Business Student:career to support real estate investing

[Zack Mattin]

I am currently finishing up my final year at a top business school and I have recently become really interested in real estate. I can’t stop reading up on real estate investing, listening to podcasts, and getting lost in these forums. I think that the smartest first step for me is to try and get a job at some real estate company doing finance. I want to try and find a position at a real estate private equity firm, but I’m open to any positions. I think that it would be a great opportunity to learn the business and make valuable connections in real estate. My question is whether or not this seems like a good idea, and I’m looking for any advice on how to make that happen. I’ve been emailing people at private equity firms to try and intro myself but I have been having difficulties getting responses and finding new firms to reach out to. Thanks! Best, Zack
