Starting a new career in RE, ADVICE?

[Brandy Stewart]

Hello, I'm Brandy! My long term goal is to be an investor, but as a beginner, I'd really like to start a new career in the RE world at least. (I'm currently working in healthcare.) I would like to still make an annual income from a ''9-5'' as I begin investing, so I can have more funds to utilize. I know there are several career options in this field. Where I'm located, in East Texas, there are a lot of real estate agents and realtors. I've been researching becoming a residential appraiser, but I wanted to ask y'all's opinions/advice on this job choice. Is it worth it? Why or why not? If it isn't really necessary, do you have any other recommendations on where I can start? Should I consider becoming a real estate agent, or just focus my free time on real estate investing? Thank you so much advance!
