RE 6220 - Real Estate Practicum


Credits: 2

A real estate industry-focused experiential learning opportunity that prepares students for careers in commercial real estate. The backbone of the course is the management of the SMU Real Estate Impact Investment Fund, a discretionary, student-managed, open-ended “evergreen” investment fund that targets direct equity investments in a variety of real estate projects in communities where the investment will create a demonstrable impact. Students learn all aspects of real estate private equity investing, including fundraising, originating and sourcing transactions, asset management, project capitalization, and dispositions. Students work in groups and are responsible for preparing investment memoranda and presenting prospective investments to the fund’s Investment Committee for approval. This course requires significant out-of-class work and enrollment in the spring term course RE 6221 . Course enrollment is by application. Prerequisites: RE 6411 . Instructor consent required.
