Frank's course is a great resource, and provides a solid foundation for students to feel confident and prepared the day the program starts. I've even had graduate students decide to purchase it closer to the end of their studies, so they can use it as an occasional refresher, especially if they decide to go down a more entrepreneurial path. Frank is so organized and adept at explaining things, and the course is thoughtfully structured in many smaller manageable units, so you can click into it even when you have eight minutes between meetings.

...your wonderful ability to teach this material has made this a thoroughly rewarding and efficient education in Real Estate Deal Analysis. I am incredibly satisfied with the online course as well as the Real Data Pro software… More personally, I really want to thank you for the confidence your education has given me… — I-Yeh
This is a great video series to learn how to calculate and evaluate income producing properties. The math is the same for all levels of investors. Frank makes sure that you don't just accept what is given to you but explains how to look beyond and see the big picture of the potential investment.
A helpful, insightful, and well-structured course that can take you from newbie to capable investor in relatively short order. Complex concepts are well explained and well illustrated with examples.
I felt this course was extremely useful for my start of multi-family apt investment. I had Frank's book, but this course was perfect for me. I have full confidence my ability to analyze different properties.
This is an AWESOME course. I only passed through once however, I will go through it again. I believe if I can master the thought process as well as the the tools and techniques. I will have a competitive edge in making, presenting and operating all property classes. Thank you for your time hard work and due diligence putting this course together. It is everything you're not told at the seminars.
“Dear Mr. Gallinelli, thanks so much for explaining the hierarchy of a pro forma for an income producing property in a very simple way. Your skill to translate investment concepts in a clear fashion to real estate investors is outstanding” --Maibi Rojas
I felt that this course has properly formed me to make informed, calculated and intelligent decisions in regards to my future real estate investment portfolio. You're the man Frank! I will highly recommend this course to anyone interested in the real estate investment world.
“…thank you for your relentless passion to make sure your student succeeds. I am passionate about learning and I appreciate you so much for this.” -- Ola Ibiwoye
“Thanks. These are the best courses ever!” -- Ken Vance
Great course - especially for a beginner commercial investor like me.
The case studies were very very helpful to better understand the lesson in not only mathematically/ numbers, but also conceptually and how a certain situation goes by in real life.
Your skill to translate investment concepts in a clear fashion to real estate investors is outstanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
We make no assumptions about your prior background or experience. The course will start with the basics, and from there it will move gradually into topics of greater depth.
Not at all. You'll find the math to be surprisingly simple, and I take special care to explain it clearly, with plenty of examples. Real estate investing is all about the numbers, and success comes to those who understand how the numbers work and what they mean.
The "Mastering..." course includes 60 videos -- and growing. The bonus "How to Evaluate..." adds another 10. Each video is about 6 to 20 minutes long. You can watch each lesson as many times as you like to master its content. You will be able to access additional video lessons as they are added. And besides the videos, there are self-assessment quizzes, spreadsheet tools, and other resources.
This Special Edition also includes a second course that we usually sell separately, "How to Evaluate an Income-Property Investment." That course includes another 7 videos that take you through a mixed-use property using RealData's Real Estate Investment Analysis software.
In addition, there are practice exercises you can use to reinforce what you've learned.
No. For lessons that focus on metrics or calculations, we provide a good number of practice problems and answers. We also include several spreadsheet templates that you can use to make many of the calculations and perform some of the analyses discussed in the course. We also provide quizzes so you can test your understanding of the material you've studied.
You don't need any outside software to take the course, although we do recommend you have Excel or a similar spreadsheet so that you can take advantage of the templates we provide. When you begin working on real deals of your own, we hope you'll take advantage of the powerful and sophisticated tools offered at realdata.com
"The course taught the most important concepts that I need to know in my early stage of learning real estate finance. The instructor has a keen talent for explaining the initially mind-boggling concepts in a painless way through easy-to-understand language and examples. I recommend this course to anyone who has any interest in the real estate field."
--Erica Lee
Professor Gallinelli has the magic to make complicated concepts easy to understand. ... I feel much more confident to analyze a property based on all the available information and to make informed decisions with limited information.
--Christina Chao
I found the course to be the perfect complement to your book. I appreciated the fact that each video is short which allows the user to digest the material in a simple fashion. I also like the fact that you incorporated a quiz to test my knowledge of each concept. All in all it was really what I was hoping for and I have way more confidence today when analyzing income properties than I did before the course.
