Should I start in property management or obtain my real estate license?

[Carissa H.]

Hello,

My name is Carissa Hendricks and I am so grateful to have found this community! I am finishing up How to Invest in Real Estate by Joshua Dorkin/Brandon Turner and would like to take another action step. My husband and I are interested in starting our investment journey, but we are not sure of the best avenue to do so. He currently works full time while I stay home with our 11 month old daughter. Recently, I have considered either returning to the workforce within a property management role for experience or obtaining my RE license. What advice or recommendations would you give to our family? I would also love to connect with any local investors to simply learn more. We live near the Savannah, GA area.
