Considering career change, looking for advice

[Matt Bodnar]

Hey everyone, First time poster here, appreciate any responses. I moved to fishtown with my girlfriend in January and I like it a lot so far. I work in hospitality, which can mean brutal schedule/hours and a stressful and chaotic work environment. So, I’m thinking of ways to get out of it without taking 10 steps backwards and have always had a high interest in real estate. I’m interested in brokerage because of the rental market here and would love to eventually be able to invest in my own when I have the capital and more knowledge. I figured it made sense to get myself licensed, but I’m hoping some folks out there can give me some pointers on where to start, maybe even meet for a beer one day and chat about it. Thanks in advance for any help!
