@Tyreon Brown I would recommend that you immediately jump into the schooling required to become a realtor. Which state are you in? In Illinois, you can do this completely on-line so your schedule would not end up being an issue. Once you get the schooling out of the way, then you have the opportunity to get started in the business. Since you are going to need immediate income, it probably will make sense for you to join a team or a brokerage that pays a salary up front so you can learn the business.
