Should I be a real estate agent?

[Alexis Miranda]

I got my license now 6 months ago. I know this is a slow start up business, but the only reason I really got my license was to help me make money for investing. I want to be a real estate investor and now I feel like it might not have even been worth it. Especially for wholesaling or assigning deals. I am constantly worried I might do something wrong, even though a lot of people tell me use my best judgement or its a grey area. What do you think I should do? Should I continue as an agent and try to make it work the best way I can or focus 100% of my time on investing?

Becoming a licensed agent is the best thing you could have done for your personal investing goals. It opens up a lot of opportunities for you. I'm a licensed agent but do no conventional real estate. I'm a wholesaler and it helps me tremendously. Before I began direct mail marketing, I was averaging 30 wholesale deals a year just from the mls. The margins are much smaller which is why I shifted my focus to direct mail. Please feel free to reach out with additional questions but if you want to learn how to wholesale as an agent, go to YouTube and search for a woman that goes by the name flipthiswholesaler. I didn't learn from her but she does everything the exact same way and has a video for every step of the process. Best of luck!
