As many of you know, I teach real estate investment analysis in the Master of Science in Real Estate Development program at Columbia University. About a year ago I agreed to teach a similar course at a new online school dedicated exclusively to commercial real estate: Homburg Academy.
During the past several months I've been busy recording lectures for Homburg's academic program. The more I've worked with these folks, the more impressed I've become with their professionalism and their commitment to providing quality education for our industry.
On May 16, they are launching an online e-learning portal as an extension of the Academy; the courses in this portal will be available to the public, on-demand. The launch will stream live, online.
I'm very honored that they've chosen my course as one they are including in the launch. My course is a series of ten, one-hour lectures on real estate investment analysis, where I teach basic real estate finance as it applies to income-producing property. I cover due diligence, time value of money, discounted cash flow analysis, pro-forma creation and interpretation, income capitalization, financing, as well as metrics such as IRR, DCR and NPV. I also present three case studies where I demonstrate the analysis of different property types.
Attached below is a copy of Homburg's announcement; I encourage you to check them out. Here also are some promo links distributed by Homburg where you can sign up for their live streaming launch of the the portal, and enter to win some free courses:
