Investor/Agent and Working Full-Time
Hey everyone,
So I'm on the path of getting my RE license and begin working as an agent while doing my research and finding deals that I can invest in on the side. Both of these paths of course require a lot of time and dedication. While doing these things, I also plan on working a full-time job since I won't be making much of a reliable income while getting started in this field. I'm only 20 so I don't have many obligations to worry about right now such as taking care of a family, so I can use all my time and money for myself. Also note that I care more about my career as an investor then my career as an agent since I don't plan on working as a salesperson my entire life.
I am curious if other people have gone into the endeavor of working as an agent and investor while working a full time job until their investments could support their lifestyle. If so, how did you manage your time? What was most difficult for you? Should I consider working part-time instead? Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
