Advanced Commercial Real Estate: Markets and Analysis

Length: 2 Days

This session embraces and reinforces essential features of the real estate underwriting process, reflecting the realities of today’s real estate market and product concerns. Designed specifically for the experienced real estate banker, the course addresses the real property loan concerns and the realities of the current real estate market.

The session presents commercial real estate investment alternatives, trends in local and national real estate markets, and current challenges to property asset values. Further, the course imparts advanced concepts in the underwriting, monitoring, and business development skills of the commercial real estate banker.

The seminar includes discussion of increased market and product knowledge and the use of mitigating due diligence, breakeven analysis, and benchmarks.
