The "Secret" to Learning Real Estate Financial Modeling

Just like any skill in life, there are tips and tricks to learning that skill. Some suggestions are more helpful than others, although all contribute in some way. In this episode, we share one of the more valuable tips - what our marketing team has dubbed the "secret" - for learning real estate financial modeling.

And what is that secret... wait for it... practice! Big "secret", I know. But we can't reinforce this point enough. True proficiency in real estate financial modeling doesn't come from memorizing formulas or using other people's models. Mastery comes from learning the right techniques, in the right order, and then practicing those techniques over and over again.

But not all practice is equally as effective. So in this episode, we discuss a few strategies for practicing real estate financial modeling. We then share news about our new Real Estate Case Studies section of A.CRE that we're launching this month, to help you get the right practice for your area of interest.

Kent founded the real estate executive search firm, RETS Associates, in 2002. Since that time his firm has placed more than 3,000 real estate candidates spanning 22 U.S. states and across every major real estate discipline and property type.
