Job Shadow in Columbus, OH

[Elizabeth Butt]

Hello Columbus Ohio Real Estate Investors!!

My name is Elizabeth and I am a third year student at The Ohio State University studying Marketing and Real Estate. I am an avid Bigger Pockets listener trying to gain all of the knowledge I can before I start investing myself.

I am currently looking for someone I could job shadow and opportunities for an internship for the summer of 2019. I would love to see what the day to day life of an investor looks like. I am also trying to learn how to analyze deals and would love to be able to see how other people’s method in my market.

I am a beginner, however I feel as if I have a good amount of knowledge on real estate investing and I am eager to grow. My family owns a few rental properties and I have been helping my father renovate a cottage we bought on Indian Lake. I am very motivated and eager to get started.

Looking forward to hearing from my Cbus people!!

@Elizabeth Butt  I think you'll get a better response to this if you're willing to offer something in return.  Most seasoned investors don't have a lot of free time set aside for this.  I've always been willing to spend time with people starting out, but I expect a give and take relationship.  If you want a few hours from me, you need to save me a few hours.

There are lots of ways to do this.  Drive properties and take photos, help analyze deals, pull comps, or even roll up your sleeves and help out on a rehab.  I had a guy last spring who wanted to pick my brain for a few days.  One of those days I had a load of topsoil delivered to one my rehabs to correct grading around the house.  He grabbed a shovel and a wheelbarrow and moved the entire load.  He's doing very well now in his particular niche of real estate and we still keep in touch on a regular basic.
