Case Competitions

Where the classroom turns into a closing.

Teams take on a live-style real estate case, underwriting, presenting, and defending an investment thesis in front of industry judges.

How It Works

From team formation to final presentation.

Step 1

Teams form and pick a track

Members self-select into teams of three to five and choose an asset focus: multifamily, office, retail, or industrial.

Step 2

Underwrite the deal

Teams build a full financial model: rent roll, operating assumptions, debt structure, and a multi-year cash flow projection.

Step 3

Coaching and review

The VP of Case Competitions and alumni mentors review models and pitch decks, stress-testing assumptions before submission.

Step 4

Present to judges

Teams deliver a formal investment recommendation and field questions from a panel of real estate professionals.

Status

Our first case competition is in the works.

Work in progress

BRES hasn't entered a case competition yet, but our first one is planned: teams will analyze a real multifamily investment opportunity, underwriting the acquisition, modeling returns, and presenting a final investment recommendation. Want to be on the founding team?
