Apart from my normal job as a consultant, I own & manage two townhouse rental properties in the DC metro area under an LLC that have performed quite well since I acquired them. I am curious to know if highlighting this experience on my resume would help or hurt me in landing an interview with McKinsey or Bain. I come from an engineering/technical background and want to strengthen my business/entrepreneurship/investment experience on my resume. For context, I have about 2 YOE in consulting.

Honestly, I don’t think anyone will care. It doesn’t really tell me anything about your ability to do the job. You’re much better off using that space to give more detail about something awesome you did at D.

Leave it off. I don’t think this adds anything to a cv, might come off as a flex to some people too

Could include a short phrase about it in the interests line at the bottom? If someone is interested they’ll ask about it and naturally a conversation could unfold. Others feel free to shoot this idea down, but if you wanted to include it I think only the interests section would be the best fit
