I'm about to start my summer internship at a large development firm on the west coast and wanted to see if anyone can speak to what tasks they have had as a development/acquisitions intern? Just hoping to get an idea of what I should be learning before so I'm not dead weight, thank you!

Hey Everyone,
I am currently an undergraduate student who is graduating this December.
A bit left field here given that this is mainly a finance forum, but has anyone interested in CRE, and more specifically development, given serious thought to starting their career in a construction role as opposed to something more traditional like AM or IS?

Hi guys,
Hoping to get some feedback from some vets in the real estate development arena. I am a civil engineer with 2 years experience developing large commercial industrial sites in Texas including the last half year managing projects. Ive done work for some of the big boys (Hines, Trammel Crow, etc) and do a lot of estimating, feasibility, design and permitting.
In this discussion I'd like to receive others perspectives on "Sweat equity partnerships".
@WallStreetOasis.com" has been invaluable to me since I decided 5 years ago to make a career change into commercial real estate (from non finance) so its my turn to give back. I hope my story can help some people. ####Background * Extreme non-target school (undergrad and MBA) * Worked 10 years in non-finance employment (and unemployment as a stay at home parent), did some entrepreneurial ventures * Got a CRE brokerage job in secondary market from a different city.
Let's say you are an investor looking at an opportunity to capitalize either mezzanine debt or preferred equity to fund the development of an apartment building which will cost $100m. 65% construction loan, 15% mezz/pref, 20% common equity.
