As particpants study primary and secondary repayment sources, they also learn how to:

Calculate existing and stabilized net operating income,
Determine debt service coverage, debt yield, and maximum supportable loan amount,

Once they’ve completed their study of loan analysis, participants leanr how to properly document and manage a commercial real estate loan.
