Today’s world is one of much financial uncertainty.  However, commercial real estate has continued to outpace the rising tides of inflation or increased interest rates and lead to financial freedom for many.  At Money Management Investment Fund, LLC we believe in sharing our knowledge with as many people as possible not only because it is the right thing to do but also because it strengthens the commercial real estate sector by having more and more qualified investors involved in this industry.  In the spirit of reaching as many people as possible, MMIFL has decided to discount our premium certification to just $15 on Udemy!  Read on below to see what is covered in the course and how it can help you navigate the world of CRE to your own financial independence. 

What is CIDC Certification? 

The CIDC certification course was created by Ben Soifer, a vetted real estate professional and investor. With over 30 years of hands-on experience in real estate investing, Ben started this course for new and seasoned professionals alike to learn how to consult with others on creating the real estate portfolio of their dreams. 

This one-of-a-kind course is designed for all investors and real estate professionals and will highlight the intricacies of exploring credit scores and how they’ll affect your rates. It teaches you how to analyze deals on a technical level so you can guide others through the process that benefits their unique situation. This course is not about how to broker deals. Instead, it’s giving you the authority and skill set you need to help others gauge whether or not they are approaching an agreement that is right for them. And how to negotiate a better one. 

CIDC certification is a big step toward becoming a Financial Freedom Ambassador (FFA). Being an FFA comes with an immense amount of power and knowledge. This course is a tool being implemented across the nation to share nuggets of wisdom with those exploring the commercial investment space. Mastering the techniques behind financial freedom is the easy part. The hard part is conquering the stability and maintenance of your money management.
