Getting Started in Real Estate somehow, someway

[Seth Ricketts]

I am trying to get my start in real estate investing and am wondering if obtaining my license and becoming a part time agent would help me learn more about it as well as maybe put a little extra cash in my pocket to get started with. Since it doesn't really cost a lot of time or moeny to get a license, I'm thinking that it may not be a bad Idea. Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with being a part time real estate agent? Could it help me to better understand the system and how it works?
