Can REI even be a career?

[Cameron McNulty]

Hello, thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion.

My name is Cameron, I’m 22 years old, I come from a real estate family that consisted of brokers and agents. I can confidently state that real estate is in my blood (weather I like it or not). I have experience in managing large multi family apartments and the leasing of them, however that part bores me as I’m a big picture thinker and managing tenants makes my head spin. 

My question to you all is as follows: If I’m not interested in taking the traditional route of becoming an agent/broker, nor take much fancy in the homeowner side of real estate in general. Where can I go? Weather it’s traveling and visiting potential acquisitions, or simply being apart of a small team of investors that are on the come up, How can I make a career on the investing side of real estate? 

(P.S I’m looking for a change if you can’t already tell) 

Your opinion is appreciated. Thank you,

Cameron.
