CCIM CI-104 Investment Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate
Purchasing real estate for investment can be one of the most challenging decisions that can
be made by a corporation, institutional investor, partnership, or individual. Financial and
regulatory factors, from finding a property consistent with the prospective owner’s investment strategy to financing options and tax considerations, have a profound impact on future fitability. This course provides the knowledge needed to make sound decisions regarding every critical aspect of the acquisition and ownership of commercial investment property. It addresses modern investment concepts such as expected value based on probabilities, real estate exchanges, capital ccumulation as a method for evaluating alternative real estate investments and income partitioning, a technique for valuing each portion of the cash flow by the risk it represents. It thoroughly covers every type of investment real estate-multifamily, office, retail and industrial. Comprehensive case studies place the concepts explored into a real-world perspective.
