The program

This track gives property professionals the commercial vocabulary and analytical method their investor clients already use. It covers yield and its misuse, hold-period cash flow, leverage in both directions, valuation evidence and the honest identification of risk. The assessment is a written investment case for a real asset, including the assumption that carries the most risk and what would have to be true for the case to fail.

What you will be able to do

  • Calculate and present yield measures correctly
  • Build a hold-period cash flow with honest assumptions
  • Explain leverage, coverage and rate risk to a client
  • Produce a defensible price opinion from comparable evidence
  • State the risk in an investment case plainly
