This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of financial analysis and management within a corporate real estate (CRE) context. Using case studies, the finance principles such as risk, return, cost of capital, net present value, and discount rate selection will be reviewed. Apply these concepts to the analysis of alternative lease structures, lease buyouts, and buy vs. lease decisions. Identify risk in portfolios and evaluate the impact on shareholder value. Perform financial analyses to identify the optimal decisions, quantify the impact of less than optimal decisions, identify inherent risk and recognize shortcomings. Apply appropriate risk/discount rates. Explain implication of scenarios, options, risk factors and underlying assumptions. Propose the best CRE recommendations that align with corporate priorities. MCR requirement.
