Working Full Time Job & Starting as an Agent

[Bill Mitchell]

Hey everyone,

A good family friend of mine graduated from college not to long ago and has a full time job he does during the day. He has a wife to take care of, and as such can't just abandon his full time job expecting to make it on commissions alone (especially as a new agent).

Is it possible to work on the side part-time as an agent when you are working a full time job? Have any of you done this personally or know someone that has? His goal would be to transition from the 9-5 to doing real estate full time as an agent.

Then from there get in the investment side of things. Thanks for your feedback everyone.

Just as an aside there is a video here by RE/MAX where they clearly think being an agent part time is a terrible idea.
