Investment FUNdamentals: What's my return on investment?


Description
This is a challenging course is designed for serious real estate practitioners, appraisers, and investor-wannabes who want to understand more about how to calculate returns on investment. Students receive a professional textbook and an Excel spreadsheet with enrollment in the course.

You will need a calculator for this course, but it can be a simple, hand-held calculator. We will work together step-by-step on creating a investment analysis using the most sophisticated ROI--financial management rate of return. The course focuses on long-term (more than one year) investments rather than short-term.
