Any investors with an MBA? Is it worth it?

[Marco Padilla]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the site and I'm currently trying to learn as much as I can with my ultimate goal of being a real estate investors and growing a portfolio. In the mean time I'm also saving as much as I can, although student loans are killer. I'm a couple years out of college and I've been working in a law firm which specializes in landlord tenant law. 

I'm thinking of maybe going to graduate school to get an MBA. Although I realize a lot of investors don't necessarily need a graduate degree, I'm wondering if anyone here has an MBA and did a RE program. What are your thoughts on it? Was it worth it for you? Part of my logic is to have a good paying job while investing my W2 money into real estate with the hopes of eventually becoming a full time investor. 

Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

If your employer helps you pay for it then why not, I do have an MBA, but If you are going to spend 50-100k out of pocket for an MBA, maybe you can compare that investment to purchasing a 2-4 unit property to house hack and what that will do for you instead.
