Looking for guidance!

[Joseph Mazzotta]

Hello BP!

My name is Joe. I am a 27 year old, New Yorker born and raised. I bought my first home at 24 years old and am currently in the process of selling this home.

I have made a conscious decision to leave my construction career in NYC and pick up and move to Saint Petersburg, FL to pursue a career in real estate.

I plan on buying my first deal a year from now after I’m settled and scope out surrounding neighborhoods. During this year I plan on obtaining my real estate license. 

My question, is there any other career/jobs anyone would recommend on pursuing to further my education and insight in the REI world?
GREATLY APPRECIATED!
