John Lau

Highly recommended.

Very good and awesome course to enhance professional skills on Real Estate Financial Modeling (REFM) and Fid Banks. Thanks, Tim Vipond for this hands-on training. Highly recommended.

Teka Derick Tikum

So beneficial

I completed the program and I think that it is the best way to understand real estate financial modeling easily. All concepts and applications are supported by examples in Excel. Thank you very much for clear and beneficial explanations.

Orkun Icten

Fantastic with one backlog!

The course, just like the other courses, was pretty good and explanatory. The instructor Tim, like always, does a good job in detailing everything. I did feel that Module 5 was a bit rushed for someone who has no experience in real estate, so I would suggest that a bit more time is allotted to that Module.

Kaushik Agarwal

A simple explanation of a comprehensive financial model.

Boburzhan Korganbekov

Thanks CFI

KANNY SIBOZA

Amazing!!

A very valuable course which is much needed for anyone who wants to learn the skill of Real Estate Financial Modeling. The step by step guide and the knowledge given regarding the relevant information needed to undergo the model was indeed very advantageous. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to increase their proficiency in financial modeling. Thanks CFI!

Zahid Sameer

Excellent Elective!

I have extensive experience in Real Estate Financial Modeling since I work for a Family Office Fund who's portfolio has a majority holding in Real Estate and Infra industries. Having modelled multiple such models, I still learned quite a few tricks and was blown away by the preciseness and the cleanliness of this model. The only feedback I have is that your team could focus on breaking down complex calculations and formulas into smaller steps (lesser loops and complexity). This helps the analyst explain his model to the Fund Partners in a less time consuming manner. I used to have similar formula lines that took into nested loops and multiple formulas and everything was fine with it, although the CIO mentioned that he usually scans my financial models on the go and so he would love to spend lesser time wrt understanding line items by formulas. Hence, I believe even though one can do these complex calculations maybe in one cell (or even mentally), but one needs to break them out! This allows the end recipient / user of the model to understand your approach and the steps you've taken. Hope this helps. Cheers!

All subject are good and challenging

Take the course

Worth your time. Excel modeling is challenging and complex sometimes, but it is explained clearly. Wish there was more explanation of why, when, where you would create this model and what is it used most for.

Nicholas Quillan

EXCELLENT COURSE, I RECOMMEND FOR ALL REAL ESTATE FINANCIAL MODELERS

I just completed the CFI Real Estate course and I loved it. The financial modelling is of a high standard. The exams is of a high standard too, meant to challenge you to think hard. But if you get a full grasp of the lessons, you will pass, as did in just one attempt.

Exciting and Informative Course!

The course was very exciting. I enjoyed every bit of it. I have not only gained an understanding of how real estate development project works, but I have also learned about how to model and value real estate development projects. Above all, I have learned how to build really dynamic models that are sensitive to time periods which has already helped me in a model I'm currently building.
