I’m currently in public accounting but want to pursue a Masters of Real Estate at Georgetown University. I believe the program is highly regarding and will provide me an opportunity to enhance my knowledge of the R/E Industry (my primary client base) and make connections. This would benefit me in the future if I stay till Partner or if I decide to leave.

Has anyone attempted to earn a masters degree while working full time in public accounting? If so, what advice do you have?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
