Real Estate License
Hi guys, I’m really interested in getting my real estate license and becoming an agent. The problem is I’m only 17, so I would be starting around 19 years old. I’ve researched a lot and I keep hearing people say that being young in real estate makes it very hard to succeed, due to lack of experience . And I was just seeing if I could get any advice on whether I should pursue my interest in real estate now or not.

@Saj Shah I only said until 19 because I thought it might be a better age. But after all of the positive replies saying to do it now, I definitely don’t want to wait! Thank you for replying! I truly appreciate it.
