Master Real Estate in Just 6 Months don't believe me? Well - Here's How!

A little backstory for those of you that know me graduating with a Masters Degree in International Real Estate from Florida International University was undoubtedly a highlight of mine. But truthfully, I’ve gained an equal, if not deeper, understanding from devouring over 400+ business and real estate books. Who says you can't learn outside of a classroom?

As my boy Matt Damon said in Good Will Hunting: "You dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a f***in' education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library

You might be wondering: Why spend exorbitant amounts on tuition when you can gain 90% of the knowledge from reading? That's precisely why I've crafted a 6-month personal Master in Real Estate plan for you. And guess what? It’s totally doable in your spare time with a library card or a few bucks on Amazon.
