Should I invest in a property before becoming an investor friendly agent?

[Luca Perinuzzi]

I am currently studying to be an investor friendly agent in NY, and currently do not have any investments. I'm aware that investors vet out their agents by working exclusively with agents that invest. Would it be the right move to invest in a property before I take my exam and get sponsored in order to be more prepared for the field?

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated, Thanks!
