I'm completely fine with this but I'm wondering if it would be difficult to find a brokerage and if its feasible to start and eventually grow into a full-time career. 

Would love to learn about pain points from other property managers.So I have a career background working in software and am currently applying simply builds to common monthly tasks such as sending, receiving, and logging payments for rents.

And you would only qualify for that if your primary job (where you spend the most hours) is in a real estate field, but also it has to be at a business that you own at least 5% of (so W-2 income typically doesn't qualify).
