That being said, it doesn't get into the weeds on the sort of detailed financial analysis you might be looking to do. \n\nThe inflation rate question your family member asked is as much a finance question as a CRE question- if you're looking to learn about CRE investing I think you'll probably want to read up on finance and valuation. Aswath Damodaran has a website, Youtube channel and several books/textbooks that I cannot recommend highly enough. \n\nBecause the analysis you do when analyzing CRE almost always involves construction/renovation costs it's extremely helpful to have a basic understanding of the construction process. At the very least you'll want an idea of the cost/SF of building out/renovating a space (and this varies significantly between say multi-family vs. warehouse spaces).\n\nLet me know if you have any follow up questions and I'd be happy to answer.", "replies": [{"id": "hzde0g2", "text": "Very helpful thank you.
