Starting a New Job to Gain Real Estate Experience

Hello BP,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for a job that would benefit me in my real estate career. I have good credit and no debt, but I need solid income in order for me to be approved for a loan...and to stay afloat. 

Is there any good real estate jobs that are salary or salary plus commission out there that you would recommend? 

I know being a realtor would be a good start, but I need a solid salary in order to approve a loan so I can start house hacking within the next 2-6 months. 

Something I have thought about is selling new homes for a new home builder. Is this a good venue? I'm thinking I could meet wealthy people and network that way, all while still being in the real estate world and it works on a salary + commission basis. 

I do have 4 years of sales experience, including the last 6 months of in home sales in the real estate market for a wholesaler.
