Alternative and Distressed Investment Strategies

This course introduces students to the basic framework of commercial real estate investment through a lens of distressed and distorted assets and markets. Basic elements of bankruptcy procedure and valuation will be discussed, along with a specific concentration on those issues most pertinent to workout situations. Common characteristics and factors that lead to distress also will be addressed. Students will be exposed to cases and experts that bring forth legal, valuation, strategic, and other key considerations typical in commercial workouts—with maximum recovery from a lender, borrower, and joint-venture partner perspective. Prerequisite exposure to real estate finance, property valuation, CRE capital markets, negotiation, and real property law are strongly encouraged.

Strongly recommended for REFI students
