Real Estate Agent Question

[Jordan T.]

Hello. Im new to the forum and cant even say I'm new to real estate investing, because I havent even started. I am young still (24) and want to learn more before I jump in. I've read books, articles, and forums the last few months, but still want to expand my knowledge before I begin.

My question is- Would becoming your own real estate agent/broker be worth it? (In order to cut out the middle man) In other words, would taking courses, classes, and tests, to become a certified agent, be worth the time and money?

Thanks all.
