Career Plan Type Question

[Michelle Elsaid]

Hi everyone,

I am very interested in real estate and currently saving for my first "househack." I already do a lot of self study, but in order to speed up my savings, increase my knowledge, create new opportunities, and get started in the industry altogether, I'm thinking about getting my RE license.

I currently live in an apartment in downtown Orlando, FL. This could be a good opportunity for me to become a realtor for those searching for downtown apartments (rentals) and condos.  I do work full-time, but this could conveniently become a weekend and night opportunity, my employer has very flexible work hours if needed..

It is also worth mentioning that a long-term goal, besides investing, would be to open my own mortgage brokering or property management company. Both of these require years in the industry.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this plan and any ideas for getting started.
