Course description

This course is designed to give students a detailed understanding of real estate finance and investment. Topics will include real estate financing strategies, investment decision making, mortgage-backed securities and real estate capital markets. While the course draws heavily on important concepts from corporate finance and investment theory, special emphasis is placed on the distinctive features of real estate as an asset class. In particular, the course examines how these features impact investment choices and portfolio decision making relative to financial assets, such as stocks and bonds, for institutional investors. Since real estate is closely linked with finance and economics, this course will have a quantitative emphasis.
