Whole Sale or Real Estate Agent

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone!  Hope all is well.  I was just wondering if I should start my real estate career wholesaling or acting as a real estate agent.  I already have my license and a broker, but I am wondering about which one is better.  If I was to go down the real estate path,  I would want to focus on both investor and normal home buyer.  Also, just FYI, I live an in an expensive area of San Diego.

Curran, as a fellow San Diego agent,broker, and wholesaler it really depends. Do you work a full time job or will this be your sole focus? Do you want to work traditional real estate or as an agent for investors. So investor friends of mine don't have the patience it takes for the retail end. Lots of emotions. Working with investors cuts the emotions out and our more about the deal. Prove to them you know your stuff and don't waste their time unless it's a "deal" and it could be a very great relationship. I am local in the little Italy area and know La Jolla is its own animal. Nothing's going to cash flow, maybe the potential for a flip if bought correctly. Also, do you have funding?
