Based on that background, I'd say the following would be most applicable: Know the #s:- Accounting courses- financial modeling classes (now I'm doing deal syndication I wish I had taken more financial modeling courses) - specific real estate courses (as @Matt Devincenzo mentioned those CCIM courses have very good reviews) Connect with people: - public speaking (taking a stand up comedy class is like Public Speaking on steroids) - psychology classes and books (why do people do what they do) Be a good manager: - Business management (as you already mentioned) - Experience DOING or being exposed to it with an internship or job shadowing That said, my OVERALL advice is to find people who are doing these things and actually do it with them or closely watch them do it (then do it).
