Want to learn how to build professional, dynamic, institutional-quality commercial real estate development models in Microsoft Excel? This course will take you by the hand and walk you step-by-step through the entire process. This is a project-based course, meaning you'll start with a blank Excel workbook and walk away with a fully-functional, dynamic, eight-tab commercial real estate development model that YOU'VE created - from scratch.

When I was first learning real estate financial modeling, I would download real estate investment models or real estate investment calculators on the internet, only to feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the complex functions and formulas everywhere in the Excel file. And once I felt like I was getting used to one of these things, I still was petrified to touch or change anything because I didn't want to "break" the model. And honestly, even if I understood it and I believed the model was working correctly, I still had no idea if I could even trust the calculations in the first place.

If you've ever felt any of these things, this course will pull back the curtain and uncover the "Black Box" that most real estate financial models appear to be. By the end of this course, you'll be able to build a dynamic, professional-quality real estate development model from scratch, and your first one will be done by the time you finish the last lecture.

This course will teach you how to build a real estate development model the way the largest and most sophisticated private equity real estate firms look at deals. At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Build an institutional-quality, dynamic commercial real estate development model from scratch

• Learn key Excel shortcuts to double your real estate financial modeling speed

• Modify and customize existing real estate development models to fit your specific investment scenario and needs

• Confidently model key investment metrics such as the Stabilized Return on Cost, IRR, and Equity Multiple, and calculate these metrics automatically as you change manual input drivers

• Build a dynamic construction budget (including S-Curve functionality)

• Build a "circuit-breaker"to automatically fix calculation errors in your model with a couple of clicks

• Model dynamic lease-up revenue and expenses that change automatically as construction timelines change

• Build out floating rate construction loan draws, dynamic equity draws, and permanent take-out financing to accurately model any financing structure

• Build formula "checks" to error-proof your work and feel confident your calculations are correct

This course is perfect for you if:

• You're a college student or graduate student looking to break into real estate development after graduation, and you're looking to add the key technical skill sets to your arsenal that will put you head and shoulders above the competition and allow you to land a lucrative career opportunity in the field

• You're a professional in a different field, but looking to become a real real estate developer on the side and want to be able to confidently analyze a ground-up development deal

• You're an existing real estate professional looking to advance your career, increase your compensation, and break into the real estate development field

• You've bought rental homes or duplexes, and now you're looking to become a real estate developer and want to feel confident in your ability to analyze new ground-up construction projects

Here's what some of our students have had to say about the class:

★★★★★ "Great course, amazing content made relatively simple, all thanks to Justin. Thank you for making these courses and spreading the knowledge of Real Estate Financial Modeling. Really Grateful."

★★★★★ "Very clear explanations! I like the repetition through the different examples to embed learning. It's also helpful to say which shortcuts you are doing so that this becomes second nature."

★★★★★ "Fantastic course, and just like with Justin's other courses: crammed with great content and hands-on application. No fluff. Just into the materials and the mechanics. This course is rather advanced, but it covers a lot of different techniques, methods, and concepts."
