Real estate investment and ownership generally require sizeable amount of money, often beyond the resources of the individual or firm undertaking the investment. Hence, most investors are in practice constrained by the huge capital outlay required. Financing is thus an important component of investing in real estate. The capital typically comes from two sources: a lender that advances borrowed funds in exchange for future payments, and an equity investor who provides the remainder of the capital. Lenders are primarily concerned about two loan risks: Loss of loan principal & non-payment of debt service. Equity investors, on the other hand, are motivated by cash flow, value appreciation, and the benefits of tax shelter.
Blending theory with application to real world problems and illustrated using case studies, this module covers issues related to fund raising for real estate investment. In the first part, alternative ways to finance real estate via the traditional as well as innovative routes of project, corporate and structured debt financing will be covered. This is followed by fund raising via the equity route, focusing primarily on joint-ventures, private funds, and public listed REITs.
Another distinguishing feature of the ECREF is the Module Coordinators who act as a facilitator of learning to ensure rigour, continuity and synergy so that all the sessions are rigorous and will fit together.
Participants will gain an innovative perspective of real estate financing and securitisation from distinguished professors and practitioners who are thought leaders in the field.
This program will benefit professionals and managerial staff employed by REITs, private real estate funds, real estate investment companies, property development companies, real estate consultants, investment banks, financial institutions, and government agencies, particularly those who are involved in business development and asset management.
