I'm looking to possibly getting a MSRED. Is it worth it?

[Robyn Coady]

Hello gang, 

I've decided to throw my hat in the real-estate development ring. I have a long view vision of what I'm aiming for and barely any nuts and bolt know-how on how to get there. I've been looking into MRED programs for the knowledge AND connections. I'm a bit tentative b/c I know how real life learning is way better than academic. But, my hope is a structured program will help launch me and accelerate my breaking in. Does anyone have any thoughts?
