BFIN 2141 - REAL ESTATE FINANCE


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Real estate represents the largest asset class in the world and is historically the asset most closely associated with wealth in every culture and country. Our objective is to understand the financial characteristics of income-producing real estate by focusing on capital costs, cash flow characteristics, discount rates, exit values, and required rates of return. We will explore some of the unique characteristics that shape the economic performance of real estate assets. We will deploy a set of analytical tools to model potential economic outcomes of real estate investments; review the most common sources of capital deployed in income producing properties; and explore how securitization and secondary markets have revolutionized financing approaches, not always with positive results.
