Real Estate Agent vs. Investor

[Drew Banyon]

Hello everyone,

I am in a situation where I am a newer licensed Ohio real estate agent (3 months) and I would also like to start down the real estate investment path. I know there are some advantages to keeping my license as I do investments (commissions and referrals) but the more I think about it, the more I want to put my license on hold and focus on real estate investments. Also if I'm not going to focus on real estate sales then it wouldn't make sense to keep paying dues and other agent fees.

I was wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and if so, what were some pro's and con's that helped you make your decision. I would appreciate any feedback!

Thanks everyone!
