On July 14, 2011, Bruce Kirsch who blogs at "Model for Success--the REFM Blog" hosted a guest blogger, Joe Stampone.  While he was a real estate student at NYU in the late 00s, Joe started a blog called "A Student of the Real Estate Game."  His post at Bruce's blog is titled, "What Every College Student Interested in Real Estate Student Needs to Know." In this brief post joe offers great advice for anyone thinking about a career in real estate--whether it be brokerage, investment, management or development--along with links for further investigation.  One of those links leads to Bruce Kirsch's helpful e-book--"REFM's Guide to the Real Estate Business."
