Learn the following fundamentals of building Excel real estate financial models; data presentation; rental income assembly; multiple lease analysis, incl. rent reviews, lease renewals and expiries; rent-free and void period forecasting; CAPEX assembly; disposal values; debt finance; unlevered and levered performance metrics (IRR, equity multiple and NPV); risk and sensitivity analysis.
