I have considered looking for reale-state jobs so I can really immerse myself in the industry, but I don't even know where to begin and I'm not sure if my tech/marketing background can really help me land a job. 

Hi all.I want to further immerse myself in RE by finding a meetup closer to my home.

This is my last year of school and am starting to educate and immerse myself in the real estate industry.

If you have not already, start immersing yourself in all of BP's resources: podcasts, webinars, blogs, forums, and guides.
