Advice On Becoming Part Time Agent

[Stephen Roesler]

Hey everyone,

I know this question has been asked over the years but I wanted to get a fresh perspective. I have been researching as much as I can about getting my license in MA. I currently work a 8-4 job on the credit side of CRE, so I would be using this around my day job. I have a passion for all aspects of real estate and have always wanted to try being an agent.

The goal is to see how I do in an entrepreneurial atmosphere, specifically real estate as well as bring in additional income. I think I would like to start with rentals to get some transactions done efficiently. I have read all about part time not being feasible but would love some input from those who have gone this route or anyone in general in the field - what worked, what didn't work, etc.

If anyone has any other thoughts real estate work I could do around my day job, I would love to hear.

@James Murphey I fully intend to invest as soon as I am in a position to financially. I am north of Boston so it is a very hot market and prices are challenging as a new investor. I agree the knowledge would be very helpful, specifically because my investment strategy at the moment will be in multi family.

Do you currently work as an agent? Any input on doing it outside of my day job?
