Welcome to Fundamentals of Analyzing Real Estate Investments, my practical course on how to use professional techniques to evaluate investment opportunities in real estate. This course has been propelling students from total beginners to confident practitioners in a matter of weeks.

Here is what a few of my students have to say:

For the most bang for your buck, this is the most value-packed course I have on Udemy out of 84. The tools and materials in this course are top-notch. This course is a clear investment in achieving my investment goals. You're not likely going to build a house without a hammer. You need the right tool for the job, and this is it!"

“There is a tremendous amount of information in this course that far surpasses anything else offered by Udemy.

It doesn’t matter what facet of the real estate investment industry you are interested in; this course is full of invaluable information that will save you time and, if you apply what you learn, money.

Want to know what 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 ten thousand dollar elite coaching program?

Me too. That’s 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 yacht and a pair of Ferraris, but I can teach you some serious real estate investment analysis techniques.  The same techniques are 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 400 million dollars in real estate deals. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on research, not counting the countless deals I’ve made over the years.

And I’ve taken all that knowledge and put it all into this course.

Jim Bo: 5 Stars

“This is a very detailed and thorough course that covers many aspects and builds a solid foundation for real estate investing. In addition to superb videos, Symon does an excellent job of 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 Stars

“Well organized, thorough, and easy to follow. Symon makes a point to be very responsive to questions and provides very detailed answers. Tremendous value.”
