If you go to a large university that has a real estate center, get on their case competition team. I did this in college and it vastly enhanced by resume. If you don't have any internships right now and you can take on the workload, get another internship. My BEST advice is to get a firm grasp on understanding HOW a discounted cash flow works and HOW its calculated. I had a mentor (she was very old lol) who held a historic record for most expensive office building sold in the city I was located in at the time. She told me she got to where she is because she knew the numbers better than anyone. She told me to calculate DCFs *by hand* and while it may seem outdated, I learned so much starting out this way. I now pass this info on to you.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
