Real Estate Agent Mom and Military Wife??
Im new here :)
I'm a military spouse and mother of two. We bought our first house with the idea of renting out when is time to move again. And we plan to do that again when we move to another duty station and if it's worth it (location). Well, I've been thinking for over a year becoming a real estate agent. As a young mother of two (2 and 4) and a military wife, do you think it is possible? I understand that it is what you put into, but is it worth it?
I currently work ALL day 5 days a week. I work 9am to 8pm, no flexibility. I understand it will be about the same hours or MORE but is there any flexibility as a real estate agent?
Cons and pros?
Please I need some opinions and support :)

YES it is worth it, if you have the passion.
Yes it will be work, but sounds like you WORK everyday already.
What a great opportunity you have, you could specialize in "Military Families" and/or "Working Moms" - who better to understand their needs.
The downside will be, you will need to get a license in which ever state you end up moving too, each state may have different requirements, test etc to get licensed.
If you end up moving to California, contact me, I would be happy to help out a military family and working mom.
