@Donald Breault Agree with @Nathan Gesner 100%. Go find a job at a good PM company. Learn from them, get your licenses/credentials. After some time (up to you, 1-3years??) strike out on your own if you really enjoy it. Perhaps if you excel with them there may be an opportunity to be an owner with them? Property Management is like flying an airplane. It is very easy to do until something goes wrong. At that point, experience, knowledge, training and skills makes the difference between crashing and landing.

Thank you for the response. It is always worrying taking a serious pay cut to change careers but I am starting to believe it worth it.

Happy to chat with you next week to help as much as I can. I sell real estate (specifically to investors), own a large long term property management, a short term management and invest myself

That would be wonderful. Thank you all for the responses so far. No licensure required where I am from (Mass) though I will continue learning as much about the laws as I can. I believe working under someone to start and learning a lot would be the most important start for me. I will be taking a large pay cut to do this and want to absorb as much as possible!

Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong section. I am seeking some thoughts about the best way to break into a property management career. I am a homeowner and plan on eventually having rentals. I really enjoy real estate and always have. Looking to make the transition from Utilities to Property Management. I am doing my research right now but any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
