The class was designed by Joshua Kahr. Mr. Kahr is internationally recognized as an expert in real estate financial modeling using both Argus and Excel. For over a decade, he has taught his Argus training class for leading institutions including commercial banks, investment banks, private real estate investment firms, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), business schools, developers, and government agencies.

We can travel to your location and deliver a customized training class for you and your colleagues. All attendees receive a copy of “The Analyst Guide to Assess+RE” – this is the definitive guide on how to use Assess+RE effectively.

At this time, the class is only available for groups. We do not run the class in an “open enrollment” format, but we expect to in 2019.
