Without a doubt, I've got one of the most fun and exciting jobs in the world, and I absolutely love it!Īll that said, there is one aspect of my job that I don't always love… and that's feeling like a total noob every time I'm out on the job site. Fast-forward 10 years and two masters degrees later and I can finally enjoy the thrill of BEING a real estate developer. (I'm sure you all remember!) So, I started studying for the GMAT and teaching myself how to build proformas.

It was 2010, and the construction path did not seem like a great option at the time. The alternative was to take the "finance path" and learn how to make deals work on paper.

First, he said I could get into construction, get really good at it, and then graduate to becoming a developer. When I first latched onto the idea of becoming a real estate developer, one of my mentors told me that there were two paths I could take that would ultimately get me where I wanted to be.
