I am a junior in high school and looking to pursue a career in commercial real estate investments. I am lost as far as what classes and degree majors to focus on in college. Also, after and during college where do I need to start that will lead to commercial investments? Is selling houses the only way to work my way up to commercial?
a; visit your local public library and take home 2-3 books on real estate investing and on
commercial real estate investing.
b; study investment math which includes returns on investment, cap rates, and
study lending rules and practices
c; you need study nothing regarding residential [houses/apts] to do commercial
investing.
tell your mom I am writing to you; it is unethical for me to respond to you without
your mom-dad knowing about it
[get a degree in finance and one in real estate]
