Introduction
Make more informed real estate finance and investment decisions with an in-depth understanding of markets, economics, and finance.
The Real Estate Economics and Finance online certificate course prepares you to critically evaluate property investment options and make informed decisions based on sound economic and financial theories and research. Through these lenses, explore the functioning of urban real estate markets with guidance from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) faculty and industry experts. You’ll also learn how to use different techniques to value property and how those valuations and real estate portfolio considerations are used to make informed real estate investment decisions.
Over eight weeks, you’ll explore sustainable real estate practices and their value, as well as fund management, which includes how best to fund the purchase of a property. At the end of the course, you will have completed a capstone project, demonstrating your ability to apply the theoretical frameworks you develop during this real estate finance course to inform your assessment of the property development process and real estate opportunities.
