Real Estate Products and Emerging Trends

2 Credits.

This course will provide an in-depth examination of the main value determinants, investment characteristics, principal risks, and most likely investors for traditional property types (office, apartment, industrial) and non-traditional property types (self-storage, data center, medical office). Students will learn how to build a valuation model for different property types, and will come away with an understanding of the nuances (quantitative and qualitative) that an investor must consider when determining the present worth of a particular property. The course will also cover emerging trends for financing real estate, such as crowdsourcing and tokenization.
