I'm considering offering my services as an Administrative Assistant to a Real Estate Brokerage or a Property Management Office for free, in order to break into the industry.

You’re right, the $1000 shortage in the security deposit is a huge pain in the *** to fight over.  

Network Administrator for Commerical Real Estate Tech company, overseeing IT infrastructure and systems throughout the United States.

I agreed, he hugged me as I laid in bed on pain meds and then he left.Fast forward to two days later when I'm checking our employees work (we had an employee from the UAE working 40hr/week for us making phone calls on multi-family properties in-town) Let it be known I didn't have my phone the entire time I was in the hospital as it was stolen and wasn't allowed visitors due to COVID.

Totally possible I'm missing something there, so apologies if so, just want to save you the pain I have gone through in the past with over engineering fairly simple procedures.

I am currently on track towards a business administration undergrad degree.

That authority is called letters of administration/letters of testamentary.

@Logan PembertonHave you ever looked at the Small Business Administration?

Due to administrative error more or less, this didn’t happen.

I manage about 30 tenants, so collecting rent plus all the utilities would be such a pain, it's not even worth the time.
