Real Estate Agent Questions

[Adonis Yancey]

I became a Real Estate Agent 7 months ago to help me along my Real Estate Investing journey but I find that being a Real Estate Agent is not a passion of mine. I'm passionate about becoming a Real Estate Investor. I've been learning a lot that could help me as an investor but I'm not really interested in helping others buy and sell. Any ideas on how I can be an investor but still have the benefits of being an agent such as my own access to the MLS? Also I'm wondering if I leave the brokerage would that hinder me from being able to purchase deals through the MLS and getting commission for it for being the buyer who is representing myself? Or purchasing deals through the MLS by myself in general?
