Real Estate Investment Case Studies – Frank Gallinelli
Real Estate Investment Case Studies is an excerpt from “Mastering Real Estate Investing” – Work through a series of case studies that deal with five different property types.
Real estate investing is a numbers game, and the only way to win is by understanding how the numbers work. How do I use a building’s current rents to estimate its value? What kind of cash flow and return on investment can I expect? Real estate expert Frank Gallinelli, Ivy-League professor, best-selling author, and founder of RealData Software, teaches this master class. You will learn how to make smart income-property investments, and how to separate the winners from the losers.
In this excerpt from his complete course, Frank takes you through a series of virtual case studies that deal with five different property types:
- Apartment Building
- Mixed-Use
- Triple-Net-Leased
- Retail Strip Center
- Single-family property
These cases are “invented” properties, similar to those he has covered in his grad-school course at Columbia, and he has designed them with several purposes in mind:
- One is to give you practice working through comprehensive analyses of income-property investments — a complete deal analysis, looking at the revenue stream, expenses, financing, cash flow, and resale. On what terms does each deal makes sense to you?
- A second is to introduce special situations that you need to understand, such as expense recoveries and triple-net leases.
- And finally, to give you an opportunity you to put yourself inside the deal as if you were a real participant, to think as an investor thinks — beyond the numbers, beyond the surface data — looking at each opportunity as if you were a buyer or seller in a real situation, with real money on the table.
Master the metrics, formulas, vocabulary, and techniques used by experienced investors.
