Dentist looking to become real estate agent

[Zachary Kingsberg]

I am a 31 year old dentist in Dallas Texas. I have always been attracted to real estate and doing deals. About 4-5 years ago I took the 180 hour real estate course online to get my license but I have yet to take the test to receive a license. Now that I am 5 years into my career I have started investing (currently own 4 condos all paid cash, average purchase price about $90k). I am looking to continue to invest in SFH and eventually dive into MFH and commercial as I build up enough cash and liquidity. I am not a full time

Dentist (I own 2 offices with my wife and we have associates that work at both offices), so this will allow me the flexibility to pursue real estate. Is it possible to be a successful real estate agent while balancing another career? Do you have to do a certain amount of deals in dollars to make it worthwhile? Just looking for some advice and feedback. Thanks in advance.
