Model Like a Deal-Seasoned Pro – S1E10
Welcome back to the A.CRE Audio Series. In this episode, we chat once again with the creators Adventures in CRE, Spencer Burton and Michael Belasco, about the A.CRE Accelerator Program. The Accelerator is their premium training program designed to help people gain an in depth understanding and master institutional quality real estate financial modeling.
About this Episode – Model Like a Deal-Seasoned Pro
During our conversation, we’ll be diving deep into the Accelerator Program, what if offers, and why it was created. This is a great program for those looking to perfect and take their real estate financial modeling skills to the next level.
Michael and Spencer discuss what it was like early on going through the growing pains of learning this critical fundamental skill and how, for almost all of us in the industry, there was no direct guidance or program out there to help put them on a guided path to institutional quality proficiency. A lot of their learning was over years of study, experience, and trial and error. They discuss how through all that, they were able to develop this program, which provides a direct shortcut and gives members exactly what they need and in the right order so they don’t need to waste any time.
Join Spencer and Michael as they share their thoughts on the Accelerator program during this episode of the A.CRE Audio Series.
