Add a recognized commercial real estate credential to your professional practice. The CIDC certification teaches CPAs, brokers, attorneys, and financial professionals how to speak the language of CRE capital — and connect clients to better investment outcomes.
A Commercial Investment Debt Consultant (CIDC) is a certified professional who understands how commercial real estate debt structures work — including LTV ratios, DSCR, bridge loans, and interest rate mechanics — and uses that knowledge to guide clients toward well-structured CRE investment decisions.
The Commercial Investment Debt Consultant certification was developed by Money Management Investment Fund LLC to give real estate professionals a working command of commercial real estate debt structures. Most real estate professionals — brokers, CPAs, attorneys, and advisors — engage with CRE transactions regularly but lack formal training in how the debt side of those deals actually works.
CIDC certification closes that gap. It teaches you the metrics lenders use, the structures borrowers navigate, and the decisions investors face — so you can serve your clients with greater clarity and professional authority. It is not a brokerage license. It is a knowledge credential that expands your professional value.
“In over 30 years of commercial real estate investing, the professionals who add the most value to their clients are the ones who understand how deals are structured — not just how properties are priced. I built the CIDC certification because that knowledge should not be reserved for institutional insiders. It belongs with every serious CRE professional.”
This certification is designed for professionals who interact with commercial real estate investors, borrowers, or transactions — and want to serve them with greater confidence and expertise.
“Have you ever been involved in a situation where your client or family member needed advice on a CRE acquisition due to partner dissolution or inheritance? Chances are you have but felt you lacked the confidence and knowledge in the space to help.
Fear not! This certification will give you the knowledge and skills to never be in that position again and help your clients, friends, and family make informed decisions that they will greatly benefit from.”

The CIDC certification was developed and is taught by Ben Soifer, Fund Manager at Money Management Investment Fund LLC. Ben has spent over three decades acquiring, managing, and financing income-producing commercial real estate — with a national footprint across Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and beyond.
His lending network includes life insurance companies, local and regional banks, and institutional equity providers. He has personally navigated the LTV decisions, DSCR calculations, and bridge loan structures covered in this course — not as a textbook exercise, but as a practitioner making real capital decisions. That experience is what makes the CIDC curriculum practically useful rather than theoretically correct.
Money Management Investment Fund LLC also offers commercial real estate bridge and permanent financing for qualified properties — giving CIDC-certified professionals a direct capital relationship to bring to their investor clients.
