The BricksFolios Real Estate Investment Analyst Internship is a selective, cohort-based program for current high school and college students (freshmen and sophomores) who want to learn how real estate investment decisions actually get made - the research, the underwriting, the risk-and-return tradeoffs, and the judgment calls that separate a good deal from a bad one.

This isn't a "shadow a business" internship. Interns work specifically inside real estate investment analysis: reading markets, evaluating deals, building cash-flow logic, and defending a thesis in front of people who will push back on it. The skills are durable on purpose - research rigor, financial reasoning, and clear argumentation don't get automated away, even as more routine tasks do.

Interns work in small teams alongside mentors, build toward a real Capstone analysis, and present their investment thesis live at Demo Day - not a showcase, a defense.

What tends to predict success here

We're not looking for finance backgrounds. We're looking for:

• Genuine curiosity about how investment decisions get made
• Comfort sitting with an open-ended problem instead of needing the answer handed to you
• Willingness to be wrong in front of your team and revise
• Follow-through — this is six sessions plus a Capstone, not a one-off
• Interest in real estate, investing, markets, or business strategy broadly

No prior experience or finance coursework required. We care more about how you think than what you've already done.

What you'll be able to do by the end

• Read a real estate market with some actual rigor
• Build a basic cash-flow and return model for an investment property
• Reason through risk/return and cap-rate tradeoffs
• Write an investment memo that holds up to questions
• Stand behind a thesis in a live Q&A
