i am a business student at csun and working. I have also just obtained my california agent license. I want to become a real estate investor, using rental property. Where do i start? I was thinking of working for a commercial property firm? Id rather not have to work for someone though.

1. Don't do what you don't want to do.

When you decided to obtain your real estate agent's license...what was your goal and motivation? Did you just want the knowledge? Did you want to have a broker sponser you? Maybe you should gutz out the sponsorship time frame and obtain your broker's license. Maybe you might want to work for one of the 100% commision brokerages that offer no management and no back-office support. Maybe become affiliated with a developer or builder who doesn't require licensing.
There's alot of options available to you.

2. Do what you want to do. Follow your own dream.

Good Luck! Also congrats on obtaining your license!
