What You Get... And What BIWS Real Estate and REIT Modeling Will Do For You...

This is advanced training, appropriate for both new and experienced professionals. The Real Estate and REIT Modeling course is perfect for you if:

  • You already know the fundamentals of accounting, valuation, and financial modeling, and now you want to learn how the real estate industry works in-depth.
  • You're interviewing with Real Estate groups – at banks, PE firms, hedge funds, real estate operating companies, real estate developers, REITs, or anything else.
  • You're about to start working in a Real Estate group, or you've just transferred into one and need to get up to speed quickly.
  • You're an experienced real estate professional and you're now transitioning into a finance-related role in investment banking, private equity, or anything else.

Whenever you're interviewing for these roles at investment banks, you'll always get a few questions over and over...

  1. How much do you know about accounting? Do you know how it's different for real estate?
  2. Can you walk me through how you would value a property, a portfolio of properties, or an entire REIT?
  3. What are the key factors that drive the value of a REIT?
  4. How would you describe your financial modeling skills?

Confidently answering all these questions and showing evidence of the case studies you completed will set you apart from everyone else in the interview room and put you in prime position to land lucrative internships and jobs at investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds.

We've designed the course from the ground up to help you gain functional mastery of this highly-specialized material in the shortest possible time.

Here's what you'll get, and everything you'll learn with hands-on practice via the case study of the REIT operating model and valuation for Avalon Bay Communities, and the case studies on property development and renovation. We use real SEC filings and equity research from banks like Citi and JP Morgan to support the numbers:

  • Detailed 3-statement model for AvalonBay with support for their different real estate segments; full valuation including the usual methodologies as well as real estate-specific ones such as the Net Asset Value (NAV) model.
  • Real Estate Development Lessons cover property development and acquisitions, key real estate terminology and metrics, and how to set up the construction timeline, funding sources, and analyze acquisitions and renovations.
  • 63 videos total (24 hours of footage).
  • 7 quick reference guide PDFs on key topics – from key terms and accounting through property modeling, REIT financial statements, and valuation.
  • Overview lessons cover real estate key terms, how to model an apartment complex, how a REIT operates, and how to link properties and REITs.
  • Office Development and Sale lessons teach you how to estimate building size, hard costs and soft costs, project the financial statements of a property, build debt and equity draw schedules, calculate the sale proceeds, and allocate investor returns using a waterfall schedule, factoring in developer promotes.
  • Hotel Acquisition & Renovation lessons cover how to project a hotel's financial statements, estimate the impact of property renovation, and calculate returns based on the purchase price, selling cap rate, and capital structure.
  • REIT Operating Model videos teach you how to project a REIT's rental income and net operating income (NOI) from same-store properties, development/redevelopment, acquisitions, and dispositions; you'll also learn how to create a complex debt schedule, link and project the statements, and calculate Funds From Operations (FFO), Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), and dividends issued.
  • REIT Valuation lessons cover public comps, precedent transactions, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF) and Dividend Discount Model (DDM) for REITs, as well as real estate-specific models such as the Net Asset Value (NAV) and Replacement Cost methods.

The information you'll find is so detailed and so thorough that our regular customers come from top-ranked universities, investment banks, and business schools.

What's Your Investment In The
BIWS Real Estate and REIT Modeling Course??

To put this in context, let's consider your Return on Investment in this Program...

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 in this highly-specialized program, you're doing several things, all at the same time:

  • Gaining extremely specialized knowledge in a field in which there is always high demand for people who know what they're doing.
  • Learning practical real-world skills you can apply right now.
  • Differentiating yourself from other IB professionals and students at top schools – even those with the best academic pedigrees and the highest GPAs.
  • Proving beyond a doubt to current or 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 banks love to hire, reward and promote.

So the value you stand to receive is substantial.

And your investment? Just $247 for the entire program.

With this very modest investment, 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!)

Or another way to look at it is that with this course, you're acquiring highly-specialized skills for which there is a ton of demand, but very limited supply... and that can only be a very good thing for you.

Other training firms charge much more for less content and value - and in some cases, for programs that aren't even designed specifically for online learning.

P.S. There is no faster way to master the skills required for real estate and REIT modeling... and no faster way to prove to potential employers or HR departments that you're an A-grade professional who is prepared to go "above and beyond" to stand out.

P.P.S. Advance Warning: A price rise is coming soon. The price of the BIWS Real Estate & REIT Modeling Course will increase to at least $397 in the near future. Even at that price, this course would still be more cost-effective than all the other alternatives... but please don't miss this opportunity to get in at $247, and then come back later only to find that you have to pay more.

If you've been watching us from the beginning, you know that prices have been increasing since the site first launched - and they will continue to do so in the future as the courses get even better and we add additional material and features.
