How to Become a Property Manager without a Real Estate Degree

[Ronald Daley]

Hi BP community! 

Can anyone give me advise on courses I can take or credentials I can earn in order to become a professional residential property manager? What things can I do to get the opportunity to work for a professional property management company without a real estate degree? 

I do have a college degree in Engineering, but I do not have have a degree in Real Estate and I have minimal experience in real estate investing. It seems like those are the prerequisites to get an opportunity to work for a company and become a professional property manager. I have tried searching IREM.org for advise but unfortunately I cannot find anything. Any advise anyone can provide will be extremely helpful. 

PS -  This is my first post and I am excited to be apart of the BP community!
