Starting Out Job Tips

[Coban Scott]

Hi guys, my name is Coban Scott, I have 1 and a half years left in University to get my undergraduate degree, but I really have passion for real estate and want to start working in the industry right after I graduate and even this summer before my last year. Can you guys give me some tips on how to begin working with certain companies or which positions I should pursue to really jumpstart my career out of university. I was thinking some property development companies and stuff like that but they would most likely want someone with experience. I am set on real estate investing and owning my own investing business, but I need capital to begin, what do you get recommend as someone who is willing to hustle and work extremely hard to gain experience and work for very little money to learn the game. Which companies or how would you guys go about this situation.

Check out a couple of local meetup groups. Ask people about contacts for real estate agents, lawyers, appraisers, mortgage agents, inspectors, contractors, developers, etc. Go on volume as many of those people won't have the time or desire to meet with you. All it takes is a few who will be willing to have a chat, and some would. 

Then narrow your search to something that resonates (say you want to become an inspector). Figure out how to get into that area. Volunteer to do some work for actual inspectors, etc. It will eventually clck. Or so I hope :)
