REAL 891 - Real Estate Entrepreneurship

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Linneman. This half semester mini-course exposes MBA students (and approved undergraduates) to the entrepreneurial opportunities, structures, investment decision making, and risks which are present in commercial real estate markets. Commercial real estate had historically represented a fertile area for young entrepreneurs as its asset base and relatively predictable cash flows allowed for substantial debt financing for entrepreneurs possessing limited equity. While this remains true, structural changes in the real estate industry are combining with emerging new technologies to eliminate some entrepreneurial opportunities while creating others. This course focuses on identifying realistic opportunities, how to develop the concept, identifying and mitigating risks, raising capital, and exiting. The course consists of lectures by the professor, case discussions, and guest lectures by leading entrepreneurs. The course readings are comprised of articles, real estate business plans, and offering documents.
