A Complete Guide To Building Real Estate Development Pro Forma Models From Scratch For Commercial Real Estate Investing

Want to learn how to build professional, dynamic, institutional-quality commercial real estate development pro forma models from scratch for office, retail, and industrial projects in Microsoft Excel? 

This course will take you by the hand and walk you step-by-step through the entire process of building a complete, dynamic, eight-tab commercial real estate development pro forma model, starting with a blank Excel workbook and ending with a complete commercial real estate development pro forma model that you've created (from scratch). 

When I was first learning real estate financial modeling, I would download real estate development models or "calculators" on the internet, only to feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the complex functions and formulas everywhere in these Excel files. And once I felt like I was finally starting to get used to these, I still was scared to change anything because I didn't want to "break" the model. And in most cases, even 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 commercial real estate development pro forma model from scratch, and by the time you finish the last lecture, you'll have an institutional-quality model that you've built from start to finish.

This course will teach you how to build a commercial real estate development pro forma model the way the largest and most sophisticated CRE development firms look at deals. At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Build an institutional-quality, dynamic commercial real estate development pro forma model for office, retail, and industrial projects from scratch (without expensive software)

• Model advanced real estate financing structures like mezzanine construction debt, dynamic permanent loan sizing based on multiple constraints, and more

• Create a dynamic sources and uses table, so you'll know exactly how much you'll need to fund a development project

• Model complex commercial real estate lease structures in Excel including NNN, FSG, MG, and BYS reimbursement structures, custom rent escalation schedules, percentage rent clauses, and more

• Create dynamic re-leasing scenarios based on renewal probability and re-leasing assumptions to create future projected lease cash flows automatically

• Model investor distributions on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis and switch between the three options (quickly and easily)

• Create custom charts and graphs that automatically populate in your model, that you can use to present to investors, lenders, and partners

• Build formula "checks" to quickly correct errors and feel confident in your calculations

This course is perfect for you if:

• You're a college student or graduate student looking to break into real estate development after graduation, and you're looking to add the key technical skills to your resume that will put you head and shoulders above the competition and allow you to land internships and full-time jobs in the CRE development field

• You're an existing real estate professional looking to advance your career and increase your compensation.

• You have a basic understanding of real estate finance and you're looking to take your real estate financial modeling skill set to an expert level to more confidently model and analyze your own real estate development deals

Here's what some of our students have had to say about the class:

★★★★★ "Great course, amazing content made relatively simple, all thanks to Justin. Thank you for making these courses and spreading the knowledge of Real Estate Financial Modeling. Really Grateful."

★★★★★ "Very clear explanations! I like the repetition through the different examples to embed learning. It's also helpful to say which shortcuts you are doing so that this becomes second nature."

★★★★★ "Fantastic course, and just like with Justin's other courses: crammed with great content and hands-on application. No fluff. Just into the materials and the mechanics. This course is rather advanced, but it covers a lot of different techniques, methods, and concepts."

If you have a basic understanding of real estate finance and you're looking to apply that knowledge to analyze land acquisition and ground-up commercial real estate development opportunities, I'd love to have you in the class!
