@Michael Mancuso Hey Michael, kudos to you for pulling a 4.0 so far. That shows that you're hardworking and motivated, keep up the great work man.

I was in a pretty similar spot to you about 6 years ago when I graduated from college. Very motivated, but I hadn't actually gotten into BP until a few months after I graduated. I deferred the corporate route after 6 years as an Air Force Officer and am now a full-time real estate investor and Realtor in Destin, FL and Los Angeles, CA.

All of your options sound solid, but just curious if you are excited to go the more corporate route or if you have more of an entrepreneur/business mindset and want to build something?


 Hey Marshall, thanks for your reply and thank you for your service!  I would say I am very entrepreneurially minded and plan on one day working full time as an independent real estate investor.  However,  I am excited to go the corporate route post grad so I can get some solid hands on experience in the real estate industry while earning income that will over time be able to finance my personal investments.  

Hi All,

I am a senior at the University of Alabama studying Finance, Economics, and Real Estate. I am a 4.0 student and have had several CRE related internships and academic experiences-- I've also been an active BiggerPockets listener and reader for a year or so now. I am looking to find a full-time role in RE acquisitions or investments upon my graduation in May.

Given the current state of the economy/real estate market, I have not had much luck with my search despite applying for a ton of different roles.  I've applied to all of the top REPE/REIB/REITs (Blackstone, Greystar, Prologis, JLL, CBRE, etc.) and just have not had much luck.  If anyone has any ideas of places to apply to, or has anyone in mind that would be worth connecting with, please let me know.  I would be happy to email my resume!

If anyone has any other thoughts or advice, I am all ears.

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

I just finished up my Junior year at the University of Alabama and I am trying to figure out what the best post grad path would be to learn the most about investing in Real Estate.

I am an Econ/Finance major with a Real Estate minor and have great grades and solid work experiences.  These experiences include interning for a phenomenal student housing developer in Birmingham and currently interning for a really solid bank in their Real Estate group in Dallas.  I am hoping with this body of work I should have my options open.

I definitely want to start investing pretty quickly after I graduate and want to find the best opportunity with the most learning opportunities to prepare me for doing so.


Any suggestions?



 What part of RE are you passionate about? Do you have partners that you could partner with to buy some properties? If not get a W2 job and buy a few properties. Then follow what you really want to do in RE. 


I wouldn’t say I am passionate about a particular sector yet, but I am definitely am really interested in multi-family and would like to purchase a rental property as quickly as possible.  I definitely have some friends I would partner with eventually, but we will likely all need W2 jobs before doing so in order to build up enough capital.  I think what I am curious about is: what would the best W2 job be to gain knowledge for a future investing career?
