22 year old Realtor... Finish undergrad now or later?

[Tyler Sample]

I am a 22 yr old realtor in San Marcos and am currently in the middle of switching realty groups... I am going back to school soon to finish my Bachelors and have a full time job. Should I even worry about real estate right now if I am so determined to finish my degree? Should I just shadow someone and gain knowledge in my spare time while I work and go to school? I do not want to put too much on my plate at once. (I will be taking 9-12 credit hours a semester for the next four semesters). I am also very interested in the idea of property management/real estate investing. Please let me know what you think!

Hi @Tyler Sample

I'm in a similar situation, I'm a realtor/investor while in school full time. This is a question only you can answer and will depend on what you want to do, there is no right answer. Your plan is a good one in my opinion. Finish school if that is what you're determined on doing, and certainly shadow an investor in the area to gain knowledge, and maybe partner on a few deals. On your spare time you could go bird dog for a local investors and hopefully get a few deals out of it. You're young and on the right path, continue to learn, grow, and network. The only suggestion I would make would be to find a local REI club and just network. Hope some of this helps.
