Who wants to bring me to ICSC with them? Or any other conference? I’ll take notes for you, carry your coffee, organize your calendar, etc.

Crazy day! Attended the real estate conference at my university. Met tons of alumni. Got tons of emails and business cards.
Our keynote speaker was the CEO of a HUGE development company. Everyone would know his name.
How do I stand out? Would a handwritten note suffice?

Internship update:
Having a great time. Got coffee with a senior team member today. Got placed on a few deal teams and am getting caught up to speed on them.
The models I looked at today are incredibly complex. Honestly, quite daunting. But, nothing worth having comes easy 🤩

Should I prioritize climate? Schools that have real estate courses? Proximity to where friends will be?

Spoke with an absolute killer yesterday. 22 years old. Started flipping homes in high school. Now owns 10 units and has 2 interns. Said to me “maybe one day I’ll work for you”. I said, “yea right. If I’m lucky, you will let me partner with YOU.”

My situation:
Internship at company A: $XXk base salary
Internship at company B: 31% higher base salary than company A.
I chose to intern at company A.
Why? 31% means nothing today. It’s not life changing money right now. The opportunity at company A is greater. I will learn

My school has Bloomberg terminals. Spent a few hours today playing around with the LLKU (CMBS Loan Search) function. Really cool to see what assets in my area are delinquent.
If you were in my shoes, how would you use Bloomberg access???

Retweet. This works.
Pro tip for ICSC is skip the ride share & split a cab with someone you meet in line.
I shared a cab with a massive shopping center owner & the head of real estate for a major retailer.
You've got a captive audience for 15 minutes & a chance to start a relationship.

My take:
High school students are perfectly capable.
It’s simply a question of the workload the student wants to take on. Another factor is the instructor.
A grade in an AP course isn’t the same as one’s score on the actual AP exam. One can get an A in the course but get a

Started working on a case competition with 2 buddies of mine. Basically, we are tasked with deciding if a particular loan is good or bad.
The LTV is 93%. What in the world!?!?! Have you ever seen something this high??

I suspect

Real estate is a came of legal insider information.
Someone, whom I cannot remember, told me this about a year ago.
Stock Market Investing:
Nearly impossible to gain an edge.
Real Estate Investing:
Pretty easy to gain an edge.
Yet, people keep spinning that wheel and watching that ticker.

True success. I often think about what success means, and what I want. I think about what I want for myself when I’m 30.
Do I want a lot of money? Do I want to have a *perfect relationship with my children? Both? Is that possible?
Thank you for your service 🇮🇱

What’s the best way to learn?
Mentor that isn’t an investor?
Mentor that’s a partner?
By doing at someone else’s shop?
By doing (via trial) on one’s own?
