Real estate investor donations in the 2012 FEC cycle

Real estate investor × 2012

REAL ESTATE INVESTOR plus cycle 2012 equals $1,658,494. Realtor, real estate developer, and private investor are other keys. This page does not build a property-sector total from those rows.

Parent hubs: Real Estate Investor donations and the 2012 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the investor title distinct from realtor and developer joins.

The occupation hub for Real Estate Investor lists $15.2 million ($15,226,506) under the exact string REAL ESTATE INVESTOR. The 2012 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2012, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Real Estate Investor in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.7 million. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

Investor, not agent or builder

$15.2 million ($15,226,506) belongs to this three-word string. It is not MLS membership and not a developer census. People who wrote investor without real estate, or realtor without investor, are other rows.

The 2012 slice is 10.9% of the investor-title bucket. Other cycle amounts are not listed here.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,658,494. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $15,226,506. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Real Estate Investor donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,658,494. If a later harvest revises 1,031 or 473, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($15,226,506) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

473 donors in 2012

473 donors and 1,031 receipts — about 2.2 lines per donor. Mean per donor about $3,506; mean per receipt about $1,609. A 473-donor presidential-year file can be top-heavy. No median.

Repeat gifts add receipts without adding people. 1,031 is a line count, not 473 one-time gifts.

1,031 is a receipt count. 473 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.7 million.

Searchers comparing Real Estate Investor with another occupation must open that other occupation’s cycle cell rather than rescale 10.9%. Share of REAL ESTATE INVESTOR is not share of all 2012 receipts. The 2012 election cycle hub is the page that holds the cycle’s occupation mix; this ties page holds one row of it.

Keep housing titles un-added

Cite $1,658,494 as Real Estate Investor in 2012. Cite $15,226,506 as this title’s occupation total. Adding Realtor or Real Estate Developer would mix keys.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring property titles.

Dividing $1,658,494 by 1,031 receipts yields about $1,609 per line. Dividing by 473 donors yields about $3,506 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Not a property portfolio

Real Estate Investor does not mean the filer disclosed holdings, LLCs, or a cap rate. It means the occupation box said REAL ESTATE INVESTOR. Candidate personal financial disclosures are a different system.

No ranking of housing markets, no party split, no claim about zoning. 1,031 receipts and 473 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode REAL ESTATE INVESTOR into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
