Upcoming Course: Fundamentals of Real Estate Entrepreneurship

On April 14th and 15th we’re hosting Thesis Driven’s course, Fundamentals of Real Estate Entrepreneurship, live in NYC.

It’s designed for ambitious professionals who want to break into real estate—but not just as employees or passive investors. As entrepreneurs.

This case-based course follows the journey of a first-time real estate entrepreneur taking her first deal from idea to execution. Through her story, students will learn the real-world process of sourcing, underwriting, financing, and building a real estate project—without needing deep experience or capital. Sign up

The course will teach a step-by-step framework for turning a small real estate idea into a real project—one that builds equity, ownership, and long-term upside.

Each week, you’ll learn a new piece of the entrepreneurial process:

• How to identify and evaluate real estate opportunities. Understand the local market, compare asset types, and assess risk/reward

• How to underwrite a project and evaluate its feasibility. Learn to build a basic pro forma, estimate costs, returns, and financing needs

• How to raise equity and secure debt. Explore how entrepreneurs fund projects creatively—with limited capital of their own

• How to negotiate win-win partnerships. From landowners to investors to contractors, learn to build a team that shares the upside

• How to navigate permitting, zoning, and public approvals. Master the soft skills needed to work with cities and communities

• How to deliver the finished product. Get from spreadsheet to cash flowing asset—and learn what it means to actually bring a project to life

By the end, you’ll not only understand the real estate development process—you’ll have a business plan for your first (or next) project.

You can go here to sign up and learn more about the course.
