For the accountants out there
As someone who is about to graduate college with a degree in accounting, what path would you suggest taking with the end goal of owning/managing a real estate investment company?
One option is starting at a cpa firm and trying to specialize in the real estate department. The other option is to go wok for an accounting department in an established real estate investment company.
I can see both having advantages and disadvantages, so I would like your opinions on this. For those of you with experience, if you could go back and pick between either of these options which would you go for?

Of those two options, I personally would choose option #2 - pick the RE investment firm. By working with a company that soley focusus on RE investments, you would get to know the ins and outs of not just the accounting side, but all sides of the business.
