Real Estate Finance and Investments
This course focuses on exploring the relevance of the objectives of real estate finance and investments in the context of the link between theoretical perspectives and practical decisions that investors in real estate are faced with.
The course supplements the student knowledge in finance by expanding the student’s understanding of financial markets to include the fundamental principles of real estate investments, financing and valuation. As such it is designed to comprise the various methods of financing and valuation that reasonably can be applied to income producing real estate and to understand the conditions under which each
method can be applied. Moreover, students will carry out a thorough applied real estate valuation by using different methods of valuations.
