Hello All, 

I am looking for a Real Analyst Position at a REIT or any real estate investing company. I am having troubling finding many through traditional methods of LinkedIn or Indeed.

A little background on me - I am 24 years old; I reside in upstate New York, and I am looking to relocate somewhere along the east coast; I have a bachelor's degree in finance and about 1.5 years of experience as a financial analyst at a Manufacuring company. Before that I was a real estate agent for a short period, so I have an understanding of the market and researching properties. I also have several certifications in excel and I am working on a few for financial modeling. I feel I am qualified enough to get an entry level analyst position.  

Does anyone have any advice on finding real estate analyst positions outside of LinkedIn or indeed? I've tried looking up real estate investment firms in a given location but many of them do not have a career page or job openings. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks. 

Thank you for all the insights!

House hacking will most likely be my best option starting out, especially in a new city. 

Looking for major hospitals is also a great idea I haven't heard of before, thank you for that tip!

My biggest issue is just choosing a place I want to live with a solid market for real estate. Ohio may have a great market but to be honest I'm not very interested in living there. 

I've been looking around North Carolina, mainly has a place I'd want to live not for the market. Anyone have thoughts on North Carolina for Investing? Specifically, Charlotte, Wilmington, Asheville or Greensboro? 

Hi everyone,

I’m new to real estate investing and looking for guidance on where to start. I currently live in upstate New York but am considering relocating and would love advice on where to move based on strong real estate markets.

I’m particularly interested in:

• -Investing in either short-term rentals (like Airbnbs) or long-term rental properties.
• -Markets with promising ROI potential and steady demand.
• -Locations that offer a good balance between affordability and growth opportunities, especially for someone new to real estate investing.

If you’ve relocated for real estate opportunities or know of hot markets to consider, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
