The Road for an Agent & Investor

[Mike Iafrati]

Good Morning BiggerPockets,

We all know the first thing you need to do to accomplish something is to set a goal. The next thing to do is to develop a plan to achieve that goal. Although establishing a goal is the easier of the two tasks, the latter tends to be the most challenging.

My goal is to become a highly successful real estate agent while also achieving the same level of success as a real estate investor. Now, the part of developing the plan...

I know the two, although are very much related, can and will be two completely different entities. I also know the relationships I make as a realtor will bleed into the investment business and vice versa. The question is, would it be smarter to develop and grow as one before diving into the other? I’m not looking for a “cheat sheet” or a “what to do” response but I would like to hear from others on what it takes to exist and thrive in both worlds simultaneously?

I listen the the BP Podcast with co-host @davidgreene and it seems like he has it down. I’m sure there are many others out here in the forums who can share some insight as well.

Thanks in advance all!-
