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!
