Are there any decent courses out there teaching CRE financing?

Question

I am promoting a commercial real estate course, but I want to hear from the community what other courses are out there because I haven't been able to find any covering commercial real estate financing - the technical aspects of investing. Does anyone have any course recommendations?

Looking for cost-effective courses that don't take months to complete, thanks!

Lunch or coffee with a dozen different loan officers from different banks will give you an education.

Books and online courses can provide some fundamentals but lending especially is an ever changing with rates and loan programs. Every lender is different.

Call and email small banks and credit unions, go talk with them and make a spreadsheet with grid to reference. Learn the process, do they have a loan committee, so they prefer one asset class vs another etc?

Plenty of modeling out there, its underwriting which is much harder to teach. Along with setting investor goals (asset management).

Talking to lenders is probably the quickest/cheapest/most reliable way to educate yourself. Most of them are happy to talk.

For formal education CCIM is probably the way to go, but I've heard it's not all that valuable. I'd be more likely to just review commercial financing videos on youtube or get a book on it.
