Property Management and Job Hunt

Realtor · Lehi, UT · Member since 2017 · 30 posts · 5 votes
Hey, So my wife was working for a school and is now in between jobs. She wants to learn all about real estate investing as we are planning on buying a house hack within the next year or so. She is looking for a job in Utah County where she can learn the management side of real estate investing and is thinking about getting a job for a property management company whether she is working for free or as a paid employee she just wants to learn the transferable skills. Any advice on who? Or if you think their would be a better means to our same end?

@Collin Baumann I would suggest she just find a medium or smaller size PM company to work for. I suggest that size because then she wont be stuck just doing one part of the business but will have an opportunity to get experience in the entire process. I am sure you can get on a jobs site and find one that she can apply for and she will get paid while learning. 

I would focus on getting paid and the size of the company and not worry about a small commute. 

I hope this helps.

    Collin, what kind of distances would your wife be willing to travel? I'm assuming you're located in West Jordan?

    Matt Sumsion We actually live in Lehi Utah. I need to update that. Anywhere within Utah County would be doable.

    Collin, 

    Okay, great. Is your wife looking to learn more about real estate investing or how to manage properties. If she worked for a property management company then it's likely she won't get experience in actually real estate investing, they might be out there but I just haven't heard about them. 

    Utah Vally is a great place for both types of work. 

    With a little more info on what it is your wife is looking for maybe I could help direct you to some potential options. Feel free to DM me if you'd like.
