How to Quickly Evaluate Real Estate Opportunities (Without Opening Excel)

We regularly respond to questions from A.CRE and Accelerator members as it relates to analyzing and evaluating real estate investment opportunities. Recently, in an Accelerator forum post a young professional marveled at how certain individuals in his office could look at a deal and within a matter of minutes make an assessment as to whether the deal was worth spending more time on. He asked if we had any insights into how that was possible.

In this episode of the A.CRE Audio Series, Spencer, Michael and Sam discuss back-of-the-envelope analysis. They discuss specific techniques for quickly getting to a decision as to whether dig deeper, or move on from a deal. And they share insights from their personal experience, having collectively underwritten over $30 billion of real estate in their careers.
