Investing with Urbanitae Step by Step: Academy Module 4
Last Updated on 22 July 2025 by Urbanitae
Urbanitae Academy continues to grow. After covering the fundamentals of investing, understanding the risks, and exploring the different types of real estate investments, Module 4 of Academy focuses on the most practical part: how to invest in Urbanitae projects. If you’ve already completed the previous modules and are thinking about taking the step toward your first investment, this content is for you.
Remember that Urbanitae Academy is in beta phase and access is prioritized for our investors. The course is available in Spanish and English, and for now we recommend accessing it from a desktop computer for the best experience.
Like the rest of the Academy content, this fourth module is hosted on Kwantic, a next-generation learning platform that allows you to personalize your learning journey. Once you register with your email and password, you’ll have direct access to all course materials.
What will you learn in this module?
Module 4 teaches you how to navigate the Urbanitae platform confidently, understand how projects are selected, compare the different types of investments available – capital appreciation, debt, and rental – and calculate the expected return of each project.
Here are some of the key points:
- What value Urbanitae brings as a real estate crowdfunding platform.
- How projects are selected: from developer vetting to technical, financial, and commercial validation.
- How investments are protected: use of special purpose vehicles (SPVs), developer co-investment, mortgage guarantees, and more.
- How to compare projects: differences between equity, debt, and rental projects.
- How returns are measured: CoC, estimated total return, and IRR.
- How to register and start investing step by step.
The process, explained with full transparency
One of the highlights of the module is how Urbanitae’s risk mitigation measures are explained. From the rigorous selection of projects to the use of real guarantees or the requirement for developers to commit their own capital, all decisions are designed to align investors’ interests and maximize safety.
The module also shows you how to assess different projects using metrics such as estimated total return or IRR – internal rate of return. You’ll also gain a clearer understanding of how to interpret the different return scenarios presented for each project.
What kind of investor are you?
Module 4 also includes a final activity to help you identify your investor profile and find out which types of projects suit you best – from conservative profiles that prioritize stability to more aggressive profiles that seek higher returns by taking on greater risk.
Take the next step
Urbanitae Academy doesn’t just educate you: it prepares you to invest with confidence and sound judgment. If you already have a clear sense of your financial goals and know your risk tolerance, this module will help you turn knowledge into action.
