MSBX 5605 - Real Estate Investment and Risk Management
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
This course empowers students with the knowledge and tools needed to understand, evaluate, and manage real estate investment risk and to recognize and capitalize upon potential real estate investment opportunities. We begin by exploring the types of risk investors face in residential real estate, mortgages, and investment properties and how to quantify those risks. With that foundation, we then delve into the history of such risks (e.g., the Great Depression, Great Recession, etc.) and regulations intended to address them. Finally, we explore current topics which are increasingly important in real estate (e.g., climate change, technology, �) including the risks and/or opportunities these challenges may present.
