I really like the creativity of #2. Is it possible to try the "A" and "S" in a different font, just to see what that would look like. Also, another idea I was thinking was maybe turning the "A" into more of a square shape and trying to make it look like an abstract building, with maybe a line going through it horizontally, to make it look like an "A" and a building. Just an idea.
Please update the text to "realty investors" instead of "real estate group".
