Understanding Key Principles of Real Estate Financial Modelling

Real Estate Investments are unique in that they generate both rental income and capital appreciation, making cash flow modelling an essential tool for Real Estate Investors, Lenders, and Analysts.

On this course, we will use case studies to enhance the delegates understanding of Real Estate financial appraisals, and help them fully appreciate the theory behind the numbers. We will cover topics such as discounting, compounding, forecasting rental income and expenses, calculating net operating income (NOI), factoring in capital expenditures, modelling debt service, and determining the internal rate of return (IRR).

This course will provide you with a solid foundation for understanding and analysing real estate cash flows.

On this course, you will…

  • Study the financial concepts of compounding, discounting and in-perpetuity
  • Consider the importance of the timing and uncertainty of both fixed and growing income streams
  • Contrast different property yield metrics
  • Build-up risk premiums for discount rates, discuss the importance of liquidity, transparency and volatility
  • Compare and contrast time and money-weighted measures of return
  • Learn about valuation principles
