In which order should I learn these courses? (Modeling DCF,Financial Statements, REIT)

Hey everyone. I'm trying to learn how to create REITs,DCF, and financial statement models. However, I already am done with 60% of DCF, and 40% of REITs. I feel like I should have learned how to model financial statements first, but I think it's pretty simple to pick up.

Because I'm in real estate I was thinking-> REIT,DCF, and Financial statements

If I had more time I'd probably do -> Financial Statements,DCF then REITs.

Thoughts?

First reactions: what difference does it make- just learn it. 2nd reaction: how can you accurately make a DCF without knowing the 3 financial stmts and how to model them 3rd reaction: realizing I learned DCF and then fin. Stmt modeling.

TL;DR- make sure you know 3 financial stmts first and foremost then it doesn't really matter the order you learn to make these models.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
 

Actually, I did. I just tried to give you a big steamy on your original comment to see if I did and I was unable to do so! So, that means I did, apology is on me. I had intended a an. Fat thumbs man!!! Take some SB's to offset your losses from the Shit I have thrown your way!

Funny. Thanks. Was just honesty curious as to why. Know I had some typos but I'm so tired I can barely see so they slip through!
