New Investor to Las Vegas
Hello BiggerPocket community!
I'm new to the world of real estate and investing in general and have finally found the courage to stop lurking and introduce myself to this incredibly helpful community. I have yet to make an actual purchase due to my recent relocation to Las Vegas, Nevada from Orange County, California. Couple that with a lack of capital, I've decided to pursue a RE Saleperson (Agent outside of Nevada) license to gain a working knowledge of my market and laws in the meanwhile. I'm eager to learn and connect with other like-minded individual, especially those who are familiar with the Las Vegas market.
I'd like an opinion from all investors out there on my pursuing a part-time career as a RE Agent. I've read many posts about how an investor should not (or it is not in an investor's interest) to work with a part-time agent since they're not as devoted to the job as a full-timer may be. I'm hoping to be specialized in representing the interest of the Buyer's with emphasis on investment property. Would that focus be an asset or a hindrance in starting out as a Real Estate Agent?
