Civil Engineering Major with a strong interest in RE

[Jamila Thompson]

Hello, my name is Jamila and I am a senior civil engineering major in NYC (graduating this Spring). My major prepares me for a career in construction management and engineering, so I think real estate is a great way for me to grow and utilize my knowledge. I have been listening to real estate investment related podcasts and reading books. I plan on getting my real estate license. Does anyone have any suggestions on specific resources, such as affordable courses, conferences, events that I can attend to expand my knowledge? 

Also, I launched my own e-commerce business last year and made over $20,000 in sales. This year, I have been using all the strategies I learned last year and I am earning money at a faster rate. I hope to start investing this year. Any advice on how to find partners and the best places to invest in NYC and its surrounding areas? 

Thank you.
