Asset management vs property mgmt discussion

[Timothy Woodland]

I had a discussion with an investor friend of mine the other day over self managing my multi family properties( right now 6 units) because I know no company will maintain my properties like I will. His suggestion was to consider starting a property management and manage others peoples properties too. My vision is to buy and hold many properties in my investing career and my question is...... What are other paths that I can take other than starting a property management company or becoming a realtor.....?  On top of that, any insight on what an asset manager does?

Thank you!
