Masters in RE Finance and Development
Good Morning All,
I saw a similar post to this and wanted to ask for some opinions. I am a commercial broker and we specialize in retail leasing and investment sales. My brokerage represents over 80 national brands and dozens of developers who do development for said brands. I learn a whole lot every day just by working, but I have always wanted to complete a Masters and the UW offers a program in Real Estate Finance and Development. I am 26 and would take about 3 years to finish. I would be able to continue working during my schooling. I guess my ultimate questions is, outside of my personal goals to complete a masters, does a Masters in Finance and Development look good enough on a resume AND provide enough knowledge to bring enough value to my clients to increase my brokerage business enough to outbalance the cost of said degree?
