My name is Justin Kivel, and throughout my career, I've worked on over $1.5 billion of closed commercial real estate transactions on behalf of some of the top real estate investment, brokerage, and lending firms in the world. I've also taught over 100,000 students real estate financial modeling and analysis through the Break Into CRE platform, and this course packages up everything I've learned about how the most successful investors in this industry build and use financial models to analyze real estate investment opportunities.

Even if you're a complete beginner in Excel or you have no experience in real estate, by the end of this class, you'll have the skills necessary to build out a real estate financial model from scratch, starting with a blank Excel workbook.

This course was designed to be the resource I wish I had when I was first getting started in this industry, and whether you're trying to analyze your own real estate investment opportunities or trying to land a job at a top real estate firm, this course will equip you with the knowledge you'll need to start or advance your own real estate career.

Our students who have taken this course have gone on to work at some of the top real estate firms in the world, including Brookfield Asset Management, JLL, CBRE, Hines, Starwood Capital Group, JP Morgan, Eastdil Secured, KKR, and many more.

Here's what some of our students have said about the class:

★★★★★ "Excellent course that teaches you financial modeling in Excel for CRE. I purchased the course after starting a new job as valuation analyst for a RE asset manager and it has helped me immensely. I have a background in PE funds and my excel skills are fairly advanced so for me the added value was understanding the specificities of CRE. I now look forward to completing the advanced RE modelling course. This instructor is great: no fluff, clear explanations, top notch material and step-by-step directions. Justin is also very responsive with answering your queries. I highly recommend the course!"

★★★★★ "This course is great. I learned everything I needed to build a model for an interview for a Financial Analyst role at a Real Estate Private Equity Fund. And I got the job. I have since gotten other courses by Justin, as they are what I need to get me up to speed at my new job. Also, Justin is great at answering questions when I get stuck and pointing me in the right direction."

★★★★★ "Excellent Course! Thank you for all your hard work in transforming a complex concept into an easy to understand format. This course has multiplied my understanding of financial modeling and the use of Excel. I learned more through this platform than the traditional institutional setting. A great resource and educator."

★★★★★ "Overall, this course was such an awesome experience! As a CRE investor as well, I took this course with the goal of it helping to rebuild my financial model and, what can I say, mission accomplished! From the structure, to the pace, the exercises, Justin's CRE knowledge and Excel tips/tricks - it was exactly what I was looking for and more!"

★★★★★ "Cannot believe the value in this course!! Best deal in real estate education. Thank you Justin, can't wait to take the next course. I could not recommend it more."

★★★★★ "This is a top notch course. The self-pace is perfect for me and it helped refresh all of the concepts that I learned in my grad school real estate courses. Just follow along and practice the examples and you'll extract tremendous value from a modeling perspective!!"

★★★★★ "Justin is awesome! His teaching style makes learning very intuitive. I would recommend this class for anyone that is trying to break into CRE or expand their current foundation of CRE. I was recommended by a friend who spent $600 on a course but found this one to be more helpful and easier to follow/understand."

★★★★★ "Superb course that teaches you the fundamentals of CRE modelling you need to know. Justin is a really good lecturer and he is very responsive with answering your queries, not just about the course material but even things related to your career in CRE. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to understand the fundamentals of CRE modelling."

★★★★★ "Wow! This course and Justin's other courses are the equivalent of an MBA level curriculum. If you are willing to put in the time and effort you will benefit."
