Today I learned about Asset Valuation for the first time and found it very interesting! We reviewed the income approach and formulas on how to get the Cap Rate, NOI, and Sales Price.
Amazing experience super helpful
Great learning experience
I just finished my Project Destined Commercial Real Estate Fundamentals Course Level II: Asset Valuation. It was very informational and helped me brush up on some things and also gave me some information to broaden my knowledge. Overall, my experience was very good.
I really enjoy the layout of the class. It is very engaging, and I really enjoy the material. It is straightforward and the instructor knows how to properly address questions.
I enjoyed learning lots of new information through this session. I also appreciate that I am not only learning useful information, but it is also engagingly presented to me, which is more beneficial for my retention of everything we cover.
I enjoyed this session greatly! Valuation methodology is a critical skill in the field of finance, and I really value learning the valuation techniques to real estate asset classes in alternative investments. I came in expecting a DCF analysis with a CCA, coming from a Finance background, but was not unsatisfied. I did think there could be more explanation on the Income Approach to Deal Valuation, but the Sales Comparison Approach was thoroughly fleshed out!
Great experience!
I appreciate how welcoming the community is at Project Destined, especially when teaching these important skills of real estate.
Cedric Bobo is thoughtful, and takes the time to thoroughly explain all concepts.
Project Destined encourages me to learn and do better every day
Very organized and engaging
It was in detail, understood valuation methods in real estate
great experience all around!
Very informative
Really did help gain exposure to PE RE, along with meeting other likeminded people. Just the amount you get to learn in these environments is really helpful, and it being remote makes it accessible.
I had an amazing experience, and learned so much.
I really liked how in-depth yet simple the lecture was. Everything was clear and I liked the material
Interactive elements, and Cedric is a great teacher.

Jan 12,2025I highly recommend starting out with their CRE Fundamentals Certificate Program if you are looking to get into real estate. It will definitely help you with getting to know the basics and practice what you learned in these sessions.
