WHY PROPERTYMETRICS
You do the work. We guide you through it.
The goal is not to watch hours of abstract lectures. It is to build the model, perform the analysis, and understand why the answer changes.
Each course turns a real CRE assignment into a sequence you can follow, repeat, and use again later.
01
Follow a real case from start to finish
Work through an office acquisition, valuation assignment, loan request, lease decision, development, or partnership structure instead of learning concepts in isolation.

Build the model yourself
Use unlocked Excel files, worksheets, and templates to inspect the formulas, change assumptions, and reproduce the analysis.
03
Understand what drives the result
See how rents, expenses, financing, discount rates, development costs, and partnership terms change the decision.
04
Keep the material for later
Return to the videos and reuse the models and templates whenever a similar assignment shows up at work.

WHAT LEARNERS SAY
Built for people doing real CRE work
“I nailed a financial modeling test and got a job offer at a great real estate private equity shop thanks to you guys.”
Omar Morales · Investment Analyst
“I never would have figured out how to model waterfalls so efficiently and accurately on my own. This course was 10/10. I am already using the formatting and formulas in my own models at work.”
Zach Skolnick · Real Estate Analyst, Portsmouth
“I am a commercial real estate lender for a large regional bank and I recommend PropertyMetrics to everyone.”
Andrew Levin · Commercial Lender
“I am very impressed with your product. I have to also compliment your company on clearly explaining valuation concepts to me. To put this into context, I asked my professor in my investment class last week if he knew of a way to value an income property using discounted cash flow analysis. Long story short…you guys are smarter than my professor.”
Jonathan Torres · College Student
