MD3 Real Estate & Construction Academy

Let me introduce you to my friend Michael Donovan the III (MD3). He’s an architect, licensed GC, developer and two time Trojan (BS Architecture and Masters of Real Estate Development). I met him almost 20-years ago and he made some intros for me back then that led to my first job in commercial real estate capital markets and going to grad school at USC (Fight On!). Super solid guy.

I’m introducing you to him today because he’s created something that I think is really cool. A very detailed and comprehensive online training academy covering the entire real estate development process from soup to nuts spread over 17 courses covering:

THE USE OF LAND

  • 1 - The Role of the Real Estate Developer

  • 2 - How do we use Land in America?

  • 3 - The Development of Land

FUNDAMENTALS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

  • 4 - Planning, Zoning, & Entitlement

  • 5 - Community & Government Relations

  • 6 - Capital, Finance & Investing

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

  • 7 - How to Build a House

  • 8 - Residential Development - Single Family

  • 9 - Residential Development - Multifamily

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

  • 10 - Commercial Development Process

  • 11 - Retail, Restaurant & Mixed-Use Development

  • 12 - Office and Industrial Development

  • 13 - Hospitality, Hotel & Resort Development

GETTING THE DEVELOPMENTS DONE

  • 14 - Working with Project Consultants

  • 15 - Construction & Project Management

  • 16 - Sales, Brokerage & Contracts

DEVELOPMENT SPECIALTIES

  • 17 - Sustainability Part 1

  • 18 - Sustainability Part 2

MD3 has over 32 years of development experience across including many different property types (including theme parks!) and he’s downloaded all that expertise into these courses. This is an amazing resource for experienced CRE professionals to fill in gaps in their CRE development knowledge or migrate from another CRE position such as brokerage into development.

Additionally, there’s a special opportunity here, MD3 regularly teaches classes at USC and UCLA and is guest lecturing a class on development in Los Angeles for the UCLA Extension Real Estate Principles Course this coming Monday (the 26th). The class will be live streamed and there are limited seats available to attend online.

If you want to learn more about his courses or see if you can attend the UCLA live stream class on Monday click this button to email MD3 directly.

I don’t get any economic benefit from this - I’m just promoting something I think is super cool created by an awesome guy.

  • EN Capital is NOT a broker dealer and does not sell securities

  • EN Capital is capital advisory firm / intermediary and NOT a direct capital source. Seriously, every time we sent out an email someone replies and gets pissy when they realize we’re intermediaries and not direct lenders. It’s clear on our website, LinkedIn and emails. We don’t know how to make it more obvious. Don’t be that guy.
