Commercial Real Estate (Case Studies)

Hey guys, I am trying to pivot in to Commercial Real Estate Lending. I am trying to find a place that has random case studies on different asset classes (MF, Industrial, Student Housing, Hospitality). I don't wanna just go ahead a pay for a course. I am good in that sense. I just need random case studies where I can just crank these case studies on my own and just try to get some reps in. Anyone know where I can get those?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some suggestions for finding case studies on various commercial real estate asset classes:

  1. Free Resources:

    • A user on WSO mentioned a case study on 666 Fifth Ave, which you can find here: http://www.cacq.com/images/site_images/666%20Fift</a>…">666 Fifth Ave Case Study. This could be a good starting point for analyzing a high-profile asset.
    • Broker reports, Axiometrics reports, Federal Reserve reports (e.g., NY Fed, KC Fed), National Association of Realtors reports, NMHC reports, and Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies reports are excellent sources for market data and insights.
  2. Books:

    • A former colleague recommended a book by William Poorvu, which is full of real estate case studies. This could be a valuable resource for structured learning.
  3. Value Investor's Club:

    • While not exclusively focused on real estate, this platform has hundreds of write-ups on potential investments, including real estate-related opportunities.
  4. Investment Sales Offering Memorandums:

    • As suggested in a WSO thread, getting your hands on 2-3 investment sales offering memorandums can help you understand market data, tenant profiles, rent rolls, and basic DCF structures. These are often available through brokers or industry contacts.

If you're looking for free or low-cost options, these resources should provide a solid foundation for practicing and analyzing commercial real estate case studies.
