CRE bound, seeking insights for success.

[Alejandro Arreola]

Greetings,

I am (32) and extremely eager to transition into the corporate realm of Real Estate. With seven years post-graduation, I have accumulated eight years of experience in the restaurant industry and am currently working as a teacher assistant. Simultaneously, I have successfully developed and managed a portfolio of rental properties in the Chicago area over the past eight years, valued at approximately half a million.

I am seeking advice on how to strategically leverage my skills and resources to make a breakthrough into Commercial Real Estate (CRE). Additionally, I'm contemplating enrolling in programs such as Break into CRE, A.CRE accelerator, or REFM certificates. Any insights on these programs would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to book recommendations and considering further education, possibly pursuing a master's degree through night classes.

I value any thoughts and recommendations you may have. Real Estate is my passion, and I am excited about transitioning into a fulfilling career after the last three years of working solely for a paycheck.

Appreciate your input.
