What Job would you get to start in real estate?

[Jim Brown]

what jobs are avialble if one wanted to learn the investment side of the business.  Obviously getting a real estate license is an option but are there any other type of positions that would focus more on invseting rather than the sales side?  I know a lot of people just jump right in with both feet and believe me, I've that about that.  It's just part of me just wants to proceed more cautiously.  The best case scenerio would be to just partner with someone with more considerably more experience than me, but I'm finding those type of relationships are hard to come by.  Being a newb I don't bring a lot to the table at the moment.
