The real estate market in Dubai and the wider GCC has seen seismic changes in recent months. While the market is still settling and fi nding its natural level it is more important than ever that you take a long hard look at your real estate activities. Although volatility remains high, moving markets will always present opportunities for those with the skills and insights to make bold moves.
By attending IIR’s Real Estate Finance And Investment course you will gain a thorough understanding of the valuation process, as well as the key valuation methods and the different scenarios for their application. You will also explore the principles behind financing a project. This will include a review of the different fi nancial instruments, how they can be used and their impact on the overall performance of the real estate project. To maximise this learning opportunity practical simulations exercises have been included throughout the course. Please be sure to bring your own laptop to ensure you can take part in these exercises to help link theory with practical systems and reinforce your understanding of the material presented.
