Becoming a real estate agent to buy 1st house hack stupid idea? 

I really want to become a real estate investor and buy multiple properties. However, I am not sure if I want to do real estate as my main job forever. Is it stupid to get an real estate license to buy my own rental properties? I also want to test being a real estate agent (I'm fairly young, 25 y/o). If I get a real estate agent license I don't have to depend on another agent to show me all properties, submit offers fast, etc.

Would it be weird if you are an agent looking at properties? Does this give you an advantage with buying houses or a disadvantage?
