I am currently pursuing an BS degree in architecture. However, I was looking into a second field to help me as an architect. I am now considering getting a masters in real estate after my architecture education so I can become a licensed architect and real estate developer. Architects complain all the time how clients never let them design anything and about how much red tape there is. So I am now considering being a developer and architect so that I can design buildings how I want and make a bigger salary. Is this a good idea and beneficial in this industry? Also should I stick with my BS Arch and get a double masters in real estate and architecture that will take about 8-9 years or transfer to a BArch and just get a masters in real estate afterward which should take 7 years. I am just considered on the difficulty level of a BArch, but I want to be in college as short as possible. Thanks for all of your help.
Some pursuits will require a certain amount of teamwork. Although it’s not a bad idea to understand what goes on underneath the other hats, I’m not at all sure one person can do it all and get more money just because of it.
It seems to me that with a BS in Architecture and an MS/MA in real estate development you are in a good position to get a job with a real estate developer. The combination of those degrees should be pretty attractive. The problem with trying to practice architecture with this combination is that you will not have a professional degree.
Another option is to get a job at an architecture firm with your BS, work for a couple of years and then decide whether you want to go on for a real estate degree or an MArch. I think exposure to the profession would be beneficial in helping you make the decision, and if you are with the right firm you might get to meet some local developers.

It is good. Getting masters in real estate after architecture education will become a licensed architect and real estate developer. In my view being developer and architect is nice. Also it is a good future for you. But to get more details about real estate and its idea, you have to consults any specialist. They will suggest you the best. And if you know more about real estate consultancy and real estate,[Kerala real estate](http://www.maxlandkerala.com/) services provide such information.
I dont think you can get licensed in architecture without the professional degree of a BArch or MArch 1— If i were in your position I would go straight for architecture (but im biased cause im a BArchie) and then follow up for real estate- cause architecture sounds more fun too
