College Student Becoming a Real Estate Agent

[Caleb Augustyn]

Hey everyone, so I'm a college student in Phoenix, AZ and I've got a long term plan of becoming a full time real estate investor. BUT I'm planning on becoming a real estate agent FIRST - while in school - to learn that aspect of real estate, immerse myself in it, and make a few bucks.

Any tips on how to get started? Should I get my real estate license right away then look for a brokerage? Or should I find a mentor first and learn the business side of things from a professional first? What do you guys recommend?
