Career change

[Gaston Barua]

Hello BP! 

I am in the process of investing in a rental property. However, I have realized that while i continue to work on becoming a full time investor I would like to immerse myself in the Real Estate world to absorb as much knowledge as possible. 

The problem is that I am unsure of what direction to go in. I currently work in Manufacturing/Operations for consumer products for a large corporation. That being said, I dont have experience currently in a real estate related field.  I was considering getting my property management cert. would any one recommend that? Also, if i do get it I hear property managers only make on average about 36k/yr!? Thats less than half of what I am currently making and LA is not a cheap place to live not to mention I would definitely not be able to Invest. 

Any direction would be highly appreciated! I am looking for something stable and salaried if possible as I know that will allow me to get loans a bit easier. 

Thanks a million!
