Breaking into the property management field.

[Donald Breault]

Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong section. I am seeking some thoughts about the best way to break into a property management career. I am a homeowner and plan on eventually having rentals. I really enjoy real estate and always have. Looking to make the transition from Utilities to Property Management. I am doing my research right now but any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

@Donald Breault  Agree with @Nathan Gesner 100%.  Go find a job at a good PM company.  Learn from them, get your licenses/credentials.  After some time (up to you, 1-3years??) strike out on your own if you really enjoy it.  Perhaps if you excel with them there may be an opportunity to be an owner with them?  Property Management is like flying an airplane. It is very easy to do until something goes wrong.  At that point, experience, knowledge, training and skills makes the difference between crashing and landing.
