Entry Level Jobs in real estate?

Question

What is an entry level job in real estate? I've been thinking about quitting my minimum wage job for one that's close to real estate investing. Is there one that's easier to get into?

Thanks for the advice, guys! I'm gonna check out the ways to become an agent here and/or see if I can work for an agent. This is a great start!

Hi Account Closed

real estate agent is commission but easier to get into. The ones that I found closely related to investing would be underwriting but those are commission. Property manager, but you need a license and its more of a w2 job. Rest of the really good jobs you need to have connections.

Account Closed- If you want to get into real estate investing jobs, I would recommend finding real estate investors in your area. Go to www.biggerpockets.com/meet and do a search for your area and message at least 10 people each week to meet for coffee/tea. Try to meet with at least 5 every week over the next few months. You will be surprised at how fast your network grows.

Another thing you can do is go to www.biggerpockets.com/events and see if there are any real estate events happening near you? Check out your local www.meetup.com, search your area for real estate events and attend! You will meet people who are looking for help in all of these places.

Being an assistant to an agent is a good place to start. My suggestion would be to go to Zillow and call on the top agents in your area and ask them if they need any help.
