is a property manager a good job as a real estate agent?

i want to start purchasing rental property for myself. but until that i want to make income.  does being a property manager give me any extra leverage as an agent?  usually when the owners want to sell they would list it through me since im the prop manager

@Devin Mann I do both sales and property management, and probably a third of my sales business is buying and selling investment properties for my clients.  So, yes, being a PM may lead you to additional sales.

That being said, you need to be a real PM, not and agent who happens to take on a few properties on the side.  You need good systems and good communication skills to be good at this.  If you suck, your PM clients will not want to work with you in the sales aspect.
