Project Manager getting into real-estate

[David Jensen]

Hello, my name is David Jensen, I am a project manager in the healthcare field. I have been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast and reading both business and real-estate books for years now. I am continuing to educate myself in the world of real estate and business and working to save up money to buy a house hack hopefully in the near future. 

I am curious if there is anything that I can or should be doing or learning to help set me up for a successful career in real estate?

My follow-up question is can I use my current experiences and knowledge as a project manager to make a competitive advantage for myself?

thank you in advance for any help or guidance!

@David Jensen keep reading the books and listening to the podcast, getting that education is key. I would also suggest talking to a mortgage broker to figure out what your financing situation will look like so that you can set a goal (i.e. I need $XX amount of money to buy a house, so it is my goal to save that in 6 months). I'd also suggest coming to the monthly meetup that I host here in Portland. It helps to network with others in the area that are already doing it. Here is the info on that: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
