Would a career as a Real Estate Agent be helpful ?

[Robert Boyer]

I graduated college last May, although I am 32 ( I spent some time ion the Army) and I am looking to get into real estate investment with some friends from Business School. I haven't established a career yet, but I am really good at sales.

I was thinking about doing real estate while I worked on my investing.

Would I have an advantage if I worked as a real estate agent while trying to purchase investment properties ? 

I am currently in Houston, Tx, but want to move back to Denver, Co around May of next year. Not sure If I should start real estate now or wait till I get back.

Currently selling theatre tickets.

Anyways, that's my life story.

Any advice ?
