BIWS REIT Modeling - Lot of modeling experience?
Hey
For whoever has taken BIWS for RE and REITs, how advanced does your knowledge have to be of financial modeling? I saw the pre req said that it was an advanced course and should have taken Excel and Financial Modeling Course before. Wondering if you could take this without having a lot of modeling experience in the past.
ehh, it's very likely you'll get lost. for the reit modeling you should have the basics of modeling down for sure: how to set up a model, how the financial statements link up to each other, how to do a basic valuation, as well as a sound understanding of concepts such as levered free cash flow.
by doing the fundamentals course, you'll then be able to soak up a lot more for the reits module. you can, however, skip the advanced modeling (tho i highly recommend it too).
Also very interested in the above question. As an extension to the original post, would the Wall Street Prep premium package be an appropriate pre-req or is having a fair understanding of real estate enough?

i bought the following BIWS modules and here's my input:

Hi there,
Just wondering if the above course worth time and money...
Has anyone gone through this BIWS Real Estate module? if so, briefly comment please...
Thanks much!
I'm interested in taking the RE/REIT modeling course but still haven't decided on which basic course to take... which basic course is better? WSP or BIWS. From what I can gather from other threads they're fairly similar in terms of structure. Only have converts modeling skills, so I'm pretty green when it comes to M&A modeling.
The office module is great so far and expect similar from the hotel model. Ive had a brief look over the REIT stuff and it looks pretty detailed. Personally i'm not interested too much by the REIT side of things but for the office and hotel sections alone, i'd say it's worth it if you want to learn how to model.
I think all modules were great. It is a great introductory course into waterfall modeling.
I took both - and either one is solid. BIWS, however, suited my style and price range a bit more, so I went with them for the more advanced modeling.
waterfall modelling, are you talking about REFM courses or BIWS?
BIWS
anyone have any thoughts on pros/cons of BIWS/REFM, in terms of which one is better for learning intricacies of waterfall methodology, understanding how changing different variables affect returns and other metrics in models, etc?
I have both the basical fundamentals and REIT one , just wondering if I really gotta go through the basic one first ( want to learn in shortest time possible)?
Only had the REIT one. I think it's ok if you already know how to use excel (know circularity, etc.) and have basic finance knowledge.
Never heard of either one.
I looked into BIWS's REIT modelling course. It looks like its $250 for the course. I would say it is worth it for somoeone who has lacks exp modelling and RE finance knowledge.
Go fot it. I don't think your Excel knowledge or RE finance knowledge needs to be advanced for that course.
i have gone through certain parts of it and was definitely impressed. good stuff.
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who is familiar with various products on which might be most beneficial for certain sectors. I'm working at a retail REIT, and I'm not sure if BIWS or REFM would be a better option.
Obviously I've looked these over and this one goes into REIT valuation, and modeling for Hotel/Office, but which one will give me the most applicable modeling skills given my company's niche?
