Best way to get paid to learn

Karac Davis
Posted

I am interested in full out Brrrring. 
Need to raise more capital and I need to learn what things cost and how to do them and how to find deals, etc etc etc. 

Is there a career I can get started in that will pay me to learn the ropes? 

Like carpenter apprentice, or project manager, etc? 

I am very handy and also intellectually bright with numbers and I have an accounting degree. I am doing an unrelated career at the moment that makes me like 75k a year, but I’m bored with it. I’m ready to be big time and make more money for my family.

One potential career path that may be of interest to you is working as a property manager for a real estate investment company. Property managers oversee the day-to-day operations of a property, including maintenance, leasing, and tenant relations. By working in this role, you can gain valuable experience in property management and learn about the costs associated with various property improvements and maintenance tasks.

Another option is to work as a real estate agent or broker. This will give you exposure to the real estate industry and allow you to learn about the market and how to find deals. As an agent or broker, you can also work with investors to help them find and purchase properties.

You may also consider working for a construction company or contracting firm, where you can gain hands-on experience with property renovations and repairs.

Finally, you could consider working as an analyst or accountant for a real estate investment firm. This would allow you to use your accounting skills while also gaining experience in real estate investing and analysis.

Regardless of the career path you choose, it's important to network with other real estate professionals and attend industry events to learn about new opportunities and gain insights into the market. Best of luck in your pursuit of a career in real estate!
