About This Event

The Gulf region is known worldwide for the scale of growth in its property markets. Unprecedented growth has led to exceptional returns, but as competition continues to increase and deliveries begin to accelerate, a drive to quality is going to leave only the most professional investors and developers in a position to prosper.

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 financial 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 excerisies to help link
theory with practical systems and reinforce your understanding of the
material presented.

Julian Roche has delivered numerous professional development programmes in Dubai and around the Gulf and has many years of professional experience in this region.
