Get Real Estate License & Start Part time?

[Andre Jernigan]

Good Afternoon BP Community!

I have been recently trying to decide to get my real estate license in order to transition my career into the real estate industry while also investing. I am a full time W-2 employee averaging between 45-50 hours a week at the moment.

My plan is to get my license in order to gain access to the MLS as well as increase the number of people I can connect with while being able to potentially add meaningful value. Along with that I'll be able to use the study material and class to gain a better grasp of real estate as a whole. Moreover, I figured i could start out by focusing on a smaller number of clients and deals to start out and then once I get some traction make the transition into full time realtor and real estate investor.

If possible, I’d like to hear some of your experiences and advice as to whether or not it’d be beneficial to start part time.

Thanks in advance!
