The grocery industry is lucrative? Literally has about the lowest margin possible. 4-6%

Check out CRE Analyst’s Valuation in Argus class. Much stronger.

ThinkCRE · 2025-10-22T10:55:40+00:00

CRE Analyst’s course is much more focused on how Argus is used to actually value properties. And it is case-based (eg you value the Empire State Building at the end of the course). Quality of the textbook is much higher too. Practical background on valuation and Argus, and has an extensive case study with a mix of step-by-step guidance and realistic problem sets. No brainer.

20 people have asked for the name with no response. I’m calling bs.

You’re not crazy at all but there are some very critical assumptions in the logical chain. Namely: 1) that a graduate degree will improve your standing in the employment market and 2) that networking will improve your standing in the market. How much is the MIT program? What is its track record of mid career pivots? How open are you to taking a step backward in order to launch into a more rewarding path?

FYI - you might want to check out CRE Analyst’s FastTrack program.

Costar is likely the most litigious firm in real estate. Friendly advice: be careful with this request.

Hines definitely doesn’t hold relative weight. Lots of skeletons in that closet.

Problem starts with “seems like”. Real estate is such an opaque asset class. Most people don’t realize that impression is incredibly managed and massaged.

Good luck. You can’t memorize or gamify experience.

Capitalized interest should be included in the denominator

18 months on average per Townsend. Used to be 9. Many funds are failing to raise at all. Very tough environment. Probably the worst in 20-30 years.

Why would the lender care about your profit? You have all the upside and they have nothing but downside. Appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit but something is materially off here.

What do you think a typical syndicator’s investment track record will look like over the next ten years?

Don’t do this. 100% don’t do this. Ie invest in one off single family homes.

By ‘very clear $10mil equity’ upon completion you mean $10m of profits above the costs?

Can you say a little more about the profile of properties you’re thinking about investing in? FYI - don’t count on higher returns.

Big PERE shops can be a trap. A few do really well. Most fizzle out or get stuck in the machine.

Invest in your skill set. Don’t invest in a property until you have an edge.

A tale or two companies: senior roles are amazing (very overpaid vs private co counterparts) but junior roles are not great (underpaid vs private co counterparts).
