The goal of the finance training course on real estate finance for development and investment is to equip participants with the tools necessary to successfully assess, finance, and execute projects in the largest asset class in the world. The Oxford Training Center teaches how to include different funding structures, market analysis, and Highest and Best Use (HBU) studies into thorough feasibility assessments. Delegates will study several finance models at the property level, learn how to build them, and assess the risks involved.
Additionally, they will examine comparable techniques for funds and other indirect real estate investment types. The course covers many examples from other countries, but its main focus is on the Middle Eastern market, including both new developments and existing assets. These comprise a variety of asset categories, including villas, apartments, offices, retail establishments, hotels, warehouses, and specialty buildings, as well as undeveloped land and properties with development potential.
