Adventures in CRE Course To Land A Job or Other courses?
what do you guys think of this course? Has anyone taken it? Did it help anyone kind of land there Job in anyway? Looking to jump out of accounting to CRE on either the debt and equity side as an analyst possible but the only type of model I can probably build is residential investments like single family or mortgage structure models like CPM, ARM, FRM. Have a major in finance with a solid gpa.

When I was just starting out as an associate I had to jump into the deep end and learn to swim pretty quick. ACRE's courses are solid if a little dry (but hey, it's hard to make Excel exciting). The only thing I didn't like about ACRE was their limit to how long you had access to the course. I got really busy with a bunch of deals and when I went back to dive back in it was expired. It was pretty expensive for not being allowed to finish. Another good option is Corporate Finance Institute (CFI). They have a course specifically addressing CRE finance. I don't know if either will help you get a job, but they'll both make sure you keep it once you get it.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
