Best resources to study commercial real estate and research and master your market to be an expert?
There are many experts in commercial real estate in this sub-Reddit, and I was wondering what resources (magazines, websites, podcasts, etc.) do people use to study commercial real estate and research their market to be experts?  

Thank you in advance!

Biznow &amp; GlobeSt. are also pretty popular in the brokerage community for overall market info.", "replies": [{"id": "gx3juwo", "text": "Thank you! I have a BizNow subscription, and will add the GlobeSt and cities business journals (I am based in the NYC area).", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "gx35usa", "text": "I mean it depends on what you do. I\u2019m in PE, I wake up and usually read Biznow for my city in the morning before I get out of bed because it\u2019s brain dead when I\u2019m waking up, then switch to read Trepp CMBS wire next, then Green Streets morning update, pop over and read Politico for overall DC news, then through the day I\u2019ll read IREI, PREA, and Globe St. on a weekly basis I\u2019ll read real estate alert the Eastdil, Berkadia, and Newmark capital markets weekly. Then like there\u2019s just random stuff that comes out like NCREIF, NIC, NMHC to name a few. I guess this is kind of meandering but there are way too many resources out there, you just need to figure out what the most relevant ones are for what you do (and what has information that you think is interesting). \n\nAll in all though this stuff is a good primer for what\u2019s generally going on so that you\u2019re literate but most of my day to day learning I get from colleagues in acquisitions and asset management as well as catch ups with capital markets people. It\u2019s helpful to have an overall clue as to what\u2019s going on but you won\u2019t really know the story unless you\u2019re on the phone talking to people.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "gx3evbs", "text": "I\u2019m not sure where you\u2019re located, but my local NAIOP chapter is excellent, along with a publication put out by the master builders association.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "gx3gr06", "text": "Walking the properties, talking to business owners", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "gx3jetl", "text": "If you are interested in development, I would consider joining your local ULI (urban land institute) chapter.

They also have young professional groups, and intern opportunities.\n\nMore importantly:\n\nVolunteer for everything with these groups.  EVERYTHING... handing out pamphlets or setting up chairs at events.  Coffee/AV guy at board meetings?  You.  Be the guy/gal that does what nobody wants to do.  You good at IT/social/web?  Let them know.  The sponsors of these events are the people that you want to hire you one day, and they are at board meetings and show up early for events.  Best way to learn is to Be In The Room.\n\nDon't give this time away for free, mind you.  Add value other than just being the role I mention above, and show initiative.  If somebody compliments you, don't be afraid of saying you're doing it for a job, or experience, or an internship or runner's position.  Be aggressive in that you don't want to be a CSS or support...find your voice and use it.\n\nGo get it.  You'll be great.", "replies": [{"id": "gx3zx1m", "text": "I cannot thank you enough for this!!!", "replies": [{"id": "gx40s2a", "text": "No worries, I appreciate the initiative.  Ive worked in brokerage, development, asset management, now back to brokerage...and I've seen so many people bag internships and do nothing with them.  Just invisible young people.  Don't be that person.  Ask to go to showings.  Ask to help print and put together marketing presentations.  Shit, offer to go open doors for senior brokers and turn on lights and open blinds prior to showings.  Work hard, but avoid all the \"grind\" talk out there.  That's BS.  Work smart, add value every day, and take care of yourself.  This industry eats up too many young people.", "replies": [{"id": "gz7byw5", "text": "This is incredible advice for everyone looking to get ahead in ANY field and not just for the young newbs.
