Become a Landlord and realtor?

[Dennis Standers]

Hi everyone, What is entailed in becoming a realtor? Is this a good idea for someone wanting to invest in rental real estate? What happens after I pass all the tests? Can I sell real estate part time or is it worth while to do it full time. How do you get paid? Is it straight commission or is there a steady paycheck starting out? How much does it cost to become a realtor? Should I just stay in my own profession and leave the realtor to the professionals and hope I find a good one? Any in site will be appreciated thanks.
