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.
