I think you forgot the Investors!

Photographer (for property)
Project Manager

 

With property as my hobby too, I'm glad I was able (from investing) to quit my full time job to start a business in the industry.

Are you trying to transition too gockie? Which do you like best?

 

I'd like to do something that doesnt take years of study....
I used to do nightfill at Big W. Most fun job.
Painting's satisfying but probably doesnt pay much....
How about plumber for a total change (note... I am a female and people might think that's odd unfortunately).... I know that is very high pay...

Otherwise... if theres some sort of property software/technology I can work on?
I do have skill in data analysis
Anyway... I can manage multiple Airbnbs without too much difficulty.
Happy to take suggestions....

 

I like the sound of an accountant that specialises in property. Qualification + passion = happy job.

 

I think doing anything with a passion will be a fun / happy job. Live life on your own terms

 

Just a few I deal with

Asset manager
Portfolio Manager
Facilities Manager
Operations Manager
Building Services Manager
Building engineering Manager
Centre Manager
Property Analyst
All the other engineers (hydraulic, mechanical, Geotechnical, electrical)
Council
Land Surveyor
Registrar in land titles office
Trust accontant
Project Manager
Project Coordinator
Lease Administrator
Telco lease Manager
Land Access Coordinator
Water lease Manager/tidal holdings

 

I've been out of the industry for 8 years...Never focused on property whilst I was in it. Now I work in an industry not related to either. I'm preparing my for next move. People say it's never too late, but if you have obligations well, it's extremely difficult.

 

Sounds like you manage a lot of managers

 

@Gockie

Asset Manager for Govt Agencies/private/public company
or
Portfolio Manager for Hotel Chain (free travelling and accommodation around the world)

May suit you well!

 

Painters can be paid very well if they are skilful and efficient and become 'in demand'.

Similarly, Plumbers can be paid peanuts or not at all if they are useless, dangerous or just don't turn up.

Think outside the box instead of tarnishing individual jobs with what you only perceive.

Policy type work?

There's an area at Federal Treasury that focuses on property micro-markets, there'd likely be much bigger teams in individual states. There'd be spin of policy roles in the private sector (advocacy), other policy agencies (APRA, state housing, etc)...

You can create the next NRAS (pretty sure housing affordability is ramping up again as a hot issue). Advise on the policy, write the law, etc. Euro will love you.

 

Yeah definitely! I wouldn’t mind trying to become a real estate agent; however, I can’t afford to go at least 12 months (if not more) earning barely anything due to financial commitments.

I’ve actually started studying externally at University doing a degree in Property, which is the pathway for becoming a Property Valuator. The course takes 3 years but because I’ve already got a degree in a related field I’ve managed to get credits for most of the generic courses (statistics, finance, accounting etc.) that are included in the degree. It will still take a couple of years to complete while I continue working full-time. However, there’s no guarantees I’ll land a job in the field but at least with studying externally besides HECS fees I’m not losing anything.

 

Is that Uni SA Business, 2fast4u?

 

Yeah the degree is called Bachelor of Business (Property).

 

Commercial buildings need lots of management otherwise they'd be empty.

 

When I grow up I wanna be a double brick house.

 

You'll have to move to WA then, not much demand for those in other states.

 

What degree did you before that is related to allow for the unit credits?
