Those in themselves are great education.Degrees won’t help you much unless you are trying to get a job at a large fund.

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 do not flip so I understand your reluctance to want to flip (it’s a job, taxes, selling costs, etc), but it seems like a much better flip than brrrr.  

I know a great agent in the area who helped my friend buy in Ogden and did a great job negotiating.

I have a W-2 Job, capital saved up for a down payment (or two), and a buy box based on my affordability.

For example Intel headquarters, Google, FB, Amazon, Nationwide, Honda, (recently Anduril announced another 4k jobs to Columbus).

For example, if the job takes 20 hours at $25/hour, you’re looking at around $800 total.Expect quotes to be significantly higher, but use your formula to negotiate.

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes. 

Great job for taking the leap.

I am looking in the greater Austin area, with plans of securing a job and house-hacking a quadplex or triplex.
