Need Great Expert Advice on starting out!!

[Ricardo Fuller]

Hey everyone I need some great expert advice...I been trying to get into real estate field for a while now but really do not know the best way to go about entering it.

My first choice would be to work in RE field before I really start to invest. I think this would be the best way to learn the in and outs of the business and to gain some great experience.

So I was wondering do you think it's best to go to college to get a degree in the field or maybe I should just dive right in?

Are there any advantages or disadvantage to starting with a degree?( other than time or loan debt)

Is a degree really neccesary?

I am very interested in the property management field and want to start from there but I also would't mind starting from an Inspector or RE agent. Lol or maybe just save and start out investing. :roll:

Thankyou Any advice is Helpful

Starting as a property manager is a great idea if your goal is to be in the rental business. There is a lot of turnover in the management business and I would suggest visiting all the large apartment complexes in your area to apply for a job.

You do not need a college degree to be a real estate investor. A degree will do almost nothing toward advancing your rental property business, although it could help you get a job as a property manager with a major property management business.

I would strongly suggest that you join your local REIA (Real Estate Investors Association) and make friends with the successful investors in your area!

Good Luck,

Mike
