As the use of advanced AI technologies like ChatGPT-4 continues to grow, concerns about their potential misuse in academic settings have become increasingly relevant. To preserve the integrity of online exams, educators must implement effective measures to prevent cheating.

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns or finances income-producing real estate. Most REITs are traded like stocks, making them much more liquid than traditional real estate investments. Equity REITs are the most common, owning and managing properties that generate revenue through rents. Mortgage REITs invest in mortgages or mortgage-backed securities related to residential and/or commercial real estate.

A real estate investment model is used to analyze the cash flows and returns to stakeholders from a real estate asset or collection of real estate assets. Unlike corporations, which use three statement modeling (income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement), a real estate model is primarily a cash flow statement with several ancillary pages on the revenues, costs, financing, metrics, and returns. Several assets can be grouped into one model; however, in most cases the analysis is done on a property-by-property basis.
