Has anyone done the top shelf academy real estate finance certification?

[{"id": "hzmimvx", "text": "Since you're starting this seems like a decent thing to have, but please know as a candidate it's more about your degree, grades, and personality, rather than whether you got a certificate in something.\n\nFor example, when candidates tell me they are Argus Certified, it tells me they've never used Argus, not that they are good at it.  You can't get to the level of Argus needed by getting their certificate.  It's better than nothing, but don't think it's a huge boost to your candidacy, at least not with some hiring managers.\n\nBut if the cost is $50, I don't think it's a bad idea, and I think the value would be to try to build a relationship with the instructor(s).  That said, for $50, I don't think it would be that helpful. I also didn't see any accredidation on their site, so that certificate is probably useless, but learning concepts and getting access to models is valuable.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hzod03l", "text": "I think it\u2019s probably not very good if it\u2019s only $50 candidly. I bet you could learn more for free on adventuresincre.com. If you\u2019re seriously considering a certificate program, creanalyst.com is legit from what I\u2019ve heard but not cheap. As others have said though, networking will get you a lot farther than certificates.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
