Best source to become proficient in real estate excel modeling (outside of in-job experience)?
Options I am considering are REFM package on WSO, as well as Real Estate Certificates at NYU or Wharton (not actually full-time graduate program just $5,000-$10,000 to take live courses on financial modeling over a semester, obviously wouldn't be going for the prestige more just the education). What is the most effective and best value way to get good at real estate modeling outside of in-job experience?
Fade all of that, take Justin Kivel’s break into CRE courses. I’ve taken his intro bootcamp course, equity waterfall modeling course and am currently working through the advanced equity waterfall modeling course. The courses are like $20 each and you really get a lot out of it.
The quick, easy and frugal answer is: Udemy. Wait for their periodic sales ($17-$25/class). Do not pay full price ever. JKivel is solid as is his YouTube channel which is updated somewhat regularly. A ~few hundred dollars at Udemy will take you reasonably far provided you do the exercises (and review the supplied models cell-by-cell). Toss in Linneman's textbook book and work through understanding each illustrative model in Excel (i.e., their format + methodology/rationale + formulas) as an adjunctive resource.
Break into CRE was great for me. I'd highly recommend it.
There's also Josh Kahr's courses, Bruce Kirsch's REFM courses, Realogic has some courses but you have to inquire and BIWS (not sure if BIWS is still a decent resource but the others are all solid).
