Within my 20 years of experience, Theodore, it's great to see proactive agents like yourself getting out there!

Based on my experience of running properties, even if the build were to cost you as much as $600k but you could generate $125k/year, you'd be very happy with that investment. 

My advice would be to start small with your first deals to gain experience before scaling up.

Happy to chat more about my experiences if you'd like. 

It will probably depend on your experience and connections with lenders.

Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

I don't have that experience or too much knowledge outside of my own research.

Not having experience qualifying prospects I would think that the leads you would get from here, if any, would be..... challenging. 

@Monty Alston It has some impact but no lenders will give you credit for having experience building a home unless you have built or renovated a home in the last 3-5 years.

They tend to rely solely on property managers and fail to effectively oversee the management of the property.
