The Evolution of Institutional Real Estate Investing with Mary Beth McCormick- Ep #36

Pretty Girls Love Real Estate

On episode 36 of Pretty Girls Love Real Estate, I chat with Mary Beth McCormick, Executive Director of the Center for Real Estate at Ohio State University's Fisher School of Business. Mary Beth has a much lauded career in real estate, spanning over 30 years managing pension funds, REITs, and now as a champion for diversity and inclusion in the education field. During our conversation we discuss:

- how institutional investors first started investing in real estate as an asset class

- responsibilities as a board member of a publicly traded REIT

- diversity and inclusion initiatives at Ohio State University Fisher School of Business' Center for Real Estate

- advice for young people looking to break into commercial real estate
