I am trying to start a career in property management and was wondering how to start out.

This experience will be invaluable when you're identifying investment opportunities and negotiating deals.Network with Real Estate Professionals: Even if you don't change your W2 job immediately, joining real estate investment groups or attending industry events can build valuable connections and knowledge.By taking a strategic approach to your career pivot, you can build a robust skill set that not only supports your current employment but also lays a strong foundation for your future in real estate investing.

Real estate has grown into a genuine passion of mine, and I’m now looking to pivot into a full-time career in real estate.

Reflecting on the passage of over 30 years since the inception of my real estate career, the evolution from appraiser to investor and broker has been both adventuresome and deeply fulfilling.Over this three-decade span, I've not only navigated the complexities of property valuation but have also acquired numerous properties along the way, and have assisted countless individuals in achieving their real estate goals.

My 17 year career with the Feds came to an end on April 7th. 

I'm sure @Zack Karp can give you advice on this front.There are many different careers within real estate, so I suggest investigating the jobs/careers that seem interesting to you.

I’ve been lucky to spend my career building and growing technology businesses that make it easier to do hard things, most recently for real estate investors like you at Mynd.

@Luke OkaneIf you don't see yourself having a career as a home inspector, it's probably not worth the time and effort to get your license.

As someone getting started, your ethics and morals will play a huge role in your real estate career.

Balancing a career, family, and getting into real estate is no small feat.
