Becoming a loan officer?? Just a thought I'm looking into

[Travis L.]

I've started down this rabbit hole, looking into becoming a loan officer.  Found lots of different ideas of how this job looks just not sure what is realistic.  Was listening to a podcast that suggested it and liked the idea and sounds like it could be a good fit.  I have a few rentals and enjoy the real estate, like dealing with numbers and am finding I have a decent knowledge of how credit works.

What I really want to know is this something that can be done in tandem with my normal income source?  I tend to have a good amount of down time(but always "on"), which is mostly spent looking for real estate.  Even when I'm busy I can always make time for emails phone calls etc.  I could easily put 40+hrs a week in just not 9-5 everyday.
