Retail Property Management

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me experience. I got my MBA in business management and I am very interested in becoming a property manager here in New York. I have experience very simple to help my father on the side with some of its properties, but I was wondering if anyone knows what I need to take steps to become a property manager and / or appeal to a potential employer for an executive assistant to the property. I currently have a background in areas other than automobile insurance claims in a call center, a couple of years of experience in sales and retail.

Thank you.

It appears that you have many good experiences and education .... why do not you start calling some property management companies, to know who is hiring and tell them you

My background is in residential property management. Would you go in this direction or commercial? It appears that you have a good base. You should check with some of the largest property management companies in your area (or other areas, so ready to move). Contact their HR and ask them what skills they look for candidates and if they promote within or look outside the organization. I have worked with many very good PM who came from other industries.

Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and National Apartment Association (NAA) may be of some assistance. They offer a wide range of education and training specific to the career.

You can AQUAINT with the differences between owner-managed and cost-managed publicly traded REIT, etc.
