There was a thorough overview of the real estate market, and also exercises to check our understanding. Great experience!
This was a lovely experience for beginners, me having worked in the industry long enough, it is good for me to make connections and know the basics of US
An extremely informative introduction to the fundamentals of Real Estate. Cash flow importance, market analysis, and key operating metrics are a handful of the topics we covered. Can't wait for the next session.
An incredible FREE experience to allow young professionals to learn the key industry knowledge and insight needed for success in CRE!
It's been great
Cedric was a great instructor, and as a student who has never learned real estate before, this was super easy to understand!
It was very straightforward and interactive and I learned a lot in a short time.
The knowledge on private equity real estate and the different aspects the industry displays
What made the experience great was how Mr. Bobo was able to interact with all students by calling upon random students to answer questions. Furthermore, Mr. Bobo's lecture was paired with very aesthetically pleasing and informational slides.
I love the CRE fundamentals program because I feel like I have learned so much about real estate in such a short amount of time. Everyone is kind and helpful, and the program is very interactive.
It was a fun experience that allowed me to work with my peers and work on real estate projects.
great presentation!
Very interactive and informational session- I had no idea about Real Estate investing but this session gave me a solid foundation!
I was able to learn information that can benefit me in my college and business career.
Just getting started to give a full review. Good at involving us even while there are many in attendance, speaker gets us to think - although would suggest not talking as fast to grasp content better. Offered good example to work on to gain better understanding and knowledge. Great was able to work in mini teams and get to know one another more.
Incorporating every student and encouraging discussion and participation. Also, putting to use what is being taught in firsthand experiences and activities.
The Project Destined Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Fundamentals Certificate Program Level I session by Cedric Bobo was excellent. Cedric broke down real estate concepts that used to confuse me in a straightforward manner. For anyone interested in mastering Commercial Real Estate, I highly recommend this program!
The zoom meeting was very engaging and I liked how everyone was able to provide input and feedback on the material being taught.
The content was extremely informative and helped me explore the field of real estate, something I hadn't received exposure to in the past. The speaker was engaging with the student attendees and involved us in the learning process through questioning. However, there weren't many other opportunities for engagement besides that and the Breakout Rooms.
