Hello BP!
I graduated college this week with business management and a math minor. I currently am working as the inventory manager for a local company but am looking for a job related to real estate.
What would you say is a good job (besides being an agent) that would allow me to learn about real estate while I begin investing?
and to my Pensacola people, if you know of any jobs locally that pertain in ANY way to real estate please let me know!
In terms of a real estate job beside being an agent, I would say "bird dogging" is a strong option. I haven't done it myself (I'm going the RE agent route), but I've heard for some of the other members that it's a solid way to learn the numbers for your market while also making connections. Basically you find a great deal for an investor and charge a fee. Unlike wholesaling, you do NOT put it under contract.
If you haven't already heard this podcast episode, the first part explains how @Chad Carson got started with bird dogging. I found it really helpful. Maybe you will, too.
Good luck and let us know in which direction you go!
@Rosalina Brenda Berk thanks, its great to be done. and thanks for the podcast reference. ille deffinitely give that one a relisten. Im just trying to find something that can help me further my real estate investing career if at all possible.
