Understanding and breaking into Apt investing

[Avi Garg]

This post is inspired by the recent (ok a month back) success story posted by @Joe Fairless

Anyways one of the ways Joe mentioned to break into this space is to offer your service to underwrite deals initially. I am an MBA student and would like help the apartment investors/syndicators by helping them underwrite deals (for free unless someone really wants to pay) so that I could learn from experienced people in this space. My plan is to learn while I am in school and when I am done, I can hopefully execute a deal myself. 

Any help/tips/pointers appreciated.
