Real Estate Financial Modelling for Newbies

Grab the fundamentals in less than 50 pages

Having graduated from a university majoring in real estate and obtained several years of work experience in real estate investment companies, we understand the kind of qualifications firms normally look for in a real estate analyst. Not to mention the technical difficulties a young analyst tends to encounter in their first year as a result of limited exposure on financial modelling at schools. Having encountered the same issues, we felt the urge to start writing this book with the aim of providing a guide for building real estate financial models to better equip students and young analysts with the practical knowledge, should they follow this track.

This book, the first book of the series on real estate investment, is written with investment properties being the focus. Real-life cases and a downloadable excel sheet will be provided to readers for their own application.

This book will be kept concise but still informative to suit different types of readers, either those who want to understand thoroughly or those who just want to look for a quick sample of a real estate financial model. Concepts are provided and explained in detail, while sample financial models are provided for download and easy application.

You will benefit most from the book if you are: 

• Undergraduates or first year real estate investment analysts who want to establish a strong foundation on real estate investment and financial modelling
• Individuals who are keen to learn more about real estate investment either for educational or career purposes

What the book provides:
