“In addition to professional development, the program helped me improve my skills in real estate investing. This is something I do outside of my day-to-day job, with my brother, where we purchase foreclosed homes, fix them up and then rent them out. Prior to the MBA, we basically just used hunches on what properties would be useful. But after going through the real estate courses, I was able to use a more data-driven approach for our property acquisition. Using some of the skills gained from the statistics course, our little LLC now has a spreadsheet that performs a regression on current market rental rates, compared to tax assessments, to provide us with an estimate of rent rates we can achieve if we purchase the property.”
