I have wanted to get into property management since I can remember ... Where do I even start?
Start with researching your state's laws. Some require that you be working under a licensed real estate broker. Others will let anyone be a PM. Check your state laws first.
Then you basically have three routes:
1) On your own, small time. Advertise on craigslist, call out of state owners, etc. and just PM yourself, small time.
2) On your own, larger scale. Start your own property management company, with employees.
3) Get hired by a current property management company. Work for them. (A good option to "learn the ropes.")
Little to no money should be required, save possibly option 2.
