Becoming RE Agent an advantage for investing?

[Kenny Oliver]

Hello everyone,

I have some experience with live and flips. My first home was purchased cash at 230k and put in 40k worth of renovations and I sold it a couple years later for 440k. Through which I bought another home the one I currently live in with a conventional loan at 213k with 30k worth of renovations. I ended up paying off the loan. And I still have some money left.

The thing is I’m scared to pull the trigger now when it comes to investing again. Both homes were found on Redfin but I want to purchase cheaper priced homes than what are advertised on there.

Real estate to me seems very fun and interesting and something I feel like i can survive doing. I love learning and can spend hours educating myself on the subject.

But when it comes on taking action on what I’ve learned I feel a bit intimated.

So I feel that becoming an agent would help me take action on the investing side of things by learning more hands on and gaining experience in making deals and everything that comes along with being an agent.

What do you guys think? Has becoming an agent helped you take action and gain an advantage towards your investments?

Thank you
