I'm a CPA with 5 years of experience in audit at a big 4 public accounting firm and 1 year of experience as a finance manager in FP&A at F500. I want to break into REPE so am I better off getting the CFA or taking real estate financial modeling courses (WSO, BIWs, etc.)/networking? At this point in my career I think hiring managers prefer to see experience and skills over credentials so I'm leaning toward REFM/networking but would like some input.

I'm not saying REFM will help, but I can say with pretty good confidence CFA won't... I'm a charterholder, and let me tell you, no one really cares outside of public equity investing and wealth management. Frankly, the CFA exams don't really touch on real estate or private equity.
What the fuck is REFM? I swear there's a new test with some bullshit acronym out each year
I'm referring to real estate financial modeling courses that you can buy. I've audited DCFs, equity waterfalls and the like but never prepared them from scratch, which I would need to do in REPE.
