Watching a model get built doesn't mean you can build one.
Two independently replicated findings, neither about finance, because the gap between watching and doing shows up wherever it has been measured.

Practiced recall vs. re-readingIn REPE, PE and IB recruiting, the modeling test is not a formality on the way to the interview. It is the interview: a blank sheet and a clock. SheetRank is where you practice it.

Try it here: work out NOI, then the cap rate. Type the formula, not the number.

Work out NOI and the cap rate
Rent after vacancy, less operating expenses, is NOI. NOI over the price is the cap rate.
| A | B | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gross potential rent | |
| 2 | Vacancy | |
| 3 | Operating expenses | |
| 4 | Purchase price | |
| 5 | Net operating income | |
| 6 | Cap rate |
Tap cells to put them in the formula. On a laptop you can type the numbers and operators.

PassedResolves through a formula that references its precedents, and lands inside the currency band.

PartialOutside the multiple band by 0.06x. Scored on its own, so the correct build above it still counts.
$3,450,000
RejectedExactly the right number, typed in by hand. No formula, no credit. This is the rule that makes the rest mean anything.
Every line comes with the reason behind it.
An instructor explains the concept in plain words, then you build that exact line and it’s graded. All 18 Academy courses are free.

What’s left after real operating costs, before any debt payment. Take gross rent, haircut it for vacancy, then subtract whatever actually leaves the building.

Before you start.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. Project Sunbelt opens with no account and no card, and a free account adds every Academy course and your profile scorecard, for as long as you want it.
How is this different from a video course?
A course shows you a finished model. Here you build one and it gets checked: a target cell has to resolve through a formula referencing its precedents, so a typed constant that happens to match the answer is rejected, and each submission is re-run against scenarios you never saw while building.
I already know the mechanics. Is it still useful?
The hidden-scenario pass is the part that tends to bite. A model tuned to one set of inputs fails when the engine changes them, which is the same thing that happens when an interviewer revises an assumption out loud and asks you to recalculate.
Is there a student discount?
Yes. Verify a .edu email and 50% comes off Pro automatically at checkout.
