Ideal job and location for soon to be real estate investor?

[Zackery Martinez]

Hello Everyone! I'm looking for some advise. Currently I live in California, likely moving shortly. I tried to be an appraiser, but you need another appraiser to mentor you for 1,500 hours to get your own license that is worth anything in California and the only one I've been able to find is not helpful. With that being said, I am probably going to be uprooting myself to a less expensive state shortly. My goal is standard buy-and-hold small multifamily properties and purchase using FHA loans. This will be expedited with my fiance doing the same thing alongside me. Considering this strategy, does anybody have ideas on best occupations and locations on where to do this? Obviously I am willing to relocate and I can pretty much take on whatever job I have to. However, I do have a preference to Real Estate related jobs. My only no go jobs would be things like RE Agent/Realtor, because of the social/charisma requirements. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In this virtual world location isn’t as important as quality of life and happiness are. Meaning, pick an area the two of you have wanted to go or can see yourselves growing in. 

As far as jobs, noted on the realtor and why, but what other aspects do you like and why? Are you a numbers person, detail oriented? Things like this posted to the group will help get you better feedback.
