The Birth of a Building with Ben Stevens - S2E6

Welcome to the A.CRE Audio Series! On this episode, I am here once again with the creators of the Adventures in CRE website, Spencer Burton and Michael Belasco. Today we have a special guest Ben Stevens.

Today we are actually continuing a previous conversation. We are picking up where we left off from the last episode with Ben. Towards the end of Ben’s time working on his MBA, he began writing a book called The Birth of a Building. He continued that effort following graduation and eventually published the book. It is now used as part of the curriculum of several top business programs in the U.S. to help teach real estate development. In this episode, Ben shares a lot of great perspective and talks more in depth about his book.

Model Like a Deal-Seasoned Pro - S1E10

Welcome back to the A.CRE Audio Series. In this episode, we chat once again with the creators Adventures in CRE, Spencer Burton and Michael Belasco, about the A.CRE Accelerator Program. The Accelerator is their premium training program designed to help people gain an in depth understanding and master institutional quality real estate financial modeling.

During our conversation, we’ll be diving deep into the Accelerator Program, what if offers, and why it was created. This is a great program for those looking to perfect and take their real estate financial modeling skills to the next level.

Michael and Spencer discuss what it was like early on going through the growing pains of learning this critical fundamental skill and how, for almost all of us in the industry, there was no direct guidance or program out there to help put them on a guided path to institutional quality proficiency. A lot of their learning was over years of study, experience, and trial and error. They discuss how through all that, they were able to develop this program, which provides a direct shortcut and gives members exactly what they need and in the right order so they don’t need to waste any time.

Join Spencer and Michael as they share their thoughts on the Accelerator program during this episode of the A.CRE Audio Series.

The Work from Home Opportunity in Commercial Real Estate

In this special episode, Michael and Spencer discuss the changing work environmental in commercial real estate. More specifically, with the entire CRE workforce currently performing their duties remotely on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, a paradigm shift in how work is done in CRE is underway.

Listen as Michael and Spencer imagine a world where more CRE professionals work remotely, where office space is in less demand, and where contract work grows exponentially.

At the end of the episode, Michael and Spencer make a call to action to Accelerator Graduates.
