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.

Once you narrow it down, start with small jobs to test their reliability and quality before giving them bigger projects.Building a solid network takes time, but having dependable people on call is a lifesaver for your rentals.

I do not think enough coverage is going to the people who are fighting this fight -that job is tough and a big uphill battle to fight these fires. 

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

Or it is a working class area with a lot of jobs that are likely to be heavily impacted by a recession.To understand these risks, unfortunately, takes experience.  

@Aaron Raffaelli what did you do before this job?

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.

I think they've done a great job of building their product and if you already have a property listed on Airbnb, it's super easy to import to MiniStays (though it's not difficult to list your property there if you don't.)

Your job is to make sure they are covering what they need to cover for the property. 

This is why it's so important for owners to do a better job of screening PMCs than screening tenants!
