I would recommend you try to find an investor, real estate agent, property manager or contractor to intern with or get a part time job with.

One thing I also agree with Grant Cardone on is that you want to be in a market that has some appeal and exposure to the rich, especially the international ultra wealthy. 

That's because anything over 4 units will require you to follow the IBC (International Building Code) and require an Architects seal.

@Nancy Sathre-Vogel Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event.This person is criminal.

Are there really jobs out there as a REI Assistant/Intern?

@Nic Lee i have some international commercial off the market deals, feel free to connect with me so we can discuss this in details.

Are there international complications I/we should address?

I am set to start my full time job starting January and I have been working as a intern for this summer.

If we create our procedure now, then should we be okay to let everyone know of the max 3 occupant rule or do we need go through work history, then credit and criminal background checks first?

I know that I can't use that formula with internal management and staffing (leasing, management, maintenance, etc).
