Real Estate & REIT Modeling Course Highlights In this course, you ll complete case studies of an office development and sale, a hotel acquisition and renovation, and a full operating model and valuation for AvalonBay Communities, a leading multifamily real estate investment trust (REIT). You ll start by learning the key terminology for real estate and REITs, how to model a property development, and how a REIT s financial statements differ from those of normal companies. Then, we ll move into two real estate development case studies one based on an office development and sale with a waterfall and returns allocation schedule, and one based on the acquisition and renovation of a hotel property. After that, we ll create a detailed operating model for AvalonBay that incorporates a segment-bysegment buildup (same-store properties, acquisitions, development/redevelopment, and dispositions) and a complex debt schedule. We ll conclude by completing a valuation of AvalonBay, based on traditional methodologies such as comparable public companies, precedent transactions, and the DCF, and real estate-specific ones such as the Net Asset Value (NAV) Model. After you finish this case study you ll be well-equipped to land investment banking and private equity offers in real estate groups and to leap ahead of the competition once you start working.

What Are Your Alternatives? And What s Your Investment In This Course? There are limited options when it comes to learning real estate modeling: Real Estate Financial Modeling: $600 $1,000 per Excel file; videos are separate and cost more. Wall Street Training Real Estate Development Modeling: $300. Wall Street Training REIT Financial Modeling: $750 for just a single Excel file no lessons or videos. So if you want to learn everything taught in this course elsewhere, you d be spending a minimum of $1,000 and you wouldn t even get videos walking you through it all. Yes, you read that correctly: $1,000 for a single Excel file. With the Breaking Into Wall Street version, you get more material including multiple different real estate development models, a REIT operating model, a REIT valuation, and quick reference guides for all the key concepts for just $247, as opposed to $1,000. That s a 75% discount for MORE content, material, and lessons that you can watch and follow along with yourself. Oh, and none of these courses have a built-in quiz and certification like we do if they offer it at all, it is separate and costs significantly more than the course itself. This is extremely specialized material good luck finding this level of detail online or in finance textbooks so I actually thought about pricing this higher to begin with. And in the future, the price will be going up, since $247 is still much lower than all the available alternatives. This is information that makes you far more valuable to firms, than if you simply know basic accounting and valuation for general situations. And there s more material coming potential future lessons will include coverage of REIT merger models and LBO models, and more real estate development topics. If you sign up today, you get all of this for only $247 a 75% discount plus free access to all future additions to this course as soon as they re released. But More Importantly What s the Return On Investment in This Course? As Warren Buffett says, Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. The price is $247, but what s the value of your investment? Let s run the numbers
The pay for entry-level investment banking jobs varies from year to year, but it's safe to say that even entry-level Analysts would make at least $100,000+ USD right out of university. At the MBA level, that climbs to $200,000 USD. And as you progress, your salary only gets higher and higher. By investing $247 in this highly-specialized course, you re doing several things, all at the same time: Gaining extremely specialized knowledge in a field for which there is always high demand for people who know what they re doing. Differentiating yourself from other candidates - even the very best ones with the best academic pedigrees and the highest GPAs. Proving beyond doubt to potential employers that you re someone who is prepared to go above and beyond to be the best and get results which is exactly the type of person that banks love to hire. You re setting yourself up for a job that pays a minimum of $100,000 that's a 400x return on investment. (Good luck getting that in the stock market!) Even if we re super-conservative and assume that you only have a 10% chance of landing the job after going through this Course, that s still a 40x ROI for you. And if you re working at a REIT, or in commercial real estate, or in real estate private equity, you ll be making at least $60,000, and more likely $100,000+ and either one represents a great return. Plenty of other training firms would charge you thousands of dollars for this same content, but why bother when you get a much higher ROI from your investment with us? Plus, You Get A No-Hassle Money-Back Guarantee Just like every one of the BIWS products and courses, this comes with our unconditional 12-month money back guarantee.
