You'll learn not just what to do in Excel, but why it matters - and how to make your model flexible, accurate, and easy to follow.Throughout the course, you'll:Build a working waterfall model from scratch using standard formulasCalculate capital returns, IRRs, and profit splits across multiple tiersUnderstand how preferred returns and promotes are triggeredLearn practical techniques to avoid common modelling errorsTest the logic using built-in checks and structured inputsAll you need is a basic understanding of Excel and some exposure to real estate or investment cash flows.
