Wholesaler VS Realtor

[Taylor Dove]

Hello BP, I've been committed to real estate and creating my wholesale company for well over a year now. I have got my website ranked in top of google (doesn't mean much), I've created connections and networked within my local market (Tallahassee FL) attracting both cash buyers and motivated sellers. I have come really close to closing on a couple of deals, just to have them fall apart last minute. 

My question for you all is, should I continue on the wholesaling path or just get my realtor license and sell houses & create connections that way? Im good at selling and with people skills but I don't like the stereotype that comes with wholesaling. I feel like I could really succeed at being a realtor but I don't want to just quit on wholesaling when I have invested so much time and resources to it.

Thoughts?

@Taylor Dove Hey man just wanted to say good job on having the courage to do that and start your own business. Many people don't even get that far. You are now facing adversity which everyone does and this is what makes or breaks people in the beginning. I would first try and find and network with other wholesalers and see if you can find a mentor or friend to guide you or show you where you are going wrong. Two brains is always better than one and it is really helpful to always have someone to go to for advice or help. I personally don't really think being an agent is that beneficial, but that's just my opinion. Both being a realtor and being a wholesaler are much harder than most people think and most that start or think of doing it don't actually make it. Stay strong and surround yourself with people that help motivate, push and guide you my friend! Good luck and whatever you do man don't give up.
