Hey BP!
I'm a new investor who has been reading furiously and spectating for a few months. I'm interested in multifamily investing. I plan to start small with 2-4 family deals and scale that to large apartment buildings.
I'm considering changing careers and finding a job in real estate that helps me to learn the business faster so I can be more educated about making deals. I currently run production for a large company in NYC and it takes all of my time, leaving me minimal time to focus on investments.
So, I know how to produce million dollar commercials and photo shoots; how can I translate that into a job in real estate? What do you all think is a good avenue? I do plan on offering video and photo coverage of sale properties and investment videos, but if I was to work in any one area, does anyone have a recommended avenue they think is worth considering?
Just spit-balling here, but you could create a side business where you work with investors to create commercials/videos for their businesses. Online marketing is becoming more important in this industry and video really helps. Aside from that you could get hired on with a property management company or become a Realtor, both would be very helpful for someone looking to invest in apartments. Good luck!
If you have the capital, I recommend just using the money from your job now to start investing on homes in your area. Definitely use the analyze tab to get a great understanding of the property and work with realtors to set up the deal. Another thing I would recommend is to partner with someone that is looking for capital and has the knowledge of the business to run things with you.
