    What is Advanced Commercial Real Estate Analysis?

      This two-day course builds on your CRE skills and knowledge to take you the expert level. It expands upon Commercial Real Estate Analysis Foundations, although that course is not a prerequisite.

      Advanced Commercial Real Estate Analysis provides an overview of the CRE industry and a review of CRE valuation concepts and investment return analysis. We will also review mortgage concepts, debt capital markets, and explain construction lending and permanent financing for CRE properties. The program then dives into lease contracts, securitization, and other financing techniques. The course concludes with a discussion about current technology and the sharing economy, the impact of these two factors on property types, and the outlook on the future of the CRE industry and market. Case studies and group projects will be included throughout both days of the course.
