I am getting into property management to fund real estate
Hello there,
I am trying to save in real estate while going to college. I want to do this by being a property manager. The problem is in Washington State to be a property manager you have to be a licensed broker and I am afraid being licensed will be an conflict in interest with investing in real estate later down the line. I diddnt fully understand but I was listening to bigger pockets, episode #336 about how it could conflict with some deals and get you in some legal issues when negotiating a deal. Should I hold off on being a property manager since I want to invest in the future considering the possible legal issues? Or would it be okay to become a broker considering the income could jumpstart me down the line financially, not to mention the access to MLS, money saved on being my own broker buying a house. Thank you! Anything helps!
