Foundations of Real Estate Financial Modelling introduces students and professionals to the basics of real estate finance theory before providing a step-by-step guide for financial model construction using Excel. Foundations of Real Estate Financial Modelling is specifically designed to provide an overview of pro forma modelling for real estate projects.

Individual chapters are separated by functional unit and build upon themselves to include information on:
- Amortization

- Multi-Family Unit
- Development/Construction Addition(s)
- Waterfall (Equity Bifurcation)
- Accounting Statements

Further chapters are dedicated to risk quantification and include scenario, stochastic and Monte Carlo simulations, waterfalls and securitized products.

The book provides individuals with a step-by-step instruction on how to construct a real estate financial model that is both scalable and modular.
