Understanding the numbers is critical to success in real estate transactions. This dynamic program will give you the tools to confidently navigate the calculations and valuations that drive deals forward.

 

Join leading real estate attorneys, bankers, and appraisers as they break down the math behind mortgages, debt service coverage ratios, discounted cash flow, cap rates, and other essential metrics. Then, hear directly from financial and valuation experts on how lenders and appraisers approach transactions, what methods they use, and what you need to know before engaging their services.

 

Whether you are structuring a deal, advising a client, or evaluating property, this program will enhance your ability to spot issues, ask the right questions, and ensure your clients fully understand the financial framework of their transaction.
