Can you be a part time agent to start out?

[Raj Tirur]

Hi all!

My fiance currently holds a 9-5 job but after seeing my passion for real estate, it is starting to spill over to her as well.  She is interested in becoming a licensed agent, but does not want to jump in with both feet yet, and wants to see if this is something she is good at, while holding her job.  If that means only going after rentals to start out and learn the industry, then she is willing.

I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to investing, but I am not an agent, nor do I hold my license, so I cannot give her great advice.  I think it can be done, but I'd love to hear success (or failed) stories so we can plan better.

Thanks!
