FNCE 4420 Real Estate Finance, Investment, and Entrepreneurship


3 semester hours

This course introduces students to gathering relevant data (both primary and secondary data) to build financial models for analyzing, interpreting, and making decisions on evaluation of alternative real estate investment opportunities with alternative financial structures. Hands-on entrepreneurial learning makes use of cases, gathering primary data, financial modeling, and estimating the most an investor should pay for a specific property. More specifically, this course includes determining a property’s “investment value,” financing strategy, risk analysis, taxation, market area supply and demand analysis by property type (e.g., single-family homes, apartments, office, retail, warehouses, and other industrial properties), alternative investment ownership (e.g., sole proprietorships, REITs, Limited Partnerships, LLCs, etc.), as well as evaluating alternative financing instruments in both primary and secondary markets.
