Sample Real Estate Electives
Below are some of the real estate courses.
- MGMT 608 - Disruption in Commercial Real Estate
With a seismic shift in commercial real estate due to technology-driven changes to distribution networks and the digitization of the economy, developers face challenging and evolving opportunities. How do you adapt and thrive when customer desires change at lightning speed and everyone competes against Amazon? Through simulations and a real-time case study, students learn to capture the rewards of customer-centric design using psychographics and quantitative methodologies. - MGMT 660 - Real Estate Contract Negotiations for Business Professionals
Legal risk pervades business dealings. This course explores legal risk by educating the student on legal theories, then how to identify, quantify, reduce and accept legal risk, in the context of real estate transactions. Effective interaction with legal counsel will be emphasized. - MGMT 728 - Real Estate Development Seminar
The Real Estate Development course follows the development process from an entrepreneurial and "deal making" point -of-view. - MGMT 742 - Real Estate Private Equity
In this course, students first understand the roles and responsibilities within a real estate private equity firm (including limited and general partner roles) and compensation and incentive structures typically seen in real estate private equity funding models. We focus on assessing risk and return in private real estate investments portfolios and analyzing relative valuations. Students learn how to construct a private investment portfolio, how to make buy and sell decisions from a portfolio perspective, and how to manage risks on behalf of fund investors. The course benefits from guest speakers addressing management and investment issues from both the limited and general partner perspectives. Students prepare an investment proposal and present the investment thesis to a mock investment committee. - MGMT 754 - Real Estate Investments Lab
