Most real estate students graduate having studied deals on paper. We believe they should have the opportunity to see how those deals actually come together. 🎓
At AlphaX RE Capital, our commitment to the communities we build in goes beyond real estate development. We believe being part of a community also means investing in its people — sharing what we know, opening doors to the industry, and helping the next generation gain access to real-world experience.
That’s why we were grateful for the opportunity to visit San José State University and spend time with nearly 40 students in Scott Daugherty’s Real Estate Principles class.
Our Chief Investment Officer, Jane lin, brought something we believe students don’t get enough of in the classroom: a real project, real numbers, and an honest look at how development actually works.
Using a home AlphaX developed in 2025, Jane walked students through the entire life cycle of a project — from an empty lot to a completed home. She broke down the teams and vendors involved, shared actual land and sale economics, and showed students how many different career paths exist within a single development.
As a vertically integrated real estate company, AlphaX works across the full development cycle — land acquisition, capital, design, construction through AL Homes, and sales. Opening up that process gave students a chance to see not only how a project comes together, but where their own skills and interests might fit within the industry.
This visit continues a relationship we deeply value with SJSU. Previously, we welcomed students into the AlphaX office for a lunch-and-learn. This time, we had the privilege of meeting them in their classroom.
The real estate industry has given all of us at AlphaX opportunities to learn, build, and grow. Sharing that knowledge with students is one small way we can give back.
Thank you to San José State University, Scott Daugherty, and all the students who welcomed us. We look forward to continuing to create more opportunities for education, mentorship, and meaningful connections between the classroom and the real world.
