Thread: Is a Masters Degree in Real Estate worth the investment?

Thanks for sharing. I think it is not the Degree that matters, but it

I think it is the experience, good PR/communication skills and a wise mind that will make you a successful investor later on. Education may contribute but nowadays, information all over the net are available. But it is all up to you.

Why not to have good qualification, but your experience is more important. I advice you start doing some part time job in this field. It will do you a lot of good.

In my opinion that level of education is overkill for real estate investing. I studied finance and business and real estate came fairly easily. I would read books, save and start looking for great opportunities. Maybe partner up with an experienced investor.

I think experience is more important than a master degree because with your experiences, you have an application of how to deal with your clients in the real world of real estate business. Though having a master degree is a plus factor when you have a good working experience.

Yes, You can have the degree it will be an optional thing which certainly enhance your value but the main things are your confidence, your aim, your struggle in the market, your extensive research and proper planning and your contacts do matter to get you stick and flourish in the market.

As everyone else has already mentioned, you really don't need a masters degree (or even a bachelors for that matter) to be a huge success in real estate. What's more important is your experience and continued wise choices. If you're itching to get a Masters in something, choose some other area where an MBA is a REQUIREMENT. This means you also have the option of going down that route if real estate doesn't work out. A lot of the purpose of masters degrees are for resume building and networking. Resumes are hardly the most important thing for you to strive towards in the RE world. The networking could come in handy, but even that can be accomplished by other means.

There are lots of real estate agents that doesn't have masters degree in real estate. What matters is your ability to sell and communication skills. The quantity of your contacts is also a valuable asset that you should contain. The more the contacts the more prospect.

I would almost think that you can't really teach people how to make money in real-estate investing. The people who do make a lot of money doing this are ahead of the curve. They are the ones who jump into things before anyone else has figured it out. By the time it becomes a "teachable" method, the market would already be saturated with other people trying to do the exact same thing, thereby reducing its effectiveness.
If you really desire a Masters, maybe get one in a field that is more rigid than real estate. You can earn a living in real estate with a grade three education. Even dummies like me do alright.
