Career in real-estate

[Brian Kohtz]

I have had a small business for 8 years installing signage.  For several reason its time to move on from the business.  Looking back on my adventure into the sign business I concluded that when i did it all again I would work in the industry for at least 2 years before venturing off on my own, this way I can get my education while making some money before risking it all and enrolling in the school of hard knocks. That being said I'm digging into the idea of real-estate investment, something I have always been interested in.  Any thoughts on a job in the industry that would give me the best position to learn as I earn?  Property management, appraiser, inspector, realtor?
