@Kevyn Otero Welcome to the community. You sound a lot like I did, as I was in a rush to get into the family business of real estate. I left college early to pursue a career in real estate. When the market crashed in 2007, I went back and finished out my last year, and I now use that degree. I am not suggesting anything other than getting your degree may not be a bad idea. You may be able to acquire knowledge and skills that can really help you later in real estate. I am glad I was able to have something to fall back on, because I realize that not everyone has the opportunity to go to college. Just something to think about... Good luck with whatever you decide. You will have support from the website with whichever path you choose.
