Commercial real estate investment professionals must make wise decisions, yet we’re awash in often meaningless and contradictory information that passes for “data.” This program, taught by a real estate economist and data expert, will give both new and experienced real estate investors the tools you need to form an integrated real estate investment perspective that enables action and, most important, better results.

You’ll learn to use technology, proprietary data and a proven framework to develop a cohesive strategy, elevate decision-making and improve investment outcomes.

We’ll incorporate discussion of the following top-of-mind topics:

Inflation – The sources of inflation, the resulting Federal Reserve interest rate response, and the interaction of short- and long-term interest rates, especially as they relate to real estate income and valuation.
Inflation Reduction Act, Re-Industrialization and Domestic Growth Markets – The impact of 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act and how it spurs re-industrialization in previously overlooked markets.
Public Policy Responses to Housing Affordability – The varied policy responses to housing affordability concerns, from embracing market-driven development to policies enabling rent control and their impact on local markets.
