Adventuring into the World of CRE - S1E1
10/16/19 • 36 min
Welcome to the Adventures in CRE Audio Series! We begin the series talking with the creators of the Adventures in CRE website, Spencer Burton and Michael Belasco.
We discuss the site’s inception, evolution, and growing and evolving community. We also discuss the audio series and preview how it provides insights and answers to many of the questions Spencer and Michael field regularly from their readers on topics such as real estate financial modeling, careers, education, and the commercial real estate industry in general.
Michael and Spencer tell the story about their initial ambitions with the site, which was primarily meant to fill a lack of online resources related to real estate financial modeling. The goal was to also help the both of them expand their knowledge and skill sets in areas that were of critical importance to their careers and share that work and what they learned with others.
Over the years, the site has grown to cover other topics its readers have asked about. A.CRE focuses on sharing quality content around three main areas our readers care about most:
- Learning and using advanced concepts in real estate financial modeling.
- Gaining the education needed to be successful in commercial real estate.
- Preparing for and advancing a career in commercial real estate.

Choosing Your CRE Career Path - S1E2
Welcome to Episode 2 of the A.CRE Audio Series. In this episode, we chat once again with the creators Adventures in CRE, Spencer Burton and Michael Belasco, on the topics of how to launch your career in commercial real estate as well as how one can pivot from a current role to another within the industry.
During this episode, we discuss how to demonstrate value through deal seasoning and your network and what steps you can take if you do not have either of these yet. One of the first things anyone should do at this juncture if you haven’t done so yet, is take the time to understand where you want to end up at the end of your process, in terms of job function, asset class(es), and geography; so that you are not wasting time preparing for a position that you end up realizing is not for you.
As you begin to discover and then embark on the path towards your professional transition, it can be tough. Reaching out to professionals in the industry to request informational interviews, taking on internships, externships, and even freelance opportunities are some of the best ways to start exploring your options and interests.
Learn more about the specifics of the industry, how to best set yourself up for success, what options exist and how to go about gaining the skills and knowledge needed to be successful during this episode of the A.CRE Audio Series.
