Becoming a Realtor and Flpping properties...Can I?

[Melissa Milian]

Hey Ladies and Gents!

I don't want to make this a long post so I will cut to the chase and I'm looking for some clarity on how I can keep everything "in house". I am currently a Project Manager for a Construction Firm in the Great Baltimore Area. I have a huge interest on becoming a Realtor for the purpose of having access to the MLS and selling property but I also want to get down and dirty, buy property and flip/rehab/hold. I guess what I want to do is show the property, sell it and offer rehab service as well or purchase property and flip them while being a realtor. Is this possible to do? What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this goal and making it profitable?

I just want to be pointed in the right direction and get the pros/cons of my business venture. 

Thanks so much! Hope to hear some good advice!

@Melissa Milian I do not see a reason why you would not be able to do all of the above you mentioned. As long as you have the proper licensing for selling Real Estate and also performing construction work or partner with someone that has the proper licensing in construction you should be good to go. I do the same in Miami, FL. Good luck!
