Hey Justin. I have a request for a video. Can you make a video regarding commercial real estate valuation? Designations like the MAI, etc. What value have you seen this designation bring to the table for individuals in the industry? Do you think it would be worth it it get the designation and pivot into another career?
@@AngeloBrunetti-dr5sj In my experience, the MAI designation is most valuable within valuation and advisory roles, but doesn't hold all that much weight when trying to move into acquisitions/asset management/portfolio management roles. This is a great suggestion and definitely worth considering making a video on in the future - thank you!
Can you do some videos (even better a course!!) where you work through a real deal, talking what you see in the OM that you like/don’t, the research needed, formulating a business plan, and include how you underwrite it from start to finish? It’d be super helpful and interesting to see you work through a real work example and what your thinking/strategy is for a given deal.
Really like your content. But can you please also do some international Stuff? I think the European counterparts of your list would be: 5.) Barcelona 4.) Milan 3.) Paris 2.) Frankfurt 1.) London What do you think?
Hey Justin. Could you make a video about real estate valuation/appraisal. I am interning at a firm now and it is interesting, but doesn’t seem to offer as many option as brokerage. Thank you!
Growing quickly - Miami makes all the headlines in Florida, but Tampa has also seen a significant amount of growth since the start of 2020. Good luck with the move!
@@BreakIntoCREExactly what I thought. Thanks for the reply and videos. They’re really making a difference in my career and answering a lot of questions. Please keep them going 👍🏽
Orange County is great in my opinion. Definitely dive into what kind of analyst you want to be (development, acquisitions, asset management) and see what firms have positions there. Then just make connections to those people in the company.
@@dannyberts3039 Completely agreed - Orange County is an excellent CRE market with so many opportunities. Often overshadowed by LA, but when comparing this market to other areas across the country, this is one of the most active CRE metros in the U.S.
My biggest piece of advice is to network with local OC/LA CRE professionals as much as possible. LinkedIn can be a great resource for this, and I would start by running an advanced search for alumni of your university working in CRE in these areas - see this video (starting at 3:45) for more details on how you might want to go about this: th-cam.com/video/RTxnytOqIPg/w-d-xo.html
I’ve done 3 development deals in IL and I can say it is the worst state to do business in. I would be worried about Chicago for this reason but I am not local to that market so take what I say with a grain of salt.
