Going into second interview need help please.
I worked for my parents company they own 100 units half in the Bronx and half in Manhattan. I've interviewed at a real estate mgmt company that owns 400 condos/co-ops and rents them (will still be helping my parents, I just want to feel successful without riding their coattails). The first interview went well but they've called me for a second. I feel out of ammo! What questions should I ask them? How do I prepare for this, and how to I help the people who help me on this website? I know I'm one of either two or three people who have been called in.

First thing is relax and don't place any pressure on yourself. I don't know your age but whatever the outcome, you will know more at the end of the interview than when you started the process and life will go on. You will either get the job and grow in your career or not and grow in your career.
Nothing will be wasted.
Do your research on the company. Ask them how they find their properties and how they screen their tenants.
Ask what their expectation is of this position. Is there a formal written job description? Why is the position open?
If this is your first real interview outside the family business, enjoy the experience. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings and don't rush. Breath slowly and speak confidently.
If they ask a question you don't know, tell them you don't know the answer but are willing to learn how they approach the subject.
This is a process. Absorb it. Embrace it. There will always be more down the road.
Either way you will be okay.
Good luck.
