Let's face it, the barrier to entry is pretty low...You'll learn a ton of relevant info, open up an entire new income stream (listing and buyer's agent commissions), and be able to offer a broader spectrum of services to your clients who need to sell.An assignment of a contract is a perfectly legitimate exit strategy in some cases, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of tying up someone's home with a contract you have no intention of honoring, then scrambling to find a buyer before the contract contingencies expire - it's this business model that has given the practice a bad name, and is fraught with legal and ethical issues.

Rather to point out that even with a pretty broad professional and educational experience, I honestly believe Property Management is one of the most difficult professions to master, mainly because it is so broad - you have to know a lot of stuff, about a lot of different stuff, to be a good property manager, such as:People skills - dealing with owners, tenants, contractors, government officials, real estate professionals, etc.Project management skills - timelines, logistics, financingAdministrative skills - property management software, rent collections, leases, contracts, renewals, bills, payment processingConstruction and renovation skills and cost estimatingMarketing and Advertising - if prospective tenants can't find your rental listings and become leads, then you won't last longCRM and Database management - lead capture and workflowDue Diligence - interpreting tenant screenings, background and credit checks, etcTechnology - PM software, electronic lock boxes, real estate apps - probably the toughest on this list to keep up withLegal - landlord/tenant laws, Fair Housing laws, Credit Reporting laws, privacy laws, evictions, etc.I could go on and on.
