What are some valuable courses and certifications?

Hi, 

What courses or certificates do you wish you would have taken prior to getting into REI?

My business partner and I are dedicating ourselves fully to REI come spring of next year. He is a real estate agent, but i do not currently hold any sort of RE certificate.

 I am looking for strategies to make myself valuable as a business owner. 

A local college offers courses such as:

 Certificate in Real Estate Principles, Sustainable Real Estate Development, Construction Project Management, Real Estate Finance Certificate, Real Estate Management Certificate, Real Estate Marketing and Sales Certificate, Real Estate Appraisals Certificate, and the Certificate in Facilities Management. 

Most of all, I was thinking of taking a course to get certified as a House Inspector. 

Would any of these courses, or some that i did not mention, work significantly in my favor? 

Thanks for any and all answers!
