When you work at a large corporation (national or global) you learn a lot in your role, but also by osmosis, just by observing other people and seeing how projects are developed, business is done etc.

There are also a lot of foreign investors looking to park cash since US real estate is considered very safe on a global scale.

in my country real estate is not something that is so common,so was asking about the about the degree with the view that it would perhaps get me in track for real estate business.

Get a degree in Finance or Engineering and you'll graduate with a world of possibilities. 

I don't think a degree will help, I'd sign up for courses and learn as much as you can.

We make sure to do the work to a high degree.

It would be nice if you had a contact who was an actual mason not a marketer.  1930's construction is rare so maybe they cut some corners it was a global depression.  

Plus global warming has really helped with the winters. 

I was out of college (just earned my degree in Culinary Arts) and was constantly running out of money.

We still find buyers (and renters) that like open to a degree but want / need the office space for remote or hybrid work arrangements.When dealing with a market that does not have huge spreads on properties, one needs to define what is really important versus what is nice to have and see if the math works.
