Part Time Realtor in NYC?

[Jarrett Chouinard]

Hello BP community! 

I'm wondering if working part time as a real estate agent in NYC is worth the time and money. 

Just a little about me, I'm 27 and saving for my first investment property. I'm from Connecticut and plan to invest there as I know the area well and it's an easier market to break into than NYC. I work a 9-5 in media, but do have free time on nights and weekends to focus on a second stream of income. If I enjoy the work and do OK I'm open to shifting into working as an agent full time. Thanks in advance for your help!
