Hey guys I recently joined this forum few weeks ago and I am loving it always learning new things. I am 20 years old and really wanting to get into real estate and building my own property investment portfolio. Sorry this question isn't really much about investing, but I am interested into getting into the property management or real estate sales or both ? I want to start my way into the market and want to get some opinions or feedbacks if these are good to get into? or which is better . Thanks

Hi Matt
The scope for generating a high income is greater with being a real estate agent over a property manager (unless you owned the property management company). Both jobs require different sets of skills – with REA's relying strongly on sales and networking.
p.s – you don't have to work in real estate to invest in it.
Cheers

Hi Matt,
When do you live?
A real estate agent friend rang me yesterday asking if I knew anybody that would be suitable for a real estate junior/PA position with him in the Eastern Suburbs, Sydney.
It could be a very interesting job to get started in the industry with.

Hi Matt,
Have a read of this book, The Millionaire Mind by Thomas Stanley

This will provide you with some prospective in terms of managing or selling.
