Hi all,

I’m interested in Real Estate Development and was hoping for some guidance on how to get into this field and be successful. I’m 26, and so far I’ve worked as a leasing consultant for a property management company and I’m currently working as a project admin for a construction company. Are there any school programs, mentorships, jobs, etc. that you’d recommend?

Thanks!!

I would suggest learning/expanding on your financial modeling knowledge/skills which would look great on a resume. There are some great courses available at A.CRE or WSO. They’re a few hundred dollars but a great investment.

The owner chases dollars and cares less about employees.

Anyone’s company still going through the hiring process up to Christmas? Was in the running for a role at a consultancy and had an interview scheduled for weeks.

I have other interviews lined up but this one was a favourite.

Never had this happened before, so just curious to know if this is normal?

Will I ever get over my poverty mindset?

I grew up very poor. I get extreme anxiety and shame when I spend money above $20. Deep down I feel like I should scrounge and save every penny. I use bath towels that are 10 years old and threadbare cause I can't bring myself to buy a "luxury item" despite making oodles of money and have a ton saved and invested.

Anyone else get over this?
