Making informed investment decisions in commercial real estate hinges on understanding micro and macroeconomic theories and frameworks, and using practical financial analysis tools. The Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investment online short course from the MIT School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) draws on real-world examples of real estate investment and development projects, with a focus on unique tools, terms, and theories that have been pioneered and developed by the Faculty Director, David Geltner. On completion of this course, you’ll be armed with the skills needed for real estate valuation, investment analysis, and decision making, and you’ll earn an MIT SA+P digital certificate, validating your newfound real estate finance and development knowledge.

This online short course is geared toward finance, property investment, and real estate professionals who want to understand how to apply financial tools to analyze the commercial real estate market and make informed investment decisions. This program has a technical focus, and previous financial or real estate investment experience will significantly benefit you.
