REAL
ESTATE INTERNSHIP—2005
THE
INTERVIEW
Exactly
who are we looking to become interns this summer?
Space is
limited and interest is high, so we need to be very clear about
our expectations.
We are
NOT looking for people who want a summer job. The pay is not
that much anyway. Instead we are looking for people who are
seriously open (or already committed) to become full-time real
estate investors as a lifetime vocation.
For the
right people this is truly a “one-of-a-kind opportunity”
to learn about real estate investing from the inside out. But
please evaluate whether you are ready for it this experience
this summer or not. (We will likely do it again next summer.)
If you
believe you are ready to pour your heart and soul into this
hands-on experience, what follows are instructions for applying
for an internship position.
 Become
thoroughly familiar with this website, particularly
Stewardship’s Mission Statement as
well as the Home Vestors’ website as a comparison
model. Feel free to write any response or
comments about it. You will be asked
about it in your interview.
Read
the following PDF written by a well-known real
estate guru and write a response. (If you
are too busy with homework to give this adequate
attention, let Bill know and he will work out
something with you.)

There is
lots of helpful information in this book. But Bill would also
like to introduce you to “Mr. Real Estate Anti-Guru,”
John Reed. In Bill’s opinion, John Reed is too negative
toward some “real estate gurus,” but he also has a
sobering perspective on the business. Take a look at his informative
website at www.johntreed.com/Reedgururating.html.
Write
a “Life Resume” and include the following:
•
Your most important life experiences that have shaped who you
are
• Your
most important work experiences (could have been within your
family)
• Your
most important mentor(s) and how they have helped shape you
in any area of life
•
Why you’d like to be considered for this opportunity
•
What you think you have to offer this summer’s team of
interns
•
Feel free to add any additional information that you think would
help us to understand you
and your
goals for the future.
•
What questions do you have for us?
Meet
with Bill (and a few others) for an interview.
Please bring a copy of your Life Resume
and Real Estate Notes on one of the books you read with
you. If you have time you can email
these items as Microsoft Word attachments to Bill ahead
of time.
Please
contact Bill as soon as you are ready for an interview. All
interviews should be completed by May 31st. Time, however, is
of the essence and the sooner you initiate your interview, the
more likely you will be considered for an intern position.
If you
have any questions, or want to pursue an intern position this
summer, email or call Bill.
Bill’s email address is: bsyrios@hotmail.com
and his phone # is 221-4242.
