Today on Money Talk, we will discuss the importance of real estate in serving the mission of a non-profit.  We'll cover the history of real estate, from nomadic tribes to feudal societies to the industrial revolution to today's modern real estate.  We'll also talk about who owns American real estate, and why it matters to non-profits.  Finally, with a few examples along the way, we'll learn the best way to avoid the pitfalls of the real estate curse on the mission of a non-profit. Hopefully, by the end of our talk today, you'll better understand the real estate side of non-profits, and the importance of "place" to do the Mission.
