Want to know whatREAL real estate investment analysis is all about?
Tired of "no money down/get rich like me" real estate investing "secrets" from supposed real estate gurus that leave you filled with nothing but marketing fluff and upsells trying to convince you to purchase their $2000 elite coaching program?
Me too. Thats why I developed this course for students who are looking for actual results and not a magic bullet.
I can't promise I'll help you get rich enough to buy your own a yacht and and a pair of Ferraris, but I can teach you some serious real estate investment analysis techniques. The same techniques used by the best and most successful investors.
If you want to learn the real fundamentals of real estate investing and how to actually evaluate investment opportunities the way professional investors do, this is the course for you.
After getting my MBA from Stanford, I became a licensed broker and real estate consultant and worked on over $400M in real estate deals. Ive spent hundreds of hours on research, not counting the countless deals Ive made over the years.
And Ive taken all that knowledge and put it all into this course. Jim Bo - 5 StarsThis is a very detailed and very thorough course that covers many aspects builds a solid foundation of real estate investing. In addition to superb videos, Symon does an excellent job at promptly answering all your questions with a lot of details. Anyone who is thinking about investing in real estate should take this course!
Nelson Robertson - 5 StarsWell organized, thorough, and easy to follow. Symon makes a point to be very responsive to questions and provides very detailed answers. Tremendous value.
How do you know if this course is right for you?
Have you've ever wanted to: Invest with business partners but do so in a smart and fair way? Want to appeal to investor clients as an agent? Want to land an acquisitions role as an analyst/associate? Want to get into real estate private equity and need to get up to speed? Want to be able to ANALYZE any real estate opportunity? Look at and evaluate deals the way a professional investor would? Become smarter and more efficient at finding and evaluating deals than you did before? Know what Airbnb short term rentals are all about and if it's worth your effort? Become an agent who could target investor clients instead of just home buyers? Have professional investment analysis tools that you could use immediately to evaluate your own investment opportunities? Get into a real estate acquisitions role (analyst or associate) in real estate i-banking or private equity (you get 20+ investment models/examples!)? IF YES to any of the above, then this course is definitely for you.
Theododre Catillo - 5 StarsVery comprehensive. Much more than I expected. Recommend to anyone wanting a solid foundationPriska Prasetya - 5 StarsEasy to understand. The teacher makes the explanation simple. Highly recommended!
Jorge juyo - 5 StarsThe information is really well organized, well presented, Symon uses all the media and audio visual aids possible and that makes it easy to follow._______________________________________ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS______________________________________ I don't live in the US, is the material still relevant to me?
Yes! While all of the examples are using US properties, ALL of the concepts taught and tools provided are just as useful for any market around the world. In fact, I have students from over 190 countries who are learning and using the tools provided in the course to help them invest in their local area.
What if I don't have any real estate background?
Perfect! I start you off with a heavy dose of the fundamentals so students with no experience or background can get the most out of the rest of the course. Check out my foundational sections below.
I have some real estate background already, what could I learn from your course? Besides everything listed above, Ill show you how to answer these types of questions for EVERY kind of real estate property: How do you know if a particular investment is worth your time and money? How do you know if property A is better than property B? How do you find deals that make sense for you? That fit your risk preferences and goals? How can you calculate your expected return on your investment? How would you analyze the returns for your investment company? How do you structure an investment with investment partners? How do you analyze operating assets? If you know how to do all of that, this course isnt for you. The good news I have plenty of advanced courses available as well, feel free to check those out right now to find the one thats appropriate for your experience level.
Having said that, I put A LOT of useful materialsin here so you're more than likely going to learn something new.
I've had folks who had over 20 years of experience find something of value in this course, so Im certain you can too.
Why is there so much math and number crunching? You can't properly evaluate a real estate investment without looking at its numbers. So if you hate math and don't like numbers, this course isn't for you. Serious real estate analysis is probably not for you either.
Why do you use Excel so much?
Good question. Analyzing real estate investments involves looking at the numbers and it's easiest to do so with spreadsheets, whic
