Is the Real Estate Principles textbook free for instructors?

Yes. Instructors get full access free of charge, including all 24 hours of 4K video, 31 chapters, lecture slides, test banks, in-class activities, and the auto-grading tools.

What does the Real Estate Principles textbook cover?

15 modules across 31 chapters: real estate value drivers and economics, real estate law, time value of money, appraisal, mortgage fundamentals and the mortgage markets, residential and commercial transactions, brokerage, REITs, real estate development, and sustainability. The course also covers public policy impact on minority communities.

Who is this textbook designed for?

Undergraduate students taking principles of real estate as either a major requirement or a business school elective. The course is built to work as the first real estate class a student takes.

How is this different from publisher real estate textbooks?

It is video-first (24 hours of 4K production) with recognized real estate faculty on camera, not generic publisher presenters. The textbook is free for instructors and updated continuously, and the question banks (2,000+ items) are built in-house with per-student numeric variation to reduce leakage and AI-assisted cheating.

Can I customize the modules and chapters?

Yes. You can reorder modules, hide chapters you do not want students to see, add your own videos and resources, and combine our content with material from other sources at the chapter level.

Does the textbook integrate with my LMS?

Yes via LTI 1.3. Students sign in with single sign-on and grades pass back to your Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle gradebook automatically.
