A day in the life of a CRE Analyst
Currently I work as an accountant. I own 2 rental properties and really enjoyed the whole investment process. I'm considering getting my master's.

What's life like as a CRE Analyst? My job is pretty laid back, a lot of people here are lifers (kinda sad). I'm concerned that I'll have trouble getting up to speed. Is it competitive and full of Type A people? Or can you just do the work and live a good life? What are the hours like?

I was auditing REITs and other CRE investment firms and decided to get into that myself and got my masters/MBA to do so.\n\nWorking in the CRE world now.  The short answer is that \"it varies.\"  Many types of firms in CRE have analyst positions.  The major investment sales brokerages and RE finance shops have analysts that tend to work a lot (60+ hours a week, I would say).  Same with the larger REPE firms.  Some of the smaller shops may have better hours but it all varies depending on what deals are going on.\n\nIn my experience, to be in this world you do have to be a bit more tenacious and that tends to be more Type A.  There will be times that won't be as hectic but others where you really have to hustle to make deadlines and whatnot.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "crlrxni", "text": "Send me a PM and I am happy to answer your questions about commercial real estate analyst roles.
