Taking The CCIM Course (Certified Commercial Investment Member)
Background: Capital Markets broker with Avison Young in Raleigh focusing transactions on office and retail. Decided during the pandemic that I was going to use the opportunity to sharpen skills with education. My college degree is in accounting and after a couple years as an auditor I decided to jump into real estate as a broker.
CCIM 101 - Financial Analysis (July 2020): Online course was taken over 2 weeks and I passed the test on August 1st. Took the class with Jeremey Cryier and would recommend him as an instructor. Course was certainly a good amount of information - I imagine the 1 week in person course is really straining. The course really gave me a good understanding of how to underwrite a deal from cash perspective, debt perspective, tax perspective and more. Having a background in accounting helped me absorb the material at the rate its given at.
