My thought though is you need less academic knowledge and more practical real estate specific knowledge.

That translates to more than $500 billion over a nine-month academic year—or 2.3% of gross domestic product—if schools nationwide stay closed.

I suspect most of these are going to be academic classes, without a lot of practical real world down in the trenches information that will apply to real estate investing.

Kind of ironic that you are referencing an academic's theory to support the theory that learning theory is *potentially counterproductive.

What subject is/are your academic degree(s) in?

I am a former academic starting a new life as a real estate investor (and writer, and lawyer, and ...)

I want a year round rental- this rental says academic year.Also if there is a deal breaker I know about it I tell them upfront.

Academics are often too fascinated by their Nobel results, which are often too theoretical and the basic hypotheses are too strong to be practical.

After four years at a pretty highly regarded academic institution, I can confidently say that the most valuable asset I'm walking away with are the friendships I've cultivated over the past four years.

But I'd need it to be something I could do for academic credit.
