If you're interested in real estate acquisitions, lending, investment sales, or development, you should consider learning the ARGUS software program. ARGUS is the leading financial analysis tool for real estate; if you know it, you will greatly boost your chances of getting a job in the industry or doing your current one more effectively.

2. An old college buddy recently asked me if I could post the following job for his company. Gruen, Gruen, and Associates in Chicago is looking for someone to work in a real estate market analysis/economic consulting role at what sounds to me to be either an Analyst or Associate level position. If you don't know the firm, they're a pretty established player in the real estate consulting industry. The posting is at the end of this e-mail.
3. In addition to teaching Argus, I also teach a non-credit class on Excel modeling at New York University. It's a good crash course in how to use Excel to build cash flow statements. If you're interested in taking my Argus class, but you want a little more practice with Excel before you take the plunge, I strongly suggest taking my Excel class at NYU.
