Here's what some of our students have had to say:

★★★★★ "I have taken other RE Development courses and they were over-complicated and hard to follow, this course was just the opposite. As with all his other courses, Justin delivers a clear and easy to follow lesson, making him easily the best Real Estate modeling instructor on the internet. I honestly bought this course within 3 minutes of its release, and it was worth every penny.”

★★★★★ "I've been in CRE valuation, investment sales brokerage, and realty capital for over 30 years, and I've never taken a class with this much detailed content. Justin not only crushes this course, but more importantly pulls back the curtain on how institutional investors view and model their deals. You'd have to work at an institutional PE or CRE firm for years to learn what he is offering here. It's not an easy walk but if one can master this content, you can size and model anything in the CRE universe. Congrats, Justin - job well done!"

★★★★★ "Another flagship course by Justin! First, it's all about the thoroughness of the course design (takes me step-by-step). Second, and more importantly, Justin keeps the communications going with his students. I am experiencing this myself and you could verify this by how many I post in the Q&A section, and how many got answered. I don't get this treatment often."

★★★★★ "Something that I've been looking for for a long time! I feel like I understand how to approach almost any RE modeling going forward."

★★★★★ "I've taken several real estate financial modeling courses to improve my skill level for my job. This is by far the best I have taken. Everything is taught step by step with clear instruction and explanations of formulas."

★★★★★ "Another great course taught by Justin, this was filled with many in depth excel modeling techniques to implement when forming a development model. Trying to break into CRE finance/ development can be tough and these skills can really give you an upper hand on the competition. Thanks!!"
