Real Estate Investment Trust Financial Modeling

This course by EDUCBA applies financial modeling to real estate investment trusts, the listed vehicles that own income-producing property. The focus is on the valuation techniques that analysts, researchers and bankers use when they work on these companies.

Model inputs

Revenue forecasting, cash flows, balance sheet analysis and financial forecasting are the building blocks. Those inputs feed into business valuation, which is the output most readers will want to understand first.

Is it a fit

1. Analysts comparing listed property companies
2. Finance students moving into equity research
3. Investors who want to see how a REIT is valued from its financial statements

Since the course centers on valuation, it is most useful once you have a working grasp of financial statements and cash flow forecasting, both of which the skill list points to.
