Real Estate Financial Modeling Courses

I am curious as to what are the best RE modeling courses/certifications to get. I am currently in college with basic real estate finance knowledge and a little bit of modeling experience. I am looking for a combination of what certification would teach me the most but also look good to a potential employer. Some options I have seen are REFM levels 1-3, ACRE Accelerator, or taking an ARGUS certification course. What do people recommend?

 

ACRE costs significantly less to renew after the 1st year is finished. You are also free to download any and all models/templates provided on the site.

If you can afford it, there is a TON of content ACRE provides that can help round out your skills. But if you are just looking to break into a job, then Justin Kivel’s courses should be enough.
