RICS accreditation for property development?

[Federico Gianelli]

Hello guys!

Would you recommend to get a Masters or even MBA in Real Estate accredited by the RICS?

my background: 

studies: Bachelor (Architecture) / Masters (Management) 

working experience: urban planning  / currently: construction management  

My job offers me: get to know the local contractors / some investors / deep know-how of construction / good salary

My goal for the future: fix and flip / buy to rent on a private investor / JV basis / in Europe - maybe US later 

My research on RICS: Should provide me a better (international) network with all RE related professionals. 

As I`m already experienced in managing contractors, I`m more interested in getting in touch with RE investors or other RE financing corporations. Therefore the RICS accreditation.

The degree will cost me about 15-23k $ + 2 years of distance learning in addition to the work.

Does anyone have experience with RICS? Do you think it`s worth the time and money?

Thanks in advance guys!
