Entry level real estate job
Good afternoon Bigger Pockets members,
I am interested in finding a job that will help me learn the real estate industry as well as help me save up so I could start real estate investing and build a career. Just to give a little background about me, I have a finance degree but have been working as a manager in the fitness industry. I have been in this industry for a while and I am ready to move on. I am looking to find a full time, or even part time, job in the real estate industry so that I can learn more about how the industry runs. I have been sending a lot of resumes out, mostly to property manager and assistant property manager jobs. I figure that a property manager position will give me the experience I am looking for so that when I start buying my own properties I am more knowledgeable and prepared. The problem I am running into is that most of these positions require 2-5 years of real estate experience. My management in fitness has taught me excellent customer service and sales skills and I think these would be very useful in the real estate industry.
What other types of positions do you think I should apply to in order to learn and grow in the industry?
Thank you in advanced
Chris
