would love some insight from people on both sides of the fence. i am looking to make a career transition from the banking/trading world into real estate development. i think that it might be "easier" to attain a project/construction management gig and, in fact, had a role lined up at one of the bigger firms and passed on it. hoping some of you will be willing to provide some additional insight from both industries. what makes for a strong candidate in each specialty and what the opportunities are further down the line. a little more about me: 28 years old. b.s. business degree from small, private college. living in tri-state region. have always been quite interested in real estate, construction and architecture and trying to map out what i'd like to make of myself for the next 30+ years.right now i am doing my best to learn basic real estate Excel modeling and Argus (as much as possible via YouTube tutorials).  

All that crap (or 99% of it) is available via sites like redfin, zillow, etc. 

Also, the California insurance commissioner is auditing the crap out of title and escrow companies that allow a double close.

And especially since the Covid/Inflation/Recession crap we've been living through the past few years, I find myself naturally wanting to reward good behavior from those in the service industry.

This could give you a fund to use in emergencies at a low interest rate in case all crap hits the fan with your new deal.

In my opinion lists are crap. 100%BUT how then do you make money immediately instead of waiting months before your website ranks #1?
