Currently, I am also finishing a finance degree from Georgetown. 

I dropped engineering my first semester and am setting my eyes on a finance degree.

But I do see an inevitable correction to some degree.

I am pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, and would like to use that knowledge in the fields of Real Estate.

In most places you need to make sure that the furnace will keep the indoor temp at a least 68 degrees but making sure it is "balanced" would be outside the scope of what is required by law here in Ohio.

You just need to run more numbers until you're comfortable knowing (or estimating with a high degree of confidence) what the FMV is.

80 degrees is not A/C weather.

Those may not require commercial zoning to the same degree and if those laws look favorable, just buy non-commercial property and fill them with portable storage units and call it self storage.  

My 10 year old daughter took that pick while we were feeding our livestock on a -40 degree fahrenheit morning in North Dakota.

The other track to think about is if you're not truly passionate about what you're going to school for and Real Estate is "it" for you, then either go into some kind of business or finance program (or even a Real Estate degree, some schools have them).
