Course Start. What is Real Estate? In specific, what does it mean to invest in real estate? By the end of this lecture you should understand the emotional, or unemotional decisions you will make as an investor when thinking about investing in real estate.
Explore why real estate is a safer long-term asset than stocks, and how property can appreciate, generate rent cash flow, and be used for sale or inheritance.
Adopt the investor perspective by weighing return of investment and return on investment over a ten-year horizon, noting break-even and a 110.6% profit, with residential and commercial investor types.
By the end of this lecture you should understand the emotional, or unemotional decisions you will make as an investor when thinking about investing in real estate. You should also understand the need for advanced tools such as financial models that help you judge investments side by side.
The assumptions you build into your model will shape the projections you receive from the actual inputs.
In this unit we will organize different tabs to show different financials. We will learn how to reference cells back to our assumptions main tab. Basically, we will learn how to connect everything.
With the use of Macros we will be able to direct which type of cost we will incur (New Development or Re-Sale). We will also be able to activate our mortgage calculator.
Analyze real estate investments by calculating net operating income, cash flow, mortgage payments, and break-even ratio, and assess cash-on-cash return and return on equity using gross rent and cap rates.
Build the sale analysis sheet to track proceeds after sale, selling costs, cumulative cash flow, and initial cash invested, then calculate net profit and return on investment.
An investor analyzes selling costs when liquidating property, including brokerage fees, New York State transfer tax, New York City real property tax, and closing costs, to determine net proceeds.
Build an amortization table to track monthly mortgage payments, interest, cumulative principal, and loan balance over 240 months, informing equity and tax deduction planning.
In this unit we will create a short version of our financial statements sheet. We will use this sheet to present to investors, or print for ourselves.
Finalize the real estate finance sheet by adjusting for inflation, incorporating initial cash invested, and calculating cap rate, net operating income, return on investment, and cash-on-cash return across mortgage scenarios.
Explore Monte Carlo simulation to quantify real estate investment risk and uncertainty, using appreciation rates, standard deviation, and 2,000 iterations to estimate ten-year value with mean and percentiles.
Welcome to this finance course! What you can expect from this course is building the necessary tool to assess real estate investments. I will build the financial model with you, and explain the math behind the equations, and the meaning of every financial metric (Ex. CapRate). This is a hands-on course meaning I will provide the excel sheet for you to practice on your own time. This tool can be adapted to any real estate market. I will teach you common sense behind “complicated decision making". What is good about this is that you will not only build a financial model, but you will learn what makes up a good investment. We will take into account future values of a property, or equity, by measuring economic factors through a powerful excel financial metric named Monte Carlo Simulation.
Please send me a message for any question you may have. I look forward for us to enjoy.
My Best,
