real estate agent turned into investor?

[Maurice Graham]

i am starting my journey into real estate at 22 and i’m just learning as much as i can by watching a ton of youtube videos/ buying books/ reading articles: listening to blogs etc and i noticed that i am going to need capital to start my investing journey .. i was really thinking about trying to become an agent and try to save up money from doing that and soak up more knowledge so i can know more about the real estate game or should i just try to save up as much as i can from my 9 to 5.. which can become time consuming due to personal expenses i have and i want to do both so i can get started investing as quickly as possible while gain great knowledge about something i am passionate about ! what should i do?

@Maurice Graham Hello Maurice. I’m also 22 and wanting to become a real estate investor. I got my real estate license recently so I can get more involved in the real estate industry, gain experience, and meet new people. I plan to use my commissions towards buying out of state rental properties. As for actionable steps to take. I keep my expenses as low as possible while trying to save as much as I can and try my hardest to increase my income. I also have a clear goal, and a definitive plan for investing. I keep my plan constantly in my head and everyday I make it a priority to take actionable steps to get me closer in achieving my goals and increasing my knowledge.
