Advice on Finding an Internship

[Account Closed]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Edgar, I’m sixteen years old, I live in NYC and want to learn as much as possible about real estate. I have been listening to podcasts, doing research, and reading as much as I can but there is no substitute for real-life experience.

I’m not yet 18 and can’t go out and buy a property, so I’d like to tag along with someone that can. As of right now, I’m most interested in wholesaling, house hacking, and multi-family investing, but I’d be thrilled to learn from anyone involved in the real estate industry.

I hope to also be able to add value. I have experience with social media, I am good with technology, and have years of experience with photography. I am a fast learner, really organized, and have good people skills. I will do the tedious work nobody wants to do.

I have three summers of work experience in different areas (maintenance, cashier, customer service), so I’m comfortable talking to people, am responsible, and work hard. I’m a straight-A student at Bard Manhattan High School Early College and I have interned for a NYC architecture firm in the past. I am fluent in French and am learning Spanish.

If anyone has advice on finding an unpaid internship or a position that will allow me to shadow someone working in real estate, it’d be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Edgar
