Internships/Part time jobs to set me up for REI success

[Dylan Palmer]

Currently 20 years old heading into my Junior year of college as a Finance Major. Id like to get involved in the world of Real Estate Investing by finding an internship/Part time job or as others call it "the school of hard knocks" to gain a plethora of knowledge on the different parts of REI. I want to buy my first property before next school year and house hack with some friends, but would like some real life experience before attempting it on my own especially being in such an expensive market.

Im in the San Diego area.

My question is: What type of internship would be beneficial towards real estate investment?

Any replies appreciated!
