MS Excel CRE Course for Beginner-Intermediate Level
I’m a junior in college aiming to join a CRE private equity or development firm in an acquisitions/transactions role after graduation. I'm looking to build a solid foundation in Excel specifically for CRE financial modeling and have come across various courses but am unsure which ones are the most effective.
If anyone has taken or heard of courses that provided strong, practical insights into CRE modeling, I’d appreciate any recommendations.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for building a solid foundation in Excel for CRE financial modeling:
A.CRE Accelerator Core Program: This program is highly regarded for its focus on real estate modeling. It provides practical insights into CRE financial modeling and is tailored for those aiming to excel in acquisitions or development roles.
WSO Excel Modeling Course: This course offers over 100 lessons, taking you from beginner to advanced levels in Excel. It’s designed to help you establish a strong foundation for more advanced financial modeling courses, which is crucial for CRE roles.
Adventures in CRE (A.CRE): Their website (url: https://www.adventuresincre.com/re-modeling/) is an excellent resource for real estate-centric Excel skills. It’s particularly useful once you’ve grasped basic Excel formulas and want to dive deeper into real estate-oriented analysis.
WSO Free Financial Modeling Series: This series includes lessons taught by experienced private equity professionals and investment bankers, covering financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, and Excel modeling. It also comes with 27 financial modeling templates, which can be a great starting point.
These options provide a mix of beginner to intermediate-level training and practical applications tailored to CRE. If you're entrepreneurial and disciplined, starting with these resources will give you a strong foundation for your career goals.

Google "The Real Estate Financial Modeling Bootcamp by Justin Kivel." It's on Udemy. Great, cheap starter to the modeling process and Justin also does a helpful Youtube series called Break Into CRE
