Consider exploring internships, networking opportunities, and informational interviews with professionals in the real estate industry to gain insights into different career paths and determine which degree aligns best with your aspirations.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I’m excited to become a part of this inspiring network of real estate aficionados.

Would love to be able to network and run deals by those with more experience than myself.
