The For-Sale Residential Development Modeling Master Class

Want to learn how to build professional, dynamic, institutional-quality for-sale residential 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 workbookand walk away with a fully-functional, dynamic, eight-tab real estate development model for condos, townhomes, and for-sale single family homes 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.
