Go for real estate broker or investor first?
Hello everyone, I want to acquire my real estate license and I want to start in investing after that. I have a steady income as a employee at Costco but, I don't want to be there forever so I'm not sure if I should start a career in real estate as a broker or an investor first? Is being self employed really worth it? I remember the EBSI rule by Robert T. Kiyosaki and remember that 90% of people are either employed, or they are self employed and they only get 10% of the money. On the other hand, 10% of the people are business owners or investors and they achieve 90% of the money. So my question is, once I get my license, should I start with real estate investor or find a company to work under as a broker? Any help would be great. I'm trying to get my feet wet with investing but am not sure who to talk to.
