Cheap Modeling Course
I really want to learn how to Model and practice underwriting deals this summer as I have a couple of months' free time and there are not that many internships available. I know that REFM and Adventures in CRE have modeling courses but they are kind of pricey. Are there any cheaper courses or even free like youtube videos I can watch and learn? (Note: I'm a beginner)

They all say \u201c$200\u201d but the price is reduced to between $10-25 when it\u2019s your first time clicking on them.

Sorry, was gonna try to offer an internship at my place of employment (a credit union) in LA.

The later being simpler. I\u2019ll try to help point in the best direction I can.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
