Course description
ED202 - Real Estate Finance
Real estate development is the focus of ED202, the third course in the EDFP Certification Program™. This course offers a step-by-step look at the real estate development process from the perspective of lenders, developers and investors. Participants analyze economic development real estate projects—retail, office, mixed-use—using the rates of return required by lenders, developers and investors, and determine the appropriate amount of public sector financing needed to make projects feasible. Public sector financing tools and techniques, including tax credits, designed to attract, leverage and complement private financing, are utilized to maximize equity while minimizing the amount of public investment.
