.#2 You can get your license as an agent and simply do property management with the blessing of your broker, I know Keller Williams & RE/MAX in my area will allow you to do such things and they will let you keep the majority of the profit.In my state you would only need to be a property manager for about 3 years before you could be a broker (you would have to provide proof that you assisted in management and did leasing), so if you are motivated and take your brokers classes right after getting your licenses you could be a property manager in a few years depending on your state and in the mean time you could build up a book of business to take with you.When it comes to answering the actual questions you asked here are a few tips for building the business:You can pay for leads, company's like all property management will give you leads for a price..

I am a new agent for Keller Williams Realty in the Fort Myers area.

As Gary Keller said, "Listings are the gift from the Real Estate Gods."

Joey Budka, check out the new book written by Keller Williams - HOLD...http://youtu.be/PjculZauSp8Check out the 12:00 Minute and especially the 14:00 minute mark.It is interesting to know, that the investor Real Estate agent had the smallest clientele, but yet at that time was the #1 Real estate agent under Century 21 at that time!

Start with the book The Million Dollar Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller.  

I would recommend areas like Katy (near Houston), Southlake, Frisco, Highland Park or Aledo (all in DFW area), even Georgetown in the Austin area, for your better public schools.If Tarrant county is your first choice,  I suggest Southlake, Grapevine-Colleyville,  followed by Keller and Northwest or H-E-B.

I was on Craigslist and I seen a post about the Keller Williams company hiring and training people to be real estate agents.

You can also go at it alone with Keller Williams.

I've had a meeting with a Keller Williams brokerage, and also have a few other brokers of Keller Williams looking to set up other meetings.
