Very explanatory course material and great lecturers

It was my first time studying the subject of real estate in such detail. The course material is presented in a very understandable way and I really enjoyed it. I will surely revert to it in the later stages of my business studies, no matter where. It is great that CFI allows two years of access to its course. Now I am eager to start a new real-estate related course within this CBCA Program.

Real Estate Fundamentals

CFI's Real Estate Fundamentals course is very valuable. The course structure makes it easy to follow, and the instructor is clear and concise in the explanation of course concepts. The interactive exercises serve as very helpful knowledge checks to track your learning, and the downloadable documents help provide real-world examples of course applications. This was the first elective course in the Commercial Real Estate Finance Specialization which I purchased in the CFI bundle as a Christmas gift to myself. The bundles includes about 7 specializations which I secured with a 20 percent off holiday promotion for $400. Can't beat that! Check out CFI for yourself. If the reviews aren't convincing, take the free CFI Excel Crash Course. Best investment I've made this year.
