My personal Cornell Real Estate Certificate experience so far
Going back to get my Master’s in Real Estate Development in the fall and decided to take the course for a 2020 write off. About 3 weeks in and it has been good so far, wish I would’ve taken it before I became a broker, it has been fairly elementary so far, but I like case studies and that seems to be the theme of the course so that’s good. I can write an update after the course if anyone gives a shit. I’ve seen some people post about it before.

No. \nDid it help me get the interview?

I understand COVID has changed things, but are these all online classes?\n3. Besides the class, how much work is there per week?\n4. At the end of the class, is there a final? Paper?\n5. Are these classes live? Live lectures?\n6. Are these classes typically taught at night? It is hard for me during the day with my career and 2 kids and home.\n\n-\n\nI am very interested in doing some of these classes, I just want", "replies": [{"id": "gixtyin", "text": "1.
