Détails du module
In this final module, we will explain how to interact with and evaluate a real estate financial modeling tool known as the “pro forma”. We will demonstrate how to input assumptions, market data, and other property information and then evaluate a project’s feasibility and financial performance. By walking through a case study, we will explore the various tabs in the pro forma and how such information functions together. We will close by performing a sensitivity analysis using the pro forma to examine the best, most likely, and worst-case scenarios for the real estate project modeled in the case study.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
