The academy and the podium

We teach what
we practice.

From Section 8 public housing to nine degrees. We train the industry we work in, and we speak to it.

Practitioner training from people who file the applications, close the deals and sit through the hearings.

We are in the room either way.

Keynotes, panels and workshops, from a firm that files the applications rather than one that studies them.

Why this is hard to copy

The person teaching it is the person doing it

Most real estate education is taught by people who study the industry. This is taught by someone underwriting deals in it the same week.

Dr. Nash is an assistant teaching professor in the Executive MBA Program at the UMKC Henry W. Bloch School of Management and Director of the Lewis White Real Estate Center. He is also closing affordable housing transactions.

That is the whole difference. A case study written from the outside describes a decision. A case study written by the person who made it explains why the alternatives were rejected.
