Question: I went from CRE Brokerage straight out of undergrad in '08 (great timing), back to a summer advanced accounting certificate program (originally Finance/Entrepreneurship major) in 2009, to non-Big 4 Public Accounting firm in Silicon Valley June 2010-present.
I just finished my CPA and am looking to go back into CRE but on the analyst side of the equation (preferably acquisitions over asset mgmt) on the West Coast. The real question is, the best route to do this considering an allocation of $1,000 bucks towards:
a) gmat test prep course for top-tier MBA (went to Jesuit non-ranked undergrad) b) ARGUS certification classes c) CFA Level I (probably not) d) Strippers and Bottles while a real estate convention is in Vegas (ULI, ICSC, etc.)
What is the best route? I learned at the tender age of 23 that pounding the pavement and networking is the only way to go if you don't have brand-name recognition in your undergrad school. Suggestions?
Dont get the argus cert. Take the courses on rent rolls and market lease assumptions. Also, brush up on excel. Blow the rest on models and bottles. Just kidding, you might want to apply to an MBA,.
Good luck.
Spend $750 on models and bottles, spend $250 on the GMAT, write amazing essays, get into an M7 b school, and break into whatever field you want.
1) B-School: Good option. Doesn't necessarily have to be top-tier. I can't remember where I heard it, but I once heard a successful RE player say, "Real estate is full of C students."
2) ARGUS: Can't hurt to add to your resume since it if often needed. But it's probably not enough to get you over the hump.
3) CFA - No.
4) ICSC is next week and I hear some of the bigger parties are coming back after a few years of keeping it low key. Go nuts.
