
This panel will discuss the process that you should go through when determining
whether a client is suitable for a 1031 Exchange. Is a 90-year-old widow with a high
debt/low basis property the most or least suitable for a Section 1031 Exchange? How
do you “establish” suitability? This program will cover whether or not a Section 1031
Exchange should be utilized by an investor. It will examine what other appropriate factors
should be considered when making this decision. When is the right choice to pay the
tax? What information should you request and keep in your file? How do you make sure
that the regulators with 20/20 hindsight do not say you were wrong? When should you
take cash out of the exchange? CFP, DPP

Fundamentals of DPP
This DPP Core Course will identify and discuss aspects of the typical offering structures
and the corresponding related potential benefits and risks associated with investments in
DPPs. Includes investment process of sales, suitability and required disclosures. Panelists
will identify how certain rules and regulations apply to the various types of offerings and
how due diligence can be critical in the process to identify potential risks. DPPs cover a
wide variety of industry sectors, including real estate, energy, equipment and commercial
debt; and they also have a low correlation with other securities and consequently can
provide further portfolio diversification. DPP offerings are sold as restricted securities, and
they can be risky investments, difficult to value and illiquid. This session will also addres the
legal, tax and regulatory issues surrounding DPP offerings. DPP

1031: Replacement Property Due Diligence
This panel will discuss how you determine the right type of property and diversification
that will most benefit your client. There are significant differences between net lease
structures and master lease structures. Even if they are the same structure, is a CVS deal
the same as a Walgreens? Further, are there differences between residential, retail, office
and assisted living in a master lease structure? Do you match asset class to the client?
What about changes in interest rates? What if there is a morely likely than not opinion?
How do you review the sources and uses, especially if details are buried in the PPM to
determine how much boot the client will recognize? When making this determination,
how should your allocation to these different assets groups be structured? Is cash flow
always the main focus? We are in a new cycle now, how do we not make mistakes that
were in the last cycle? CFP, DPP

What Broker-Dealers and Reps Should Know
about Liquidity Events: A Call to Action
Non-traded offering liquidity event totaled $9.72 billion for 2012, $17.02 billion for
2013 and YTD through the first quarter completed or pending liquidity events totaled
approximately $5.76 billion. As these non-traded liquidity events increase in velocity
and program life cycles shorten, what considerations do advisors and broker-dealers
need to make to ensure clients are prepared and have the best financial outcome?
How do you determine where the recycled funds should be deployed? Recent
statistics show an average 40-50% of the dollars that go full cycle are re-deployed into
new non-traded offerings. Is this ideal/acceptable? Should more of the recycled capital
be placed back with the proven sponsor, or should it be diversified without regard to
sponsor past performance, but with a focus on other key considerations? This session
will also explore some of the important preparatory measures that can help make the
liquidity process go smoothly for advisors, broker-dealers and clients. CFP, DPP

Equipment Leasing — The New Landscape:
How it Fits in Your Client’s Portfolio
In this panel discussion, learn how equipment leasing programs in the market today have
undergone dramatic changes in their fee structure and overall investment objectives.
Broker-dealers and advisors who utilize these programs have found equipment leasing
to be a valuable tool in portfolio asset allocation. With liquidity events, cash flow and
shorter hold periods, equipment leasing fits alongside your REITs and BDCs. Equipment
leasing programs also provide an attractive risk adjusted return by way of ownership of the
underlying assets in the portfolio. Learn how this non-correlated asset class can fit in your

Real Estate Market Outlook: Trending Toward Opportunity
We examine the current state of the real estate marketplace and explore the shifts occuring
in the industry. While core/stabilized investments have been the focus over the last five years,
taking advantage of low interest rates and compressing cap rates, there is significant discussion
regarding a shift to opportunisitc investing. Institutions have adjusted their allocations based
on their perspective of the real estate market. How and why are these institutions making
their investments? What does this mean for the alternative investments securities industry?
How can broker-dealers and advisors use this information to position themselves in the

conversely, the exposure of now applying these to your practice? CFP, DPP

BDCs continue to grow as an integral part of investors’ portfolios. How will they react and

other credit investments like high yield bond funds and floating rate mutual funds? Does
an illiquid premain remain in the U.S. middle-market? What will happen if/when banks start

The Anatomy of a Successful Oil & Gas Program
For those who are interested in private energy developments, this is a session you will not
want to miss. With all the grumbling from broker-dealers and regulators about oil & gas
product performance, this session will explore the characteristics of private non-traded oil &
gas programs that have performed well for investors and why these programs are different

While this panel will explore the characteristics of performing and non-performing drilling
programs, this panel will also take a look at the characteristics of performing programs
within the income and private equity segments of the private energy market. This session
is intended to appeal to a wide spectrum of conference attendees, including (i) reps and

Emerging Energy Products and Structures:
A Closer Look at Energy-Focused BDCs and Non-Traded MLPs
While tax-designed drilling programs have garnered interest from attendees at prior REISA
conferences, public and private “non-traded” MLPs appear to be one of the newest
emerging product structures in the retail investment arena. These products combine some
of the traditional income tax benefits associated with up-stream drilling programs with
opportunities for long-term capital gains driven by the development of oil and gas leases
and liquidity events sought by the program sponsors after oil and gas reserves within the
leases are established. As such, we’ll explore the features of non-traded MLPs and how
these products compare and contrast to their public product counterparts. In addition to
the non-traded MLPs, we will also survey the latest developments in energy BDCs and why
these products are garnering significant interest from retail investors. DPP

The federal-funds rate may increase more rapidly than expected (from Janet Yellen)
and stocks may be due for a significant correction (from Alan Greenspan). With today’s
investment landscape changing rapidly and perceived investment risk on the rise,
deploying alternatives which are not correlated with the broad stock and bond market
may be an effective strategy. Alternatives offer a host of benefits and have historically
been used to build more resillient investment portfolios.
Hear from advisors and industry professionals who have developed successful alternative
investment marketing and sales strategies. Complex products require clarity and expertise,
and your clients are looking to you for expert guidance. The professionals on this panel will
share their real-world insight and ideas for successfully integrating alternative strategies into
client portfolios. DPP

Real Estate Investing Around the World: What Every Broker-Dealer
and Advisor Should Know about Investing in Global REITs
Most non-traded real estate investment funds focus soley on domestic assets. But with
75% of the world’s investable real estate being outside the U.S., a few funds also seek
assets abroad where real estate cycles, and opportunities, differ from those in the U.S.
In this interactive session, you’ll hear two global REIT investment sponsors talk about
their expertise in political, currency, legal/regulatory and macro-economic factors that are
required to build an effective global portfolio. CFP, DPP

Preparing for a Liquidity Event: Liquidation Strategies and Rationales
Non-traded REITs have seen tremendous liquidity. Over the past two and a half years, we
have seen approximately $32.5 billion recycle as a result of liquidity events. Liquidity has
resulted from increased M&A activity, portfolio sales and listings on national exchanges.
Although all of these are potential options, a number of factors need to be evaluated by
executives and Boards to assess which approach maximizes shareholder value. This
session will provide you a glimpse inside the board room to understand the complex
factors that need to be considered when preparing for a liquidity event: Liquidation
strategies & rationales; Considerations in positioning your portfolio in advance of a liquidity
event and those factors limiting options; Executive/Board perspective & considerations;
How much does the sponsor influence share price upon a listing (Institutional support)

Building a Sophisticated Intitutional Quality Real Estate Portfolio
Building a sophisticated, institutional quality real-estate portfolio doesn’t happen by
accident. Many factors such as operational expertise, macro/micro economic drivers,
product availability, competition, capital sources and financing each play a significant
role. East asset class carries its own unique risk characteristics and managing these
begins in underwriting. This panel will drill down to the unique risk characteristics of
several assest classes and how they are managed. The panel will address how they
underwrite, structure and manage the portfolio with an eye on the exit.
We will discuss: 1) How effective is the acquistion criteria in attracting the right deals (and
helping to screen out marginal deals which was time?) 2) How effecitve is the outreach to
brokers, lenders and owners (as since everyone has access to the Internet and most sales
are “best and final” auctions with 20+ buyers), what are you doing consistently which gives
you an edge? 3) How quickly are marginal deals killed? (If left to hang around, they take
up time and hence money; they clog the system?) 4) How is the flow of equity matched
to the reality of the acquistions market (as having to buy at the wrong time and kill the
effectiveness of a system)? 5) When in the acquisition process is the counter balance of
property management, property leasing, construction, asset management and finance?
Too early and they are wasting time on marginal deals. Too late and the train has left the
station; there is no way to kill a bad deal. If some departments are politically weak, do you
have inmates (acquisitions) running the asylum?

liquidity options exist for non-traded REITs, TICs, DSTs, LPs and LLCs? What are the
reasons that investors need liquidity prior to a traditional “liquidity event?” What should a
broker-dealer do to assist a client who needs liquidity due to one of the “Four Ds:” death,
divorce, debt and disillusionment? Who are the players in the Secondary Market and how
do they operate? How long does a transaction take and what is the cost? What should you

Strong & Growing
Whether it’s looking at the bottom line, the percentage mix of our
members, the participation of our sponsors, the attendance at our
events, or any one of the other metrics we watch, it’s all about the
numbers to me. And the numbers are looking really good!
So what does this all add up too? To me it adds up to the strongest
alternative investment securities association in the industry. It means you
are a part of an association that has grown from a one product focus
in the beginning to encompassing all alternative and direct investments
the securities world has to offer. We are no longer just real estate
with some oil and gas thrown in. We are alternatives!

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Terry Bradshaw
Four-Time Super Bowl Champion
Two-Time Super Bowl MVP
Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee
At a time when business is experiencing very serious challenges, perhaps it’s time to go back to
basics and take a closer look at what makes people successful despite disappointment, adversity, and relentless competition. Legendary Hall of Fame Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, a success
both on and off the field, shares with audiences his strategies for maintaining success through
persistent self-improvement. All of us, he says, want to better ourselves, to learn about ourselves
and to apply that learning towards a common goal. Bradshaw invites audiences to think in new
ways about sacrifice, pain, competition, and adversity, while giving specific examples of how to
focus the power of dreaming, thinking, and strategizing towards goals and success.
The only NFL player with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Bradshaw continues to defy an
easy pigeonhole. A four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback (Pittsburgh Steelers), two-time
Super Bowl MVP and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee. An award-winning broadcaster for
FOX on Fox NFL Sunday. An enduringly popular actor, recently in the comedy romance Failure
to Launch. Add to that gospel/country singer motivational speaker, New York Times best-selling
author, breeder of championship quarter horses…
No one can spiral them into the end zone like Bradshaw…
The first player chosen in the 1970 draft, the 6’3” Bradshaw became one of the most prolific
quarterbacks in history. He was the first quarterback to win four Super Bowl championships
(1975, 1976, 1979 and 1980), making him a perfect 4-0 Super Bowl play, an extraordinary feat
that has only been duplicated once, 10 years later, by Joe Montana. In those four performances,
he completed 49 of 84 attempted passes (nine for touchdowns) for 932 yards (second all-time),
with just three interceptions while amazingly calling his own plays, something rarely done when
Bradshaw played and unheard of in today’s NFL. He still holds the Super Bowl passing records
for average gain per attempt in career (11.10 yards) and average gain in a game (14.71 yards in
Super Bowl XIV). Bradshaw, a two-time Super Bowl MVP (Super Bowls XIII and XIV), was a fourtime All-Pro. He retired prior to the 1984 season.
Widely acknowledged as today’s preeminent NFL studio personality, Bradshaw segued to broadcasting as a guest commentator for CBS Sports’ NFC postseason broadcasts (1980-82). He
joined CBS Sports as an NFL game analyst in 1984, then became a studio analyst on The NFL
Today for four seasons beginning in 1990. Currently his dual rose as co-host and analyst on
Fox NFL Sunday, he has been a primary force in making the show America’s most-watched,
and four-time Emmy Award-winning, NFL pregame program. In 2006, the nationally prominent
Davies-Brown Index rated Terry to be the best-known broadcaster in all of sports. His work on
Fox NFL Sunday earned him Sports Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst
21
category in 1999, 2001 and 2009 and he was named TV Guide’s Favorite Sportscaster in 1999.
This hard work and dedication has made Bradshaw one of the most sought after personalities for
TV talk shows and he has appeared on virtually every show on air, including numerous appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Along with his broadcasting career, Bradshaw has appeared in several feature films, most recently
Paramount’s $100 million hit Failure to Launch, starring Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica
Parker and Kathy Bates, also lending his unique voice to the $250 million grossing animated film
Robots. Previously, Bradshaw garnered kudos for his appearances in Hooper and Cannonball
Run. His television roles including guest starring spots on Everybody Loves Raymond, 8 Simple
Rules, Malcolm in the Middle, Evening Shade, Blossom, Hardcastle and McCormick and The
Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., along with his vocal contribution to an episode of King of the Hill.
Bradshaw hosted his own talk show, The Home Team with Terry Bradshaw, the first talk show ever
to debut simultaneously on network and syndicated television. Most recently, Bradshaw starred
with Charisma Carpenter and Nicholas Brendon in the ABC Family telefilm Relative Chaos.
Bradshaw launched a successful singing career by recording four albums, two of which were
top-selling gospel records nominated for Dove Awards. His cover of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry became a Top 10 country hit. He recorded a children’s holiday album entitled
Terry Bradshaw Sings Christmas Songs for the Whole Family. He has also worked with superstar
Willie Nelson on a cut for the NFL Country record which paired current and former NFL stars with
renowned country artists.
An author of five books, Bradshaw easily brings his signature charm and charisma to the written
page. They include his acclaimed autobiographies, Looking Deep (1989), It’s Only A Game (2001)
and Keep it Simple (2002), No Easy Game (1973) and Terry Bradshaw: Man of Steel (1979). As a
widely sought after motivational speaker, Bradshaw speaks to Fortune 500 companies and major
corporations across the country. Energizing and motivating with his inspirational style, charisma
and personality, Bradshaw has become most sought after sports personality speaking today.
A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Bradshaw attended Woodlawn High School, the program that
also produced former Buffalo Bills quarterback Joe Ferguson. He went on to attend Louisiana
Tech, where he still holds the single-season passing and total offense records. He was a firstteam Associated Press All-America as a senior in 1970 and later that year received a Bachelor of
Science degree in physical education from Louisiana Tech.
Bradshaw has racked up numerous awards and honors during his long, diverse career and his
work on behalf of those less fortunate has helped raise a tremendous amount of money and
awareness while earning the gratitude and respect of countless charitable organizations. He was
named NFL Player of the Year by The Associated Press, Sport magazine and the Maxwell Club of
Philadelphia following his 1978 season with the Steelers; in 1979, he shared Sports Illustrated’s
Man of the Year award with Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was inducted into the
Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. In 1993, he won the NFL’s Bert Bell
Memorial Award for significant contributions made to the league. In 2001, Bradshaw added yet
another prestigious distinction with the NFL Alumni’s Career Achievement Award. Outside the
realm of football, he was named 1999’s Man of the Year by the Big Sisters of America, 2000’s
Father of the Year by the National Father’s Day Council, and in October 2001 became the NFL’s
first and only player to receive a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
Bradshaw spends his time at his home in Oklahoma and has two daughters, Rachel and Erin.

Profile: Coachman Energy Partners LP
Coachman Energy is a privately owned energy company actively acquiring mineral lease and Working
Interest positions in the Bakken Shale and other unconventional oil plays throughout North America.
Collaborating with its technical team that averages 35 years experience developing and managing multibillion dollar exploration and development projects across the globe, Coachman’s principals identified the
Bakken’s potential in 2006 and were among the early investors to acquire mineral acreage in the play.
Today, Coachman’s asset portfolio includes working interest positions in ~25,000 net mineral acres, a
significant drilling inventory of proved undeveloped (PUD) drilling prospects, and producing assets in North
Dakota, Montana, and Colorado. Coachman’s asset management philosophy can be summed up as
“acquire, drill, harvest, recycle CAPX, then drill some more.” Coachman does not simply buy-and-hold like
most other non-op oil companies. Instead, Coachman approaches oilfield development like the majors,
starting with owning the mineral leases––at the fund level. The end goal is to build value through the drill
bit––proving up reserves in the ground on behalf of its capital partners.

Hamilton Point Investments, LLC is a multifamily real estate investment company that owns and
manages apartments through a series of self-liquidating private equity investment funds. The firm
targets investments with strong prospects for both cash flow and capital appreciation, with purchase
prices at meaningful discounts to replacement cost. The 5-year investment funds seek to provide
accredited investors a targeted 8% annual distribution and capital appreciation sufficient to achieve a
potential 18% IRR over the fund’s life. The company also undertakes select DST exchange-property
transactions with an emphasis on low property cost relative to replacement cost, conservative
underwritten net cash flow based off of historic income rather than projected, and use of amortizing
mortgage debt. In all cases, the fund and DST sponsor fee structure is among the lowest in the
industry. Hamilton Point Investments’ opportunity funds, DSTs and affiliates own and manage over
4,600 apartment units and employ over 90 people.

Hamilton Point Investments is raising $60,000,000 for HPI Real Estate Opportunity Fund

Since the real estate crash, Hamilton Point Investments and affiliates have

Profile: MVP REIT, Inc.
MVP REIT, Inc. is the first and only REIT in the United States, traded or non-traded focused on the
parking asset class. The investment strategy is to acquire a diversified portfolio of parking lots and
parking structures nationwide. MVP’s executive management team believes the parking asset class may
offer a potential hedge against inflation and low operating costs within a highly fragmented industry.
MVP REIT Inc. has introduced one of the lowest front-end fee schedules in the non-traded REIT
industry, while giving back 100 percent of profits to investors upon liquidation. In addition, MVP REIT
Inc. understands the importance of a liquidity event, and therefore has set up an annual penalty fee paid
by its sponsor, should liquidity not be attained by the fourth anniversary of each client’s investment. For
more information, please call the Sales Desk of MVP’s affiliated broker dealer at (888) 687-6544 or visit

attributed to Reef’s success in timely property acquisitions and developing drilling prospects by its
highly-skilled employees who are industry leaders in discovering and drilling for oil and natural gas.
Reef’s property acquisition decisions are based on geological, engineering and other important
indicators, including such elements as established production histories, longevity, and upside potential.

and performed well in a variety of economic conditions. We believe this is because self storage as
an asset class has several unique characteristics that differentiate it from other types of commercial
real estate and make self storage a welcome diversifier in a real estate portfolio. There are now
approximately 48,500 primary self storage facilities in the United States and total self storage rentable
space of approximately 2.3 billion square feet. What makes us different? Unlike many other REITs and
real estate companies, we will be an operating business. We will acquire, own, operate and manage self
storage facilities.
