Real estate investing requires long term considerations as its is neither easy to purchase nor easy to sell profitable properties quickly. As a result the impact of mistakes can be devastating on the personal finances of the investor. Since most real estate is funded with loans, mistakes can leave an investor responsible for significantly larger amounts of money due than their entire investment. As a result even professional real estate investors tend to specialize in properties and markets they understand and almost all of them use attorneys, realtors and tax advisors to help them evaluate the potential investment. In addition to these experts, real estate investors tend to develop a close working relationship with bankers to ensure their contracts are funded with pre-commitments when ever possible.
It is important to evaluate financial risks associated with real estate investing to avoid mistakes. Mistakes are magnified by the borrowing that typically goes along with investments. Here are some that people commonly make:
Leaving part of the agreement off the document
It’s of critical importance to have everything related to the deal in writing. The services of an attorney are required to make this happen. Due to the investment size and durability of the investment it’s necessary to include all warranties and representations possible.
Not performing complete due diligence on property history
Sellers are not required by law to be forthcoming on the history of the property they are selling. However they are not allowed to misrepresent or leave out details when requested. A good realtor is important to ensure that the property issues are evaluated before purchase.
Getting an inadequate title insurance and not surveying the land
Land is a fundamental component of any real estate transaction. Even when purchasing a condominium, an investor can be exposed to risk relating to land. It is necessary to ensure that the title and use of land is appropriate and correctly recorded in the municipal records.
Waiting too long to accumulate the equity investment that will be required
Real estate deals are typically done on a timeline established by the purchase contract. There is a closing date by which funds must be deposited and if the purchase contract is violated the investor is exposed to substantial risk. It is therefore critical to make sure that all sources of funds are available on the closing date. A good escrow company can help ensure this.
Not using professionals to guide the purchase
Real estate investing is a complex investment strategy. It is typically longer term than any other investment and has broader ramifications on the investor than most other investment vehicles. Therefore its important to use experts to guide the process safely.
Not hiring professional management for the property
Property management requires expertise and time. When investors who have no experience try to become property managers it exposes them to cash flow and property damage risks.
Taking it all too lightly
Real estate is a long term investment. Depending on market conditions investors should be prepared to hold the property long enough to generate a return on investment.

Neither of those require a college degree, just intelligence, organization and hard work.
Any general degree should be sufficient. Some exposure to Hospitality Management may help but not very sure. Best of luck.
Check out web sites. Remax.com or others. Call realty companies directly. If you or someone you know has had a Realtor in the past, call them up and ask if they need anyone to work as an unlicensed Realtor assistant.
You don't need a RE license, but I am fairly certain you need a property management license in Nevada. If you owned them, it would be no problem. But since you are serving in a property management capacity, you'll have to have the PM license.
In Oregon, it is fairly easy to obtain, short course, background check (looking for property crimes, embezzlement type stuff, thefts, etc.) and a test.
I think it depends on which state you live in.

Hello!
I've been searching on the subject and found this:
Real Estate Managers operate residential and commercial properties, such as apartments, office buildings and retail stores. Managers work for the property's owner and perform multiple duties on-site, mainly the daily and financial supervision of a property.
I left the link at the source. Hope that helps!
A basic business degree with an emphasis in Real Estate or Property Management would most likely suffice. If you can attend a college that offers Real Estate degrees, that would be even better. I don't think you need a Real Estate license unless you intend to sell property for someone else.
Looks after the upkeep of the property.
