Starting the REI Journey through Property Management

[Anibal Mijangos]

I spoke to an RE investor a couple of days ago and he told me if he were in my position of just starting out, he would get a job in property management. It'd give him a salary and teach him the info and give him experience with properties to eventually get his first deal. 

Has anyone here gone down this route? 

I really want to pursue RE investing and want to be more active in the space. That's why I've shifted my copywriting services to agents so I can build more relationships and be around people that talk the talk and walk the walk. Seems like property management could be a great move for me!

Quote from @Anibal Mijangos:

I started off managing rentals for others. Then I realized I wanted to own my own and started buying. In six years I bought 33 units and 135 storage units. Because I already had the skills to manage them, it was easy to step into. Most people buy property and then never learn to manage them well, which is why investing can be so difficult for so many.
