Should I become a broker?

Hello BP Community,

So, I am new to investing and the advice I keep hearing is that becoming a Realtor is the way to go in order to lower overhead and squeeze profits out of a deal.


What about taking it a step further and becoming a broker? I'm eligible to become a broker in MD because of my law degree. I had my RE license years ago in college, but I never used it.

Thoughts?

My goal was to eventually build the FIRE/PIRE model, and I would love to eventually have a few Realtors working for me, doing their own deals, and taking a piece of the pie.
