Real Estate Part-time Employment Ideas

[Noah Scott]

Hey all,

The TL;DR for this post: I am curious if there are any known part-time jobs in the field of Real Estate that could potentially help a would-be investor make some cash on the side, as well as getting the first-hand experience in Real Estate. This is NOT an attempt to solicit any jobs, but simply some ideas for jobs from which I could start investigating!

About me:

My name is Noah, I am a 23-year-old small business owner from the Southeastern Pennsylvania area who wants to get involved with REI while I am still in my early or mid-twenties.

I have goals, both short, medium, and long-term (which are outlined in my profile)that I intend on reaching in due time. At the moment I am still in what I would describe as the "education" phase of REI. Consuming all the available info made obtainable by BP, reading quality books/blogs, analyzing deals to gain experience, and attempting to follow the footsteps of those who have performed so well before me.

Currently, my business operates 5 days a week (M,T,Th,F,S) in the early mornings (waking up @ 3-4 am) and we finish our work day reliably around 1-2 pm. This leaves me with a lot of time during the day. Aside from maintaining a happy relationship, my time has been spent @ the gym, consuming REI info, and resting.

But I know I can optimize my time to better help myself, my loved ones, and my goals!

What I have done: I have reached out to multiple agents/brokers in my area whom I have met at some point, offering to help them (for free of course) with any projects they could use helping-hand with. I am thinking simple manual labor, helping with staging, answering/returning calls for them, etc.

What I have not done: I have not reached out to any real estate investors, simply because I do not know any, or at least I do not know that they are real estate investors. My current goal is to network my butt off, get my name out there, and see what comes of it.

I would love to find an opportunity for part-time employment that would allow me to generate some extra income on the side while getting me some much-needed firsthand experience in real estate! Any ideas on possibilities would be great.

I am grateful for anyone who took the time to read this post. Good luck to you all in your ventures!
