Advice for a College Student

[Robert Swiss]

Hey Everyone,

I have a year left of college and want to spend my summer learning as much as I can about real estate. I want to hit the ground running as soon as I graduate, so I'm looking to learn as much as I can before then. I'm thinking about moving to a hot market such as Boise or Austin for the summer and networking with investors in the area. Ideally, I would find part-time work with a contractor or investor. Any advice for finding a mentor/apprenticeship like this? What would be the best way to learn about the indsustry while making enough to feed myself for a summer?
