MSRE or Wait 1 Year for MBA?

Hi All - I will have 3YOE next year. Do you think its a good idea for me to do a Masters in RE matriculating in F2026 or should I wait a year and proceed to get an MBA starting F2027? My end goal is ofc real estate for what its worth - hopefully development but an acquisitions seat is 100% ideal too!
