Quit my job to become a real estate agent?
Hi All!
I've posted about getting my real estate license, and now that I'm taking the plunge I've spoken with an agent and a few friends. My question is if it's worth it to simply leave my 9-5 and jump into real estate sales full-time.
I probably have 2 mos living expenses saved up, so I would need to be productive right away. However, with what I want to do with real estate (replace my income, build a real business, become an investor), I feel it's nearly impossible to do it on a part-time basis.
What should I do? Take the plunge (pulling 70 hrs a week starting from the ground up hussling) or should I keep my comfortable job and be patient for the real estate side to pick up slowly overtime as I transition.
I want to say thanks in advance for your responses!
