WWYD- opinions

[James Cheatham]

What would you do? I am separating from active duty military soon and will be attending full time college. I am attracted to becoming an agent because I like the idea of one day being able to manage a real estate team and somewhat automate/outsource the work to free up time and hopefully move into other endeavors. I will be utilizing my GI bill for college which pays me a living allowance of 1500/month that could help pay the bills. I had the idea of picking up my license and working under some sort of mentor program while still attending school. Do you think this is a possibility? Or will the realtor work chew to much of my time up while being in school.

My other idea is to get move into the property management realm. I could start as a leasing agent part or full time while in school. This would teach me the basics of selling and would position me to move into property management after college is complete. Once again I like the idea of automating/contracting opportunities later on. I also have noticed that from all the rei books I have read a good property management company is hard to find. This indicates to me that there is a chance to pick up big business when I learn the ins and outs.

Thank you for your time and help.
