Young Professional Mentorship Advice

[Carter Marteeny]

I am a Senior at the University of Missouri approaching graduation this upcoming May. I will be returning to the St. Louis area with a Bachelors degree in both Finance & Real Estate.

I have accepted a career with a large commercial real estate firm (Cushman & Wakefield). I have continually heard the importance of mentorship and have known this will be integral to my success both inside and outside of the company. In addition to progressing within a corporation, I also have aspirations of starting my own rental portfolio and eventually would like to move into the multi-family space.

I am reaching out to hear opinions if I should try to focus on finding one mentor who has found success in both of these areas, or if finding a corporate mentor along with a personal investment mentor might prove more beneficial.

I’d love to answer any questions people might have, feel free to reach out.

Thanks in advance!
