Fortunately, with my job, I do have people there to discuss it with and learn from, but I am still excited to expand that knowledge base further than my immediate circle.On my personal real estate journey, I am currently under construction on a new-build triplex that I'll be house hacking.

If you've had a license for eight years and don't know how to get a PM license in your state, then I would suggest you don't have sufficient knowledge or experience to take on the responsibility, particularly in a state that is very difficult to navigate.
