Real estate agent versus wholesaling in Cali: Pros and Cons

[Cody Evans]

Hi BP,

Im back with a strategy adjustment. I am going to dedicate my next 3-4 months for wholesaling but I have had some vets tell me it may not work in my market but I could become a good agent for 6 figures as well. Can you describe a day in the life of an agent and maybe list some pros and cons to both? How long will it take to break into the agent game if I hustle?

@Cody Evans one of the biggest pros to being a realtor is that you can still wholesale! Wholesalers, however, cannot list property on MLS. I am always curious why people start by wholesaling, which is probably one of the hardest businesses to get into when they could start as an agent. I have closed almost 20 transactions this year here in the Chicago west suburbs, and I am only just now entering my third year as a realtor. Being an investor friendly realtor actually makes growing your business easier, as there are so few agents focused on investing. If you work hard, and work smart, you can definitely do well as a realtor.
