Understanding the risks inherent in real estate lending

Course Overview
Commercial Real Estate Lending II: Underwriting provides a best-practices approach to quantifying cash flows of various styles of Commercial Real Estate (CRE) property for underwriting. Topics include 1) the analytics necessary for a unified analysis for loan consideration, including measuring cash flow for debt service and assessing quality of its sources, 2) the lease review process 3) alternative methods to reach a valuation, 4) testing loan performance under adverse conditions, and 5) creating a loan structure that helps preserve cash flow. Through a mix of small and large group activities, case studies, and active discussions, participants are better prepared to apply the content learned when they return to their jobs.

Analyze extraordinary lease terms and apply effective-rent analysis to quantify their impact on cash flow and value
