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?

@Bryan Tasumi, it was told to me years ago that one in every four Californians get their License at some point. Hey, who can argue with the idea of getting between 3 and 6 percent of sale prices in La La Land, for perhaps the cost of a few smiles and handshakes over drinks?

You mentioned "submit offers fast". But what about "submit cash offers fast"?

There's the rub...
