HOW TO BE A PROPERTY MANAGER?
How would someone who has never had any property management experience, but is pretty well learned of the industry get their foot in the door with an entry level job such as assistant PM? Or for the PMs out there how did you start out and land a job? What were some keys steps that you did?

Hey Julian, I would recommend networking with local PM companies. Usually if you can network that would be able to get your foot in the door easier than a resume with no relevant experience.
May be helpful to get a real estate license as that sometimes is a requirement for some roles within a PM company.
