Real Estate Clinic: Commercial

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The Real Estate Clinic is designed to prepare students for MBA level careers at institutional real estate investment firms by exposing them to the practice of underwriting real estate investments. Students will have the distinct benefit of being able to underwrite the “Four Main Food Groups,” i.e. office, multi-family, industrial and retail product across the United States so they develop not only a broad understanding of many different asset types, but they learn how underwriting is impacted by geography. The Clinic will also provide extensive exposure to real estate technical tools in the form of Excel and Argus Enterprise. This course will focus exclusively on the commercial asset (office, industrial, retail) with the first four weeks of the course dedicated to Argus Enterprise training. The later stages of the class will then build upon the Argus knowledge through the underwriting of individual deals in each of the three commercial real estate property types.
