You may want to reach out to some of the professors and ask them for recommendations.Another good place to start is interning at some of the larger commercial real estate brokerages here in town.  

When I took real estate accounting, the professor used Russian nesting dolls to show how it's inter-rated, where one property now turns into three, nested, the original with two boots.

For my area, this includes young school teachers, non-tenured professors at local colleges/universities, police officers, office staff at professional services (e.g. lawyer, doctors, dentists, CPAs), and younger, inexperienced professionals as well.

It's imperfect because people are involved.Contracts can not possibly cover every possible dispute that may come up, my law school professor said that in the first day of class.

Then I started to investigate (as a Catholic School teacher and part time adjunct professor at Miramar college and my wife a special Ed assistant only making at the time $80,000 combined family income, before taxes) the financial freedom plan of chunking in all my expenses with rental property income.  

My best mentors haven't been in RE button more of a professional manner, one is a friends Dad who hired me out of school and the other was a professor I worked for while in school

Almost zero from tourism but considerable opportunity working with visiting professors, alumni, parents, and tech contractors.

@Grant Rothenburger We have 2 units that we rent fully furnished short term but we primarily rent to visiting scholars / professors via Sabbatical Homes and the local colleges.

Have a single male who is moving into town for a new job as an professor at a local community college but won't be receiving his first check till the following month.

Last night after class I was speaking to my finance professor about real estate.
