Testimonials

“Leveraged Breakdowns has created an excellent program with nuanced instruction on real estate private equity – it’s very clear that they have both insider perspective and experience with a megafund, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry. Their ability to explain real estate LBO modeling and the supplemental source documents was huge for my understanding of real estate, and the structure/purpose of financial modeling itself. Honestly, I would even recommend Leveraged Breakdowns’ program to someone who is ambivalent about pursuing REPE at all. Last but definitely not least, their 1-on-1 mentoring calls were exceptionally helpful for me to stay level-headed and have objective direction while navigating the stressful, ever-accelerated process of recruiting.”

“This information and modeling training is awesome. You made it very easy to just jump in and starting learning. I purchased a real estate modelling course (think WallStreet Prep or BIWS) and I think that your course is leaps ahead of those courses. They take forever to get to the modeling and are extremely difficult to stay focused (mainly because it is quite boring), where you just jump right in and teach us how to do it from scratch. Just wanted to say thanks for the info you have provided and at a really great cost as well.

1 .The entire package is a slam dunk for breaking into the REPE industry; it over-prepared me for the interview process. The courses flipped my brain to begin thinking like an analyst and honed my technical excel skills.
2. Leveraged Breakdowns has everything you need and nothing that you don’t
3. Every single keystroke shown in the videos has meaning. Leveraged Breakdowns explains why it is important and also how it rolls up into the bigger picture. This style of teaching resonates with me.

“The courses offered by Leveraged Breakdowns are a great introduction to all things REPE. Although I had some knowledge regarding LBO modeling, there were many specificities found in this course such as Tax Assessments, Renovation Schedules, and Insurance Costs, which I have never seen covered elsewhere. Leveraged Breakdowns also has a great video which covers equity waterfalls. The moderators on the site are very helpful and approachable and in fact, offered me direct advice when my model was broken. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in Real Estate Private Equity modeling.

“Leveraged breakdowns is the best and only platform for someone who wants to prepare for a career in Real Estate Private Equity or Real Estate Investment Banking. The courses are intuitive, the content is digestible, and the interview guide has been invaluable.”

“Coming from a background of several years in the industry but with holes in my understanding of real estate acquisitions, the course helped fill in the gaps and finally granted me that “aha” moment. I found the videos and lectures to be not only comprehensive of what real-life PE underwriting looks like, but straightforward enough and easy to follow for the layman as well. If you’re looking for the specific tools you’ll need to breeze through the modeling test, or simply trying to go on to build or strengthen your own acquisition model, I could not recommend anything else. What finally sold me on the merits of the course, was being extended an offer for a senior analyst position at a widely known equity shop. I rocked the modelling test and had confidence in my final recommendation; a direct result working with Lev.”

“Did the program, absolutely fantastic. As someone who is a student of and works in re finance, I have to say that Leveraged Breakdowns is very comprehensive. The LBO model is the best explanation I have seen for a 1 hour type pe case study, and exactly what I have been asked in pe interviews. The program is no “b.s.” exactly what you need to know with no unnecessary, and time wasting fluff. With any questions about the program.”
