Starting out and looking for Quality Advice.

I’m looking in to becoming a real estate agent. I’ve been involved in sales for years now and I’ve had many people suggest to me that I should get involved in real estate sales. My ultimate goal is to get into real estate investment but I feel like I would really enjoy being an agent and I could learn more about the industry as well. I’m going back to college to finish my degree and I’m turn will do real estate part time. The area I go to school is very small but is surrounded by bigger towns within an hour driving. I’m looking for any suggestions on how to get started and really thrive. I don’t do anything half way and this won’t be any different. Look forward to all the great advice! Thank you!

@Jamie Cain I am not a fan of college to he honest but I understand the get a job and have security thing. You wont set up your financial future working at a 9-5. I would get your license then work under a top producer on their team for a few years and learn how they think and work. I would also start hanging around very successful people who do what you want to do at a very high level. Your real education will start there.
