Hey, BP,
I am in no immediate hurry for a job after graduation. I already have a summer job with the consulting firm I intern for currently. They deal with mergers and acquisitions for businesses with 20 million+ in revenues. (very cool industry IMO) I also have a safety net coming out of college thanks to my rental I have had for 3 years!
I thought it would be interesting to see where older, wiser investors would want to work starting out in the industry in order to create the most contacts and have the opportunity to continually learn about Real Estate.
Hey Landon, I'm not much older or wiser but I'll chime in :)
I think the ideal business would be a start-up company, probably web based. I say that because 1.) those people learn to work hard and 2.) Those people learn to build systems and businesses, not jobs.
Brandon, thanks for the input.
Couldn't agree with you more on learning how to build systems and not a job! One of the partners in the firm I work for currently is a serial entrepreneur (currently starting another company), so he has been and will hopefully continue to be a great mentor. He also just happens to be best friends with a local successful real estate investor who has built the second largest development firm in Lexington. There may be open doors there in the future as well. The thought of a 9-5 in a cubical gives me that much more motivation to succeed in real estate and my personal life in general.
