REAL ESTATE PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT ANALYSIS USING EXCEL
Joseph Larkin, CCIM, MCR, SIOR
Approved for 7 hours C.E. Credit
 
How to determine if a real estate investment makes financial sense? You start by building a proforma economic model and applying performance measurements to determine if the asset meets the financial objectives.
 
This course is designed specifically for real estate professionals interested in expanding their knowledge of investment real estate. Attendees will use prepopulated Excel workbooks that allow fast calculations of vital financial measurements to evaluate a real estate investment quickly and effectively. Applying performance measurements will illustrate how the property may perform in the future. Financial modeling will demonstrate various returns based on different investors’ goals.
 
We will explore financing. Will leverage increase or decrease the overall investment return, and how will the financing impact the property’s future performance? Real Estate Performance and Investment Analysis using Excel is essential for any real estate investor or practitioner. The attendee will leave with the knowledge and financial tools that can be applied immediately to evaluate any real estate investment!

LEASE VS. PURCHASE ANALYSIS FOR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
Joseph Larkin, CCIM, MCR, SIOR
Submitted for 3 hours CE Credit
 
For most businesses, the cost to occupy real estate is typically the second most expensive item on the profit and loss statement. As a broker, leasing agent, or consultant, you may be asked to advise a client on the merits of leasing or purchasing commercial real estate. This case-study-driven course will provide you with the tools to answer the question, which is better, leasing or owning? Looking through the lens of the business, we will explore the choices and how those options are evaluated. A cost-to-occupy model will provide financial and non-financial measurements in the decision-making process. Providing a high level of value to your client.
 
A laptop computer with a full version of Excel is required. During the course, the attendee will be provided with an Excel programmed workbook. Providing an opportunity to complete “what if” scenarios.
