Argus training for someone trying to get into the business
Have worked as an engineer for the past 10 years, mainly doing a lot of process engineering, manufacturing line design, lots of data analysis, etc. I got tired of the field about 2 years ago and went and got an RE license on the side, working under a broker and doing some traditional agent type of work on top of the day job. I also set up my own LLC and do my own fix ups and rentals, maybe 1-2 a year.

I’m trying to get a “real job” in the real estate world but not as an agent. Something where my technical and data skills from the engineering world will translate well. I’ve been looking heavily and applying for valuation analyst type of jobs. Someone told me Argus experience would be very beneficial. Anyone else in the industry agree with that? Has anyone ever bought the training off their website? Just looking for the Reddit worlds opinion on how to improve my standing on the job search.
