Property Management Job

[Joshua Huston]

I'm looking for some advice about learning property management. A few weeks ago I received several job offers after applying to be an assistant property manager, both from companies that managed SFRs and small multi-family, and those managing large apartment complexes. Unfortunately I had to turn them down due to a short time-table of army training. My thoughts were that I could learn how to manage properties with no risk. However, at a recent meet up I was advised that it didn't matter too much; other things like finding deals and making offers are more important. What are your thoughts?
