European Real Estate Analyst

Learn how to generate cash flows arising from European lease codes and conventions. The course revises Real Estate Financial Modelling theory prior to a detailed analysis of the different covenants existing in the various jurisdictions of continental Europe. Inter-European Investments present additional challenges in the permutations of covenants and subsequent rent projections.

This course shows you how to build European focused cash flow models whilst minimising the complexity and size of rent functions.

On this course you will

  • Revise financial modelling structures and techniques
  • Learn the covenants prevalent in different countries throughout Europe
  • Devise solutions and techniques to project flexible rent functions
  • Apply and analyse debt structures
  • Analyse using sensitivity and scenario analysis

Who will benefit from this course?

  • Real Estate professionals at any level with exposure to Real Estate financial models on a frequent basis
  • Mid-level to senior Real Estate Analysts who would like to start building their own real estate models quickly, rather than relying solely on coaching from existing team members
  • Junior or new Real Estate Analysts who would like to start building their own real estate models quickly, rather than relying solely on coaching from existing team members
  • APC candidates who would like the opportunity to consolidate their competencies by understanding how theory and variables interact within the precision context of a financial model.
