Intro to Real Estate Development

Intro to Real Estate Development

Do you want to take your real estate skills to the next level by learning about real estate development?

 

This course will show you professional techniques and give you professional investment models to help you identify and assess single-family, office, and multifamily development opportunities.

 

Before we go further, please note that this is an advanced course.

 

This course assumes you have a working knowledge of real estate investing fundamentals and you're comfortable working with financial models in Excel.

 

If you've never worked with financial models or aren't comfortable working in Excel, this is not the course for you.  Go take my Intro to Financial Modeling course before getting started.

 

I also assume you understand the fundamentals of discounted cash flows and you have a working knowledge of IRR, yields, cap rates, etc...

 

You’ll get the most out of this if you take an introductory courses first, which you can find at the bottom of this page.

What's covered in this course:

           

•     How real estate development is different from acquisitions.

•     How to navigate the various phases of real estate development and assemble a team.

•     How to assess real estate cycles and determine market risk.

•     Learn the difference between hard costs and soft costs within a development budget.

•     How real estate development financing is different from acquisition financing.

•     How to conduct financial analysis for single-family home development.

•     How to conduct financial analysis for office development.

•     How to conduct financial analysis for multifamily development.

•     Review of key investment metrics in the development context.

•     Three real world development case studies (single-family, office, and multifamily) complete with models and step-by-step solutions.

I don't live in the US, is the material still relevant to me?

Yes! While all of the examples in the course use US properties, ALL of the concepts taught and tools provided inside are still useful for any market around the world.  In fact, I have students from over 190 countries who are learning and using the tools provided in the course to help them invest in their local area.

 

What if I don't have a real estate background?

If you missed it earlier, this course assumes prior knowledge or background.  Go take Symon He's Intro to Real Estate Investing course if you have ZERO background in real estate.

 

Why is there so much math and numbers?

You can't properly evaluate a real estate investment without looking at its numbers.  So if you hate math and don't like numbers, this course isn't for you.  Serious real estate analysis is probably not for you either. 

 

Why do you use Excel so much?

Good question.  Analyzing real estate investments involves looking at the numbers and it's easiest to do so with spreadsheets, which is why I use Excel extensively in this course.  But the good thing is you DO NOT have to build any of the models yourself.  You just need to be able to follow along and then you'll be able to use the models I give you.  For what it’s worth, these are the same models I used when I worked for a multimillion-dollar investment fund to help them find and analyze development deals. 

 

Can you make me rich by taking your course?

No way! Not just from taking the course, at least. Anyone who promises you that is selling snake oil.

 

If you take my course AND apply what you’ve learned to make smarter investments in the future, then you have a chance at making some real money.

 

What I can guarantee is that you will leave with some serious real estate investing knowledge and techniques.

 

What will I be able to do after I take your course?

 

After taking my course, you will be able to confidently use professional real estate investment techniques to evaluate single-family home, office, and multifamily development opportunities.

What WON'T I get from this course?       

•     You will not get a Real Estate License from taking this course. You can only get licensed by taking the appropriate test with the testing agency of your state and country. But what is taught in this course has nothing to with getting a license, which focuses on how to legally transact real estate deals between buyers and sellers. This course is about investment analysis.

•     I will not be evaluating your personal investment deals for you in this course. This is about you learning how to do it on your own using the lessons and the tools here. If you really want us to consult, you can reach out to me. My hourly rate is $350/hr.

What’s holding you back?

 

Are you afraid this course won’t work?  I promise you it will.

 

If you’re an advanced student you know the value of being able to evaluate real estate development opportunities. This is invaluable information for any professional to have.

 

Best of all, there is absolutely ZERO risk. Udemy gives you a 30-day money back guarantee to ensure you get what you pay for.

 

So go ahead, sign up and let’s get started.

I look forward to seeing you inside!
