Join us for a two-day dynamic interactive experience and learn all about "The Numbers Behind Housing Development".

If you're determined to have a future in real estate development, understanding the numbers is a must. Our instructors will draw from their own experiences and case studies to teach you the basics of proforma development, land and project valuation, sensitivity analysis and financing criteria.



Expertly facilitated by Michael von Hausen of MVH Urban Planning & Design, this course is limited to just 48 students and is for UDI members only.


At the end of this course, you'll possess a good understanding of proformas from various perspectives: valuation expert, developer, and lenders. This is also an opportunity to expand your professional network.
