Hey all,
For everyone that wanted a case study, I thought I would help out and post a list of Case Studies that Kahr just put on LlinkedIn.

Awesome resource!
For anyone who is wondering - he said in the post that he is working on compiling the answer keys for these so keep an eye out.
Hey. It's me (Josh Kahr). That's the plan... will do in June or so... I'm busy with other stuff right now. If you have any you want added, email me.
This is great! Thank you!
Out of curiosity, can you do these in Excel or do you need Argus? I flipped through the first couple and those seemed doable without a license.
most if not all should be excel
From a quick skim through, all Excel. The most complex stuff I saw are waterfalls, base year stop recoveries (super easy to model in Excel), and % chance of renewal.
Argus modelling tests are actually quite rare from what I know.
All Excel.
Its funny, the most simple one except if a one hour time constraint is the final one.
anyone get a hand of the solutions?
Could someone comment here solutions they're getting that he says are correct?
Super cool stuff! anyone know if similar resource available for PE?
Haven't ever modeled acquisitions with TI/LC. Looking at the 2nd case study balsa construction. Would you have the TI/LC money come out day one even though its not actually getting paid until months 8 and 15?
no, mechanically it would be either a negative cash flow in month 1 and 15 or year 1 and 2 respectively. But if the NCF for those periods is negative you would need a cash flow reserve that would be capitalized in the sources and uses to either meet a hurle requirement or the dscr requirement. Happy to explain further.
Thanks, that makes sense conceptually but I'm struggling with thinking through how to model it. If those charges hit still during a development or cf negative period I'd know how to set up a draw but not sure how it works when the property is already cf positive.
Awesome, thank you kindly
Any update on the answer keys? Thanks again for everything!
Any update on when the answer key will be public?
Hey guys, I've pretty much worked through all of them, almost done with Black Capital. PM if anyone needs an unofficial 'answer key'
Hello, I would be really interested for your unofficial "answers keys" for the "challenges cases" since I cannot find all of them on Kahr's website. It would be really helpful for me as I am trying to prepare for CRE Interviews. Thanks!
PM’d :)

Any update on the official answer key?
Any update on the official answer key?
he's posting the answer keys one by one, rather than all at once. he just uploaded the first case, Abascus, last week.
Where is it posted?
Hi All ~ if anyone has the unofficial answer keys from personal attempts, would love to connect to cross check my attempts / understanding (I'm a newbie to RE modeling). Please PM!
Check PM :)
Hi, I was wondering if you could share your unofficial answer sheet for Kahr's.
Hey man do you mind PMing me
Approx how long did abacus and balsa take for you guys? I’m a newbie so just wanted to see how my skills compare
Bump. Also he just added answers for two more case studies
Bump
Anyone have any of the answers to some of these? These look great, coming from corporate banking background so a little lost lol
If anyone has the answers please PM me
have you gotten the answers
Echo RE the answer keys.
Side note....has anybody solved this case from A.CRE? If so, could you post your excel to google docs and share the link?
THE STONES HOTEL – FINANCIAL MODELING TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
This is a variation of a timed technical interview test previously given by a global real estate private equity firm as part of its hiring process.
Participants are given 60 minutes to complete this test.
ASSUMPTIONS – THE STONES HOTEL
QUESTIONS – THE STONES HOTEL
Has anyone solved this case study or does anyone know if Josh ever solved it for the answer key? I'm looking to reference it as a check.
For the EBITDA margins, are they just provided as a way to back into expenses since no expenses are given?
Yes, it derives the input for expenses - I'd also like to see the official answers, if anyone has it.
He has the solutions up for $300 with videos, I get releasing these for free but seems answers never came and to ask for $300 seems like a lot... but I also get its his job.
He goes through them on his YouTube page (Joshua Kahr)
Does anyone have excel backup from the youtube videos?
Looks like these case studies and models are largely academically inclined. Personally hate the 'bate and switch' marketing tactics of posting something and then dangling a carrot - if you want to charge a fee, then be straight forward about it, no point of time wasting and keep your case studies.
Anyone have solutions for the Purple Partners case?
