Getting Into Real Estate as a J.O.B

[Nick D'Alessandro]

Biggerpockets Team,

I have been in the education portion of my real estate journey and will continue to be on this educational push until August rolls around. I will be moving to the North Dallas area to be closer to family come August. 

My experience is in human resources but my passion is real estate. I have been aggressivly paying off my student debt and should be debt free come August. Unfortunately, that doesnt leave me with a lot of buffer to invest in real estate or start out as a real estate agent (my preferred job) 

I realize that there is more then one way to get into real estate and I wanted to get everyones opinions on what jobs they think I might be able to do related to real estate. 

I was thinking of being an apartment manager or a property manager but I am not sure if I can get into it having so little/no experience. 

Any recommendations? 

My end goal is to be a long-term buy and hold investor with a job in real estate in some way form or fashion (preferrably an agent).
