Post: Becoming an agent as a second, part time job

Thanks all!  I plan to approach it, at least initially, as more of a hobby than a job.  I totally understand about self-employed business.  I got a taste of that in the insurance business.  I would like to know more about being a part of a real estate team @Bryan Ortins.  IS this just a group of agents that would cover for each other and split the payout?  Another question I had is what kind of things should I look for in an agency?  This may be another thread entirely.

My wife and I have been interested in the real estate business for some time now.  My question is, can I maintain my current full time job and work as an agent at night and on weekends?  My main goal is to get my feet wet in the industry and move on to investing.  Any advice?

Oh, I'm also curious what the average time it takes to close your first deal.  I've heard 3 months is pretty average.  I know it depends on several factors, but I'd like any input you could offer.

Hello all!  I'm relatively new to the real estate business, but I plan to get more involved and hopefully make this my full time career/hobby.  I've been reading the posts on this site for the last three days and can really see the value in getting involved with this community!  I don't really have any interest in flipping houses, but am leaning more towards buying up rental properties.  I look forward to hearing from those of you with experience and I am excited to expand my knowledge of the industry.

Hi Ryan.  I'm a new member, but I'm in Benton County.  I'm looking to get into the rental business.  What is the best place for me to start that will set me up for success in NWA?  Is this a good time for this market?
