Buy and Hold Investor becoming real estate agent
I was looking at possibly getting my real estate lisence. I have a full time job so it would have to be part time gig. I was wondering, as a buy and hold investor, would it be a positive or a negative to my real estate business affairs? I can see it occassionally generating some income as commission, but would it negatively affect me as someone that wants to buy discounted investment properties? If a homeowner came to me with a property that they wanted to sell and I like the price, but as an Agent I must give them a Market analysis for a fair price, I can see a potential conflict. I'm sure there's a bunch of REA/Landlords that might give me some insight.
Thanks
