Intrigued by multi-family investing: which job can help me learn?

[Fradel Schaechter]

I am fascinated by the concept of multi-family investing. I would love to get a job in this field as I will be leaving my current job in just 4 months. Any suggestions about which job would be good for me to consider?

I am also very interested in interning in this niche. Anyone know someone who could use some help with this?

@Fradel Schaechter  Great question!  The top jobs that I would consider if I was looking to work for a company that serviced multifamily properties would be 

1. Investment sales - A career in investment sales would give you an opportunity to build relationships with buys and owners and really learn the market inside and out.

2. Commercial Loan - Underwriting loans and understanding the debt and equity markets will give you a tremendous base of the financial aspects of investing in MF.

3.  Property Management - Understanding the day to day operations, lease up, marketing etc, will give you a good understanding of how to execute the business plan of a MF investment.
