New investor becoming an agent

[Justin Feliz]

Should I become an agent before buying my first home or use another agent until I start building my portfolio and acquiring properties more frequently ? Is it worth paying the fees if I'm only buying 1 home a year for now?

I'm getting my license before investing.  I'm doing the pre-license class 3/28 to 5/3 and hope to have the license in hand within 3 wks after that.  I plan to work as an agent on the side to help pay for properties I might want to purchase.
