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.

@Cameron McNulty I would say you are on the right track when it comes to acquisitions, as many investing teams need that role. You could look at wholeselling or syndications. You could also become a silent equity partner with investors if you have the cash on hand. There are definitely many options other than the ones I mentioned, but figured I’d brainstorm a few for you. Hope this helps.

Why are you leaning away from home ownership? I got into investing through house hacking and I definitely recommend it!
