There are so many doors that open with a degree, it depends on what you really want to do.If I had not had my degree I would not have been hired as a bank examiner, that opened the door to opening a mortgage company that changed my position in my RE investing, like kicking in the after burners.

I hope to bring value to others in the REI environment with my educational background in Architectural Technology and professional background as a Project Manager.A little bit about my experience: Although outdated, I obtained my BCIN when passing the House/Small Buildings and Designer/Legal Ontario Building Code examinations.

I don't have my license yet, but my courses are complete and am writing the exam in a few weeks.

@Josue Vargas  ... you are letting a little "Poor Dad" creep into your advice: "before going further, please, graduate, find a job, work hard, pass your EIT and PE examinations, get the experience you need to be called an engineer". 

@Dedric Polite These are old homes/buildings, so as far as due diligence goes, the lead and asbestos are something you have to examine. 

Like examining trends for the past 5 years on factors like asset class (A-D), unemployment, job growth, economic diversity, income growth, housing prices, vacancy rates, rent to price ratios, etc? 

They examined every nook and cranny of the house, while the kid didn't seem that interested.  

You Don't Trust Your Agent: This sounds like it could be your agent's fault, but its also worth doing a quick self examination and making sure you're a good client too.

Examine personal business models to avoid being on the wrong side of the wealth changing hands when the music stops.

I punched in the #'s for a building we're under contract on. #'s look better than I envisioned. Did I screw up somewhere?https://www.calculator.net/rental-property-calculator.html?cprice=430000&cuseloan=yes&cd...
