Introduction to Pro Forma Modeling with Excel: ULI Live Online Workshop (July 2012)
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE OFFERINGS.
Held over four sessions, this online workshop will guide students through the construction and manipulation of a basic multifamily investment pro forma. Starting with a blank spreadsheet, the program is geared toward individuals who have never completed a pro forma from scratch. Students will receive step-by-step direction in the construction of this investment pro forma. At the end of the last session, participants will have completed their own investment pro forma and will have gained a new appreciation for how valuation and investment decisions are made. Each session of the workshop is designed to build on the previous one with each participant having a completed pro forma model at the conclusion. Participants are expected to use learned skills to independently build individual sections and maintain the pace of the workshop. However, to avoid the possibility of anyone falling behind, the completed stages will be distributed the evening before each workshop. At the conclusion of the workshop, the instructor’s copy will be distributed, which will provide, at a minimum, a working pro forma investment model for each participant. The program is designed to be interactive. The instructor will be available by e-mail between sessions to assist participants.

Session 4: July 19, 2012 1:30–3:30 p.m. ET The final session will pull it all together and value the cash flows for investment decisions.
