This course offers practical, real-world knowledge for investing in real estate. It is designed both for those pursuing an active career in the industry as well as individuals interested in building wealth through passive real estate holdings. Students learn what really drives land values, explore how market forces shape a city, and where to look for future growth. Students practice spotting investment opportunities in the lifecycles of properties, neighborhoods, and cities and study the four phases of the 18-year cycle that shapes the real estate investment landscape. Students receive hands-on training building financial models, analyzing cash flows, and measuring investment returns. Finally, students learn how entrepreneurs raise capital through debt and equity partnerships and explore strategies for successful investing.
