Can I teach myself ARGUS, modeling and CRE math?
Hi everyone,
I started working at a REPE firm in PERE top 10-20 (fluctuates) after practicing commercial real estate law at Gibson Dunn for more than 15 years and realized I want to learn more about the business and “math” side of CRE.
I don’t want to be stuck in Microsoft Word for the rest of my life.
Wondering if there’s a way to learn this on my own without starting my career over from scratch.
I love my job but there’s no way I’m going to receive the mentorship and trial by fire training the bullpen gets.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
The Math? Sure.
Interpreting the math? Probably more difficult.
Experience is what tells you what inputs are realistic, what numbers are locked in and what will almost certainly shift post-closing, and that quick sense when you look at the returns if something is off or not.
But real estate math is also far from serious math. I was a liberal arts major. I consider myself objectively bad at mathematics. Underwriting a deal in excel though? That’s something else entirely.
He wants to trade up word for Excel, good man
