Hey BP family, Can somebody recommend a good course or program for commercial investing?

@Jay Ben

I would recommend going to work for a commercial developer or getting an advanced degree in real estate finance. The $25k you spend for the degree will be more valuable than paying any so called guru the same amount

Chris, I love your posts and generally align with your opinions, but I'll disagree on this!
For most working professionals, they can't take a job with someone else for a lower salary, just to start over in a new industry that they may or may not love. MSRED is also too niche and costly/long period for a specific skillset that still doesn't give confidence to "pull the trigger."

That said, I think the best way to learn (YouTube, podcasts, forums) is to find a partner or mentor to do the first deal. It can be a GP or JV, but that way you can see the entire process full cycle from the inside on a live deal. You should make some money, but thats not the primary motive.

My thoughts.
