Real Estate Finance and Investment Center

MEMBERS-ONLY LOGIN Our Real Estate Finance and Investment Center is the first research center at a leading university to specialize in the intersection of real estate and finance. With its home in the Department of Finance, the Center takes advantage of the exceptional finance faculty in the department to cultivate cutting-edge research on finance-related real estate issues such as the valuation of mortgage-backed securities, the financial structure of real estate investment trusts, the agency issues associated with real estate financing agreements and the efficiency of real estate investment markets. While the undergraduate and MBA educational offerings in real estate will continue to be highly multidisciplinary drawing from finance, economics, law, and community and regional planning, the research emphasis is on real estate finance.
