Currently I feel like I am being left in the dark and that scares me because we want to get our REI careers rolling (which our PM is aware of), and the first step is to get a good tenant.

Some estimates of remaining shadow inventory by respected analysts are as high as $840 billion.

Not to mention I am in the military so when I get a chance to go home which is very rare because I am busy a lot he promised to show me about the business because I am in the dark and he never did.

Perhaps you can shadow someone on a flip or learn the best way to pick up rentals etc..

STAY IN SCHOOL, GET YOUR REAL ESTATE LICENSE OR LEASING LICENSE WHILE IN SCHOOL, TRY FINDING A JOB WITH A BROKERAGE WHERE YOU CAN SHADOW OR JOIN THE TEAM OF A TOP NOTCH AGENT WHERE YOU CAN GET PAID WHILE LEARNING, AND DO BOTH!!!!!  

@Ateer Sheth I would love to be able to shadow a project such as the one you mentioned in your comment.

My father owns about 20 units and I started out as shadowing him then later on managed one of his apartment buildings I live in now.

On the point made by @Jay Hinrichs about this class of renter, I own lower end rentals (though in a much higher end market) and can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt the tenants are not easy and are not just happy to have a place to live.

Hello , I'm looking to shadow an investor in a Sheriff sale any where in New Jersey.

I also don't want to bother each private investor for letters considering this is a shot in the dark approach (numbers game).
