Amazing experience!
Engaging and very interesting
Great lesson
It was the clear and concise manner in which the industry expertise that was conveyed which made it so enjoyable. Cedrics tone was never belittling or condescending in Cedrics tone, only an intense desire to help us all learn and grow.
Provided comprehensive lecture/training then hands on practice in a breakout room on property valuation
Was a very basic and easily understandable intro into Property Valuation
Very consistent and easy to follow
This is a great program that offers the fundamentals of real estate, which is a great help for students who are interested in the industry!
It was very informative.
Really good experience, learned a lot
The sessions are engaging and dynamic. There is a strong commitment to participatory culture. The instructor is lively and is invested in his teaching (not just reading slides). Although there needs to be some minor improvements, the program is interesting and insightful.
Very informative and organized!
The community and support system is unparalled.
This level had less to go over than level one which allowed for more questions to be asked. Cedric got to answer each and every one. We went over how to do a Sales Comp approach and Income approach when finding the market value of a target property. He defined a lot of terms making it easy to understand for those of us with less experience, but for those on the call with Real Estate experience it was still helpful because he answered anyone's question about the markets, cap rates, etc.
Great course. For those who want to Learn more about real estate, the analysis and investment side of it.
Learned a lot from Cedric and am excited for the next session!
I am so incredibly grateful to be part of the Project Destined Commercial Real Estate Fundamentals Course! As an MBA student, my schedule is packed, leaving little room for traditional real estate courses. However, in just two weeks with taking Project Destined's course, I have gained so much confidence in understanding complex real estate topics. Today, we focused on valuation—exploring different approaches like the income and sales comp methods. The hands-on learning experience has been both empowering and eye-opening.
I learned a lot and got great energy from Cedric!
The presentation skills and the interaction between the students.
