Commercial Mortgages Course Overview

This Commercial Mortgages course explores the elements determining loan details for income-producing investment properties. Commercial mortgages are used to fund real estate investment ventures. They are important for any credit analyst who wishes to understand issues relevant to real estate financing or would like to specialize in the real estate sector. In this course, we examine key metrics of the real estate lending process and dive into the key underwriting parameters for commercial mortgages. We also work through a realistic client example to understand the inner workings of a commercial mortgage deal. In this case study, we examine a rent roll analysis, risk rating, and the pricing of the loan.

The Commercial Mortgage Course Topic was informative
I appreciate how the topic has been opened up to new learner to the field of Commercial Mortgage. It was very informative. It falls short however on high-level overview how commercial mortgage works in function, rather than on the immediate details.
