@John MoorhouseBetter to butcher your presentation in front of a class and get a few comments from teachers/professors than butcher it in front of investors or loan officers and fail to secure money needed for your RE venture. 

An interesting opportunity just came up- I received an email from one of my professors saying there's an appraisal firm near my home looking for an appraisal intern for this summer.

This has gotten all over the net and everyone from math professors to math teachers to engineers to accountants to the average joe still are divided on this issue.

I am well educated ex professor and counselor but totally new to this field and I am willing to share in profits to get started for I need to start making some serious money soon.

I actually interviewed multiple professors at the college I was attending for tenancy in the House!

It's the annoying crap, the petty work, the difficult professor, the not knowing what you don't know until you know, that actually teaches your subconscious to deal with whatever life throws at you - not necessarily the specific subject matter of an assignment that has got you annoyed, looking for an easy escape on a real estate forum.Good luck.

I learned quite a lot about the challenges of dealing with another culture on this trip.There is a story about an engineering professor who included the question "what is the name of our janitor" on the final exam.

I understand that investing in areas you are familiar with is usually the safer route to go however living in Portland Maine has restricted me to high housing costs which limit the amount of properties I could finance because of my financial situation (college student).I have talked to 4 professors at my school who have some real estate background and they suggested a couple markets in Mass that would provide lower housing costs and the same amount of renting possibility.  

You can also market your apartments as Executive Suites to doctors, professors and staff at the hospital.

It will not be published, just summited to my professor.
