Advice on getting started
A little bit about me real quick.
I am currently in the Air Force, and have been given the opportunity to retire early because of budget cuts. My goal is to be a agent, and get more involved into investing into properties. I currently have a rented mobile home, and plan on staying with mobile homes on private land. I am working on my second one now.
I am nervous about starting a new career, I am most worried about making money. But the Pro's of getting out of the military, far outweigh the Con's. So I am jumping in feet first.
I plan on taking a 60 hour course that teaches the South Carolina test and also fulfill's the 60 hours required as well.
I know being a agent is hard job, I can handle stressfull/hard jobs. I do that everyday. I just need some encouragement I guess.
I hear some people say, that I should start out as an agent part time, because it's not going to make me any money at first, but a big part of me disagree's, I feel if I am agressive enough I can make it happen. Thoughts?

Hey man, just DO IT. The most successful investors I know are also agents or brokers.
