Hello, I'm just getting started in real Estate. I been reading a lot of books and articles. I have a question about education, since owning a real estate is a business what education should I get ? Would a MBA with a concentration in Finance be helpful ? Or what would you recommend I realize that knowledge is power. Thank you Marek J

What area in real estate? Just owning a property? MBA is more managing a business. There are Commercial Real Estate programs. Property Management. Accounting/Finance. 

Depending on the school and its costs, I'd save the tuition cost and use that money towards buying a property. You'll learn more doing than reading.
