Financing Real Estate Development Projects

Examine the real estate development finance process for new building projects and for renovations. Explore the mechanics, motivations, and requirements of the parties involved in the construction loan (debt) process. Topics include loan types, the development team, the lender’s credit criteria, the loan proposal, hard- and soft-cost budgets, the appraisal report, project feasibility, due diligence, construction contracts, and legal documentation. The course also covers guarantees; insurance and bonding; title insurance; liens; environmental reports; the Building Loan Agreement (BLA); requisitions, the funding process, and loan administration; retainage; the lender’s engineer; and the takeout.

It is expected that students have completed Real Estate Financial Analysis/REFI1-CE9351  or have equivalent real estate finance experience. An assessment will be given at the start of the course.

Note: Registering at least two weeks prior to the start of the course date is highly recommended. Popular classes fill up quickly and more specialized classes need sufficient enrollment.
