“The term “value-add” is used a lot in the commercial real estate industry, however, the main challenge for real estate professionals is how to actually identify those opportunities and determine the highest and best use for a property with all creative and financial considerations taken into account,” says McDermott.

“Successful real estate entrepreneurs are those who understand the process that combines a vision, careful analysis and insightful due diligence. This course will work through that process and provide helpful tools that can be utilized throughout property sectors and a diversity of scenarios.”

This course is a part of the ULI Real Estate Entrepreneur Programs which offer content and an experience specifically targeted to the needs of real estate professionals driving innovation and change at the neighborhood and community level.
