Getting a real estate license as a college student
I was wondering how time consuming it would be to get a decent amount of business as a real estate agent after getting a license. I am an engineering student going into my second year, which can be time consuming at times, and am wondering how difficult it would be to balance a real estate company with my courses. I ultimately want to get into real estate investing and want to gains some experience in the industry before I begin looking for deals. So basically, how much time should I plan on spending on the marketing/networking/online advertising in order to have a decent amount of business coming in?
Thanks for the help!
