Want to invest in real estate? Start here

A few weeks ago, we launched Urbanitae Academy, our free financial education platform — and now the third module is available. With this initiative, we want to help our investors — and anyone interested in investing — better understand how finance, risks, and investment opportunities work. Because we believe that investing with knowledge is the best way to invest with confidence.

Urbanitae Academy is currently in beta phase and available for investors in Spanish and English. For the best experience, we recommend accessing it from a computer. The platform is hosted on Kwantic, a next-generation learning solution that personalizes your learning journey and lets you learn at your own pace.

Today we’d like to tell you about the third module of the Academy: Investing in Real Estate. If you’ve always wanted to understand what this type of investment is about and how it can fit into your financial strategy, this course is for you.

What you’ll learn in Module 3

The third module of Urbanitae Academy is designed to help you evaluate the different types of real estate investment, understand their strategies and financing methods, and decide which one best fits your personal goals and investment timeline.

You’ll learn, among other things:

• What sectors make up the real estate world: residential, commercial, industrial, and land, and what distinguishes each one.
• What are the advantages of real estate over other assets: rental income, appreciation potential, inflation protection, etc.
• The difference between active investing (buying, renovating, renting) and passive investing (through platforms like Urbanitae or real estate funds).
• How to define your investment time horizon and how that influences the strategy that suits you best.
• What alternative financing is and why real estate crowdfunding has become a key tool to access opportunities once reserved for large capital investors.

You’ll also discover how real estate crowdfunding really works — and why more than 35,000 investors at Urbanitae have already achieved internal rates of return (IRR) above 12% with this type of investment.
