Real Estate Agent That Wants To Invest

Ben Barredo
Posted

I'm a licensed real estate agent that really wants to start getting into investing but worry that there's a conflict of interest

so, as a real estate agent I come across deals everyday and my eyes for recognizing potential deals is becoming sharper with my experience. As an agent I find that I represent buyers and sellers and deals that I would love to buy myself. I also come across deals that are great for a wholesale and that's where my question really lies today

A broker that I used to work under told me once that real estate agents can't wholesale properties. So I was wondering if there are any strategies that would allow me to wholesale a home and still get paid without having to split that with my broker or List It on the MLS?

I also have a lot of great contacts in the fix and flip arena and would love to figure out ways to finance a deal. Of course a joint venture is one approach but I also have a house with a lot of equity and was wondering what your experience was with using that equity to start your fix and flip or long-term rental business?

Thanks ahead of time for any advice and good luck out there. It's a crazy Market
