Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and it looks like there's a lot of people that know a lot about real estate, so I figured I'd give this a try...I'm a junior in college, and I'm looking for a summer internship in commercial real estate investing and development.

In residential properties most lenders want to see typically a 6month to 24 month "Chain of Title" on previous owners.

The previous owner may have: He bought seven months previously (03/2005) for 149000 and sold it for 18,000 more.

I must admit, I've been reading these posts for a few months and finally decided to dive and say hi.My name is Mara and I'm currently a college student.

Older buildings do have a certain charm, but at the same time can have considerable maintenance issues if the previous owners did not properly take care of them.

Can a guy with no college education go from nothing to something investing in real estate?

This way I can get out of renting (been a renter for 5 years, ever since college) and start to move toward property ownership, while putting some sweat equity in the picture. thanksmatt

Most require refernces from previous REO work.
