What are the best resources to learn about CRE?
I want to soak in as much about commercial real estate and possibly get a license. What would be more worth my time - getting a broker license or pm license? Also what would you say are resources that helped you learn the most about CRE? Currently reading Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur, and think it's a good read but it's geared more towards the deal making aspect of CRE. Thanks!
