FNCE 3336 Real Estate a Practical Approach
|
The beginning of the semester brought the fall class of the Barings-sponsored "Real Estate: A Practical Approach" course. The cap stone class has run for the last 4 years and now has an official FNCE 3336 number. The class, a favorite among the real estate students, is taught by Dave Reilly, former CEO of Cornerstone Realty Advisers, now known as Barings.
The students also have the opportunity to hear from speakers and professionals from Barings and other real estate firms.
In recent weeks James Clayton of Barings Research spoke to students regarding the difference between stocks and bonds and real estate as an asset class. Barings' Marty Kane lectured on the importance of Due Diligence and the many considerations that go into that process.
The class is advanced in nature and covers the nuts and bolts of a real estate transaction and brings
the students from the proforma through the rigors of real estate financing. The students work through case studies to determine viability and internal rate of return, eventually pitching and defending or rejecting the deal.
The semester promises to be enlightening and challenging as the class digs deeper into all things real estate.
