Real Estate Fundamentals

Seven modules introduce commercial real-estate lending through property types, deal structures, analysis and the transaction process. CFI includes a practical credit example so learners can connect financial information with the questions a lender must investigate. It complements modeling study by explaining the context in which a loan is considered.

What you will learn

• Distinguish commercial property financing structures
• Review a basic credit-analysis case
• Explain the stages of a real-estate transaction

Before you enroll

The estimated workload is three hours. Loan structures and lender requirements vary by market, institution and date. Use current official terms when researching an actual product rather than treating a classroom example as an available offer. The completion certificate is educational and does not grant lending, brokerage or investment-advice authority.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Map a fictional property transaction from initial review to closing. Identify the information needed for a credit assessment and explain how a missing lease detail could affect the analysis.
