What our students say
The course was very exciting. I enjoyed every bit of it. I have not only gained an understanding of how real estate development project works, but I have also learned about how to model and value real estate development projects. Above all, I have learned how to build really dynamic models that are sensitive to time periods which has already helped me in a model I'm currently building.

The Real Estate Financial Modeling course is presented by technical experts in a way that is easy to follow and understand. The course clearly lays out critical inputs and assumptions needed to create a solid model.
Paul Henderson
This course is centered around building a model for a real estate development, but really should be taken by anyone, regardless of their interest in the real estate sector. The course introduces new concepts such as project finance, joint ventures and financial waterfalls, which help to broaden your scope and gives additional practice in complex model-building. Highly recommended!
