Real Estate Financial Modeling
Hi everyone. I am starting to look to move real estate industries. I am looking to improve and work on my financial modeling skills. Is there a good place to learn how to model real estate deals and find case studies? I want to work on my modeling skills.

Keep in mind these courses are not cheap.  Also, nothing can supplement on-the-job transactional work.  Try to get your foot in the door somewhere.
