I am new in the game and want to maximize my success. I don't have the funds ready for investing so I am looking for a job/career in real estate that can help me learn more.
Ideally, if it could be an M-F 9-5 job so that I can concentrate the evenings and weekends on building my RE knowledge.
My current plan is to buy and hold single and multi-family properties. So far, I have found Escrow and Title careers may be the best bet, but I wanted to get some other ideas and opinions.
Tim, if you can afford the time it will take that you're not getting paid to get a commission career going being a Realtor is great for inside knowledge on the market and access to great deals when you're investing more. If you can't afford the commission thing I'd go work for a rock star Realtor on their team as an admin or something. Pay is reasonable for starting and gets your foot in the door, and you get paid while you learn as opposed to learning as an agent and not getting paid until you close. If you work for an awesome Realtor and are a quick learner you'll get so much knowledge there. Good luck.
