Choosing a job for real estate future
I’ve had plans to be an accountant for two years now and I am fixating my future on real estate. Now I’m thinking it would be wiser to become a property manager. The pay is roughly the same or close to it and I’d be learning what it takes to manage a property and the true cost of managing a property. Would this be a smart career change so to speak? Just curious what you guys think who have years of experience or even if you’ve just started out. I appreciate any kind of comment from anybody.

Have you thought about going into sales? That skilled is used in every aspect of real estate investing ... if you plan on scaling ... 50 properties or more.
