Real Estate Investment Strategy

Catalog description

This accelerated course focuses on institutional real estate investment, primarily within the U.S. market. It covers real estate property level valuation and risk analysis in the context of four group cases spanning industrial, office, retail and multi-family development. These projects allow graduated skill development over the span of the course, an opportunity to apply financial and property market analysis, hone investment presentation skills, and develop skills and techniques to be an effective investment committee decision-maker. Depending on the level of prior student experience, the presenting “deal team” groups can focus on topics ranging from core market supply / demand forecasting, return sensitivity analysis, debt/equity optimization and/or sponsor/investor deal structuring features. While primarily relevant to those in the real estate equity and debt investment arena, skills and concepts are relevant across investment sectors. Prior real estate investment experience is not required.
