CFA…worth it for REPE in the long run?
Interested in making the switch to REPE but not sure if I have the finance acumen to underwrite deals across the capital structure or at the entity level.
Trying to get caught up to the IB competition and wondering if level 1 or 2 would help do that.

What is your background / current position?
Even putting that aside, I can tell you it's probably not worth the time or money. Level 1 will be pretty broad and actually covers a lot of financial reporting rules for analysts to learn to read 10Ks, 10Qs, etc.. Your time will be better spent on networking and specifically focusing on developing your underwriting ability. The CFA won 't teach you the ins and outs of real estate financial analysis and won't teach you how to model. If you want to do a formal course look into programs like A.CREs modeling boot camp.
No
Yeah man go ahead and get your CPA too while you're at it. Then get your JD, your MBA and and your CAIA .
Do certifications / degrees make you feel small, little guy? Here 4 u
I'm just making a point. They're all degrees / certifications that are tangentially helpful in RE but not helpful relative to the amount of time that they take to achieve
I guess excluding MBA . That's super helpful depending on where you are in your career
