Real Estate Finance (For Beginners)




Real Estate Finance (For Beginners)

- Upon completing the course, you will obtain a comprehensive understanding of how to perform a professional financial analysis for different types of real estate transactions (Buy, sell, lease, develop).

- You will know and understand the main real estate financial metrics (IRR, NPV, ROI, Cap Rate, etc).

- Chapter 8 "Apartment Valuation", is available for FREE.


- I created a course which balances theory and practice. Theory which I obtained from my two master degrees from Columbia University (NYC, USA), one Master in Advanced Architectural Design, the other Master in Real Estate Development, and while working at world renowned companies like Hines and Hewlett Packard.

- All course examples come from real deals I have made over my 17 years of experience in the real estate industry, managing about USD $ 650 million.


- Multiple downloadable attachments are provided in the forms of: Excel files, checklists, relevant web site links, global market and public companies reports, as well as case studies, for you to use for your own analysis.

- No previous knowledge of either finance or real estate is needed to take the course.

- Even experienced real estate professionals will find several chapters useful and refreshing. I have taught people with 25 years of experience in the real estate industry, including graduate level teachers, who still found most of the material completely new, useful and eye-opening.

- Although the course main focus is real estate finance, there is complementary information including land parameters, construction costs, project and broker profitability as well as market analysis information. This material is included because a financial analysis is only as strong as the information you input into it, so it is extremely important to understand the basic parameters of all the information that goes into a Pro forma to end up with a professional financial analysis.

- it does not matter where in the world you live in, all course information, material and methodologies can be applied to any country or region. Pro formas even have the flexibility of using two measuring systems (Square feet and Square meters) as well as two currencies of your choice, at the same time or individually.

-This course is the result of thousands of hours of analysis, combining world class theory, 17 years of real estate experience, half of which I worked and learned from the corporate world, the other half I learned “On the street”, by being an entrepreneur and doing deals from scratch.
