Two-Day Intensive Structure
The workshop follows a structured approach over two full days, combining scenario analysis, framework development, and collaborative learning to build practical risk assessment skills.
Reserve Your Spot
Day One: Understanding Risk Scenarios
The first day focuses on analyzing specific risk scenarios from Argentina's real estate market, understanding their financial implications, and beginning to identify your personal risk boundaries.
Morning Session: Construction Delays
We begin with timeline risk scenarios. What happens when a project falls six months behind schedule? We work through a detailed case study showing initial projections, the delay announcement, revised timelines, and final outcomes. You analyze the financial impact on an investor's position, calculating opportunity costs and evaluating whether the delay changes the investment thesis. This session establishes the methodology we'll use throughout the workshop.
Midday Session: Cost Overruns
After lunch, we tackle cost inflation scenarios. Construction costs surge 40% in pesos during the project. We examine how this triggers additional capital calls, affects unit pricing, and changes projected returns. You work through the numbers for different investor positions, understanding how reserve capacity and additional investment capability affect your ability to handle cost overruns. This session emphasizes quantifying financial impacts.
Afternoon Session: Developer Insolvency
We analyze what happens when the developing company enters bankruptcy proceedings. This scenario walks through the legal process, investor rights, potential recovery scenarios, and timeline considerations. You learn to evaluate developer financial health indicators you should examine before investing, and understand what protections exist (or don't exist) when a developer fails.
Evening Session: Group Discussion
Day one concludes with collaborative discussion of the scenarios covered. Participants share which risks concern them most and why. Different perspectives emerge as people with varying financial situations and investment goals react differently to the same scenarios. This discussion helps you identify considerations you might have overlooked and understand how others think about risk evaluation.
Day Two: Building Your Framework
The second day shifts from scenario analysis to framework development. You create your personalized risk matrix and learn to apply it to investment opportunities.
Morning Session: Market Cooling
We start day two with exit risk scenarios. Completed units don't sell at projected prices when the market softens. This scenario examines how pricing adjustments affect returns, what happens during extended holding periods, and how liquidity constraints impact your financial situation. You evaluate market timing assumptions and learn to assess whether projected exit pricing is realistic.
Midday Session: Matrix Development
This is the core framework-building session. You create your personal risk matrix, identifying which risk categories matter most to your situation, quantifying potential impacts in terms relevant to your finances, and establishing clear thresholds for acceptable versus unacceptable risk levels. We guide you through this process individually, ensuring your matrix reflects your specific circumstances rather than generic templates.
Afternoon Session: Due Diligence Framework
You develop a systematic approach for evaluating developers and projects before committing capital. What financial information should you request? What questions reveal how they handle problems? What documentation should you review? This session provides practical tools for assessing whether a specific opportunity merits your capital based on your risk matrix.
Closing Session: Application Practice
The workshop concludes with practice applying your framework to hypothetical opportunities. You evaluate several investment scenarios using your personal risk matrix, identifying which opportunities match your risk tolerance and which exceed your thresholds. This practical application reinforces the methodology and ensures you can use your framework independently after the workshop ends.

Schedule
Each day runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with breaks for lunch and coffee. Sessions are intensive and require active participation. Bring a laptop or tablet for building your risk matrix during framework development sessions.
Group Size
Workshops are limited to small groups to ensure everyone receives individual attention during framework development. This size allows for meaningful discussion while maintaining enough diversity of perspective to enrich scenario analysis.
Materials
All workshop materials are provided, including case study documentation, financial analysis templates, and framework-building tools. You leave with your completed personal risk matrix and due diligence checklist in digital format.
