A good introduction to the topic. Presentation is basically a reading of the slides, but the slide deck is hearty. A few more examples working through cap rates and such would be welcome, but I feel the subject was pretty well-covered overall.

The instructor was very knowledgable and he covered lots of material in the time allotted. His quicker speech pattern kept the course moving at a good pace. I will definitely take other course by this instructor.

This course was a great overview of commercial real estate. The instructor was able to impart the big picture of commercial real estate in a little over an hour.

Good introduction with a lot to cover in one hour. But also some of the material is getting dated (i.e. LIBOR is not a rate used after 6/30/23, etc.).

there is a ton of information that could be split into two different courses. first the financial aspect, then the operational end.

Still like the speaker to vary from the slides and offer more personal experiences...he obviously has much based upon biography

I liked the industry specific offering of this couse. Real estate education is rarely offered for CPE for accountants.
