Any Ex-Realtors?

[N/A N/A]

I would like to know if there are any investors out there who are former Realtors.

I am currently a licensed Realtor, but am considering not renewing my license this January. I do not like being a real estate agent, but I do love RE investing.

I have had my license 4 yrs, know a lot of agents, & feel I would be very well connected in regards to finding new investment properties. I don't do much in the way of flipping, I am more in the market for rentals.

Yes, I have thought of keeping my license for myself, but it would cost me several thousand a year to maintain.

Would love to hear from someone who has been in this position.
