This is definitely a non-traditional job. Your exit options will be dependent upon a few things: 1) how well the firm is known (and what it is known for); 2) your professional title; 3) the tangible skills you actually develop; 4) the contacts you make.

There's just not any "traditional" exit options for a cyclical, atypical career path like rehab loans for distressed properties. If your firm is, say, MetLife Real Estate, you're a "real estate investment analyst", you develop strong Excel and other software skills and you meet a few senior people in the business who like you then the sky is the limit with regard to exit options.

 

I work in this industry. However I'm just a freshman in college. Got licensed as a realtor and I broker HMLs for investors and sell properties that were once "distressed." The money is really good for someone my age (the commissions) and I'm expanding my network greatly. I look forward to a career in RE. Probably commercial/industrial. What area are you in? In Orange County I know of the investment firm, Chase Merritt, that specialized in purchasing REOs and foreclosures that are rehabbed and flipped. Not sure if they're still doing that however.

I had a flair for languages. But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds fucking sterling.

it's called a bank

Banks typically do not want to provide financing for non-owner occupied property acquisition and rehab scenarios needing high leverage. One common option is to turn to asset-based lending. However private capital is much more expensive for the borrower and the terms can be very stringent.

actually, a bank (a recourse lender) is in many cases the only one who would finance that. your profile says you're 18 years old, is that right?

Well I guess you learn something everyday. I'll try to look into that. Yes that's correct. Why do you ask?
