Real Estate Co-Powerment Series

Description

Launched in early 2017 and hosted by our partner Omicelo Cares, the Co-Powerment Series is an education platform that demystifies the real estate development process, explains its associated terminology and brings to light the productive role community members and organizations play in the real estate and economic development inside their neighborhoods through a combination of in-class instruction, coaching, and mentorship.

Goal of the Program

An overarching goal of the education series is to shrink the technical proficiency gap that exists between real estate developers and community leaders that are involved in local development projects.

What We Provide

At the end of the course, students have the skills to:

Evaluate deals and negotiate based on market realities and for the benefit of residents;
Improve their ability to articulate community vision and expected outcomes utilizing the language of development;
Identify creative ways to participate financially in development opportunities
