Summer Internship-- Analyst

About Midwest Equity 

Midwest Equity Investors, LLC is a Cedar Rapids-based commercial real estate private equity firm that acquires and manages a growing portfolio of properties across the Midwest and Southeast. We self-manage our portfolio through our in-house operating platform, giving our team hands-on exposure to real estate investment, asset management, and property operations. We value integrity, teamwork, professionalism, and exceptional service. 

We are a team-oriented, highly collaborative company — and look for coachability, competitiveness, accountability, and a team-first mindset to drive company success here. If you thrive as part of a team and bring energy and effort every day, you'll fit right in. 

The Program 

Our Summer Internship Program is a structured, multi-week experience built to teach you commercial real estate from the inside. You'll start with a hands-on introduction to how our business works, dive into one of our core departments— with a focus on property management and lease administration, the operational engine behind our portfolio. Along the way you'll be paired with a mentor, take part in lunch-and-learns and leadership roundtables, and finish by presenting a capstone project to our leadership team. 

What You'll Do 

Learn how a real estate portfolio runs day to day — from tenant relationships to property operations and asset performance. 

Support our property management and lease administration teams with work orders, vendor coordination, and tenant records. 

Get exposure to how leases, recoveries, and reconciliations drive property performance. 

Gain an understanding of how operations, accounting, leasing, and asset management are essential pieces that fit together. 

Complete a capstone project on a real operational challenge and present your recommendations to leadership. 

What We're Looking For 

Current juniors and seniors (or recent graduates) pursuing a degree in real estate, business, finance, or a related field. 

Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a professional, customer-service mindset. 

Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

Ability to manage multiple priorities and take initiative in a fast-paced environment. 

Comfort with Microsoft Office; a willingness to learn industry software (Yardi) and tools. 

A genuine interest in commercial real estate and a desire to grow with the firm. 

A team-first mindset — candidates who have thrived in collaborative, competitive environments are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Why Intern With Us 

Midwest Equity is a growing commercial real estate investment firm where every team member plays a meaningful role — including our interns. You'll join a collaborative, team-oriented culture, work directly with an experienced operations team and firm leadership, gain broad exposure across the business, and take on real, resume-worthy work. For the right people, our internship is a launch point: strong performers may be considered for future opportunities as we continue to expand.
