Mastering Real Estate Investing – University Curriculum –FACULTY EDITION
If you're teaching real estate investment or finance, you already know the challenge: balancing theory, technique, and practical relevance within a fixed semester. I spent over a decade working on that balancing act at Columbia University's MS in Real Estate Development program, and I built this resource from that experience.
I designed it to support your teaching—not replace it. Students purchase access directly at academic pricing, comparable to a textbook. Your institution pays nothing, and I provide all instructor resources at no charge.
Designed for use in:
- Undergraduate real estate finance and investment courses
- Graduate MSRE, MBA, and related programs
- Real estate development courses
- Professional and continuing education settings
Why Faculty Adopt This Resource:
- Your institution pays nothing—students purchase access like they would a textbook
- Works with your existing syllabus—use what fits, skip what doesn't
- Focuses on real-world commercial analysis, not just theory
- Shows students the techniques they'll actually use in practice
- Requires minimal prep work—just point students to the modules you want them to see
What’s included for adopting faculty:
When you adopt this resource, you get full access to everything—I provide it all at no cost to you and your institution.
- Complete instructor access to all course content
- Lesson outlines and pacing guidance with examples of how the material works in practice

- Faculty FAQ addressing common adoption and implementation questions
All instructor materials are provided at no cost to adopting faculty.
Resource scope and structure:
The material starts with foundational concepts and moves deliberately toward applied valuation, financing structures, and case-based decision making. I emphasize how assumptions, cash flows, financing, and risk interact in real investment decisions—not just the formulas, but the thinking behind them.
- Core principles of commercial real estate investment
- Real estate financing techniques
- Valuation and cash flow analysis
- Risk, return, and market considerations
- Case studies with detailed practical analysis
