Background: studied finance at a non-target school in a metropolitan city in Canada. Parents had a few properties which I managed (I guess you could say I was the property manager at the time). I interned at the government for a summer doing billings (a/p & a/r - mostly managed databases and used pivot tables to gather info). Shortly after started off in retail banking as CSR. Thought it was a great opportunity at the time but we can't always stay in the role forever (still there after 2 years). Had some family issues last year so I got a bit set back networking and applying for jobs so I'm back on track now.
Fast forward to today. I'm doing the Canadian equivalent of the Series 7 course to get a bit more exposure to other opportunities but I've purchased the REFM boot camp as well as the Real Estate and Investments textbook by Peter Linneman.
TLDR/Question: Is this sufficient for real estate analyst interviews? Am I on the right track or is there more material that I should look into?
Judging by the username you can tell I'm not the most knowledgeable so thanks in advance!
I've worked through all of the REFM stuff, haven't done the level 3 test yet. It's pretty helpful, I would atleast get through that and the book, and then after that decide if you want to drop the money on BIWS.
Are you doing the certification?
Yes I've completed the first two and am working on the third.
but I've purchased the REFM boot camp as well as the Real Estate and Investments textbook by Peter Linneman.
thats $200 right? Did you happen to find a cheaper one somewhere?
As a Canadian, I'll never find anything cheaper with this dollar dropping just like the price of crude LOL
Do both, they're both cheap compared to what you'll be making. If you have to choose, REFM is more asset level stuff as well as some development/waterfall stuff; whereas BIWS has a REIT component to it along with stabilized asset modeling.
