The fork in the road as a young investor...

[Austin Walters]

Hey BP, so I come to get advice on a confusing path. I am currently a student finishing college, my degree is in Finance with a minor in Marketing. I work two jobs and am trying to plan my summer for the best opportunity. My plan was to go get my real estate license, take an online course and get going as an agent this summer. However, I've heard the licensing process and getting your name under a broker can be a lengthy process, (don't want to waste my summer). I'm curious to hear your experience with getting your license, (if applicable). Perhaps, I'm having a case of analysis paralysis but its difficult to decide weather to continue a degree, become an agent and investor, or get a full-time job and invest on side at start. I know there is no real "right" answers here but great insight and wisdom comes out of the mouths of the tried and true. If you're an agent or have been, I'd love to hear the pro's and con's to licensing or if it is better sought out down the road after establishing yourself.

Thanks,

Austin Walters
