Greentree Capital

I recently had the opportunity to intern at Springer Capital, and my experience was immensely positive. The internship offered a deep dive into the real estate industry and provided a comprehensive learning environment that significantly enhanced my professional skills.

Learnings about Real Estate Fundamentals:
Throughout the internship, I gained a solid understanding of real estate fundamentals. The theoretical knowledge was complemented by practical applications, which helped solidify my understanding. From property valuation to understanding market dynamics, the exposure I received was invaluable.

Financial Modeling:
One of the most significant learning experiences was in financial modeling. I was involved in creating detailed financial models that projected the potential performance of various real estate investments. This hands-on experience improved my analytical skills and provided a deeper understanding of the financial aspects of real estate investments.

Creating Investment Materials:
Another area where I gained substantial experience was in creating investment materials. I learned how to compile comprehensive investment proposals and presentations that effectively communicated the value propositions of different projects. This skill will undoubtedly be beneficial in my future career.

Researching Investors:
I also had the opportunity to conduct in-depth research on potential investors. This task involved identifying and profiling investors, understanding their investment criteria, and determining the best ways to approach them. This research was both challenging and rewarding, as it required a keen eye for detail and a strategic mindset.

Real Estate Market Research:
The internship provided extensive exposure to real estate market research. I was responsible for analyzing market trends, studying demographic data, and evaluating economic indicators. This research was crucial in making informed investment decisions and gave me a comprehensive understanding of the real estate market landscape.





Pros:
What did you like?

As an accounting intern, I enjoyed the variety of tasks, especially working on real estate projects where I contacted real estate agents to assist with property-related inquiries. This gave me real-world exposure to client communication and project coordination. I also had the opportunity to create a step-by-step guide to help future interns follow through on similar projects, which helped me develop process documentation skills. Another valuable experience was working on a quarterly earnings guide, which allowed me to dive deeper into financial reporting and analysis. These tasks not only reinforced my understanding of accounting principles but also gave me insight into the real estate and finance industries.

What’s one piece of advice you would share about this experience?

One important lesson I learned was the significance of being proactive and organized. Whether it was reaching out to real estate agents or compiling financial data for the quarterly earnings guide, staying ahead of deadlines and clearly communicating progress was key. I also learned that accounting interns often play a broader role than just working with numbers—we contribute to various business functions. This experience broke the myth that accounting is limited to spreadsheets; it’s also about effective collaboration and project management.

Cons:
What you wish had been different

One thing I wish had been different was having more structured feedback on the project guides I created. While the autonomy was great, more detailed guidance would have made the process smoother and ensured that future interns could follow the guide seamlessly.

I began my remote internship in Accounting and Finance department in Shanghai. My training session was rather brief, than extensive. However, my coach was candid and available at all times. This, in turn, allowed me to maintain a sustainable work-life balance. While I did have few challenges because of the internship being remote, with the coach’s help I was able to get the job done.   

During the first half of the internship, I received a task focused on reducing the tax bill (i.e. pay no more a corporate tax than one has to). One of the ways to achieve this is to claim every allowable deduction and expense to give an accurate picture of profits and anything one claims must be for business use. Generally, interest expense in the income statement is tax-deductible. To ensure, the interest expense is accurate in the books, it was my responsibility to revise interest calculations and improve the Greentree Capital’s profits.  

So far, I internalised the procedure to record and enter journal entries pertaining to interest calculation as well as assign chart of account to every transaction. In the future I will learn how to depreciate fixed assets and upload my output to an accounting software.  

Overall, I am satisfied with my current progress in the Greentree Capital and recommend intern remote as it is a great way to get “hands on” experience about any industry. 

The initiation of the internship was characterized by a gradual pace, owing to the mandatory training phase. However, as proficiency in the field was acquired, the pace of the internship accelerated considerably. The subjects covered, such as the fundamentals of real estate, financial modeling, and the creation of investment materials, were intriguing and provided valuable insights into the operations of the company.

In retrospect, a more structured training period would have been preferable. However, as long as one is not reticent in asking questions and exercising independent thought, this should not pose a significant obstacle.

If I were to offer any advice, it would be to actively seek answers to any queries through inquisition, but ONLY after making an effort to resolve them independently. Additionally, it is imperative to maintain a proactive approach towards work and not hesitate to bring to attention any observations that may enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the company's operations. Furthermore, any issues or queries encountered, after due diligence has been exercised, should be promptly communicated to one's superior, as misunderstandings can prove to be detrimental in any industry.

My current internship at Greentree Company is proving to be a transformative experience. Engaging training calls and mentorship are providing me with a solid foundation in real estate fundamentals and financial modeling. Crafting investment materials and researching investors are enhancing my practical skills, while investor outreach is improving my communication abilities. The collaborative atmosphere among the interns is fostering a positive teamwork environment.

However, I believe there could be more emphasis on real-world application during training, and a clearer structure for ongoing feedback would enhance the learning curve.

One invaluable takeaway is the importance of adaptability. Real-world scenarios often deviate from textbook examples, and being adaptable is crucial for effective problem-solving in any career. This internship is shattering the myth that internships are merely about mundane tasks; at Greentree, I am actively contributing to meaningful projects that significantly contribute to my professional growth.

In many ways the internship began somewhat slowly as there is a training phase, but it definitely picks up as you learn the craft. Learning about real estate fundamentals, financial modeling, creating investment materials (among other tasks) were interesting and taught me a lot about what goes into the operations of a company like Greentree. 

If I had any advice to give, it would be this: ask questions if you need, but not after you've tried to answer them and always stay proactive in your work. Remember that your manager and anyone in the company is trying to improve company operations and success, if you have an observation that potentially could correct any flaws or errors, don't be afraid to bring it up. Likewise, any issues or questions you encounter (assuming you've already done research and tried to answer them) should also be brought up to your superior, misunderstandings can be very dangerous no matter what industry you work in.

What I wish would be different? Perhaps a better structured training period? Although personally, as long as you aren't afraid to ask questions and think for yourself, it shouldn't be as much of an issue.

A typical day at work involved balancing multiple tasks, collaborating with teammates, and adapting quickly to new challenges. I learned how to manage time effectively, sharpen my communication skills, and apply problem-solving strategies in real-world situations. Management was approachable and open to feedback, which made it easier to grow. The workplace culture emphasized teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement.

The hardest part of the job was handling tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy, but this also pushed me to become more efficient. The most enjoyable part was the sense of accomplishment after completing projects and the camaraderie built with colleagues.

A typical day as an Investment Analyst Intern at Greentree involved conducting market research, building financial models, and preparing investment memos. I learned advanced valuation techniques, industry analysis, and how to interpret market trends—skills that are highly transferable to a finance career. Management was approachable and provided constructive feedback, fostering a supportive learning environment. The workplace culture encouraged collaboration and open communication, which made it easy to contribute ideas. The hardest part of the job was tackling complex financial models under tight deadlines, but it was also the most rewarding. The most enjoyable part was working on live investment opportunities, seeing how analysis translates into strategic decisions, and learning directly from experienced professionals.

 Over the course of my internship, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in financial analysis, market research, and investment evaluation, all within the context of the real estate industry. Despite the remote nature of the role, I felt fully integrated into the team thanks to regular check-ins, collaborative projects, and a strong culture of mentorship.

My responsibilities included assisting with underwriting prospective real estate acquisitions, analyzing financial statements, preparing reports for internal use, and contributing to the evaluation of potential investment opportunities. I also gained exposure to tools and sharpened my Excel and presentation skills.

This internship significantly enhanced my understanding of real estate finance and confirmed my interest in pursuing a career in the investment sector. I’m incredibly grateful to the Springer Capital team for their guidance, support, and willingness to share their knowledge.
