Undergraduate here, graduating in may. Return offer from my internship isn't a sure thing right now so I'm looking everywhere else I can. If there is a posting on SelectLeaders or a company's job board for an analyst position, should I apply right now even though I can't start until June at the earliest, or wait until a couple months before graduation to apply to those positions?

Start networking like crazy, maybe find a small shadow position over the holidays. But keep applying and let people know during the phone screen. Some might be willing to work with you. Only issue if the market halts you are a easier target for your offer to be rescinded.
But there are plenty of networking opportunities I know in the MF asset class.
Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. I'm networking hard right now as well, just wanted to see if I would look stupid for applying to a job that I can't start for 9 months. Multifamily dev is where all my work experience is in so MF is where I'm focusing all of my efforts for right now.
Curious, what type of internship did you do recently?
A lot of people hire "as needed" so if you see listings they're more than likely looking to fill that role within a month or 2. Some companies might be willing to hold off until next summer, but I would say a vast majority would tell you to start looking in like February where they might be able to hold off until May.
