Real Estate License
Hi everyone, I am considering getting my real estate license in Texas and am wanting to get more involved in the market. The only hiccup I have found from talking to other agents and investors is that as a full time firefighter, it may be difficult or improbable that I could be a successful agent being gone for 24 hours at a time. Any suggestions?

Hey there - Texas is an awesome market to be in right now ! ( I just moved to SC from living in Dallas for 20+ years )
I definitely know a lot of fire fighters that run whole other businesses on their off days - so I think you can do it especially if your interested in making it happen - its going to be pretty intense though if you want to build up your real estate business - you just need to really leverage your relationships you have already built in your community - which I would think would be easy as a firefighter. Make it a part of your brand ! I just got my license too - good luck ! what part of Texas?
