What does a brand new real estate agent absolutely have to know before their first transaction?

@John Farady

I have an associates degree in Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technician which allows me to work for a utility or be a contractor servicing industrial computers that monitor and control the power grid in addition to many other things like testing transformers, circuit breakers, capacitor banks, etc. I am now about 6 months away from graduating with a BS in Global Studies from a 4 year university. I’ve had much experience with high voltage work, residential/commercial electric, drywall, painting, construction, etc. So, I have a few options regarding career. I would love to work in the electric industry full time until I can become a full time investor in both residential and commercial property.

I have been blessed enough to be able to receive grants and scholarships as well as work to pay for school with no debt at all. I will finish my degree because I will not incur any debt.

I am at an important stage in my life where I have the option to obtain my RE agent license and begin selling within the next 6 months OR get another full time job while finishing school to save capital to invest within the next 2-3 years. I am curious to know the benefits of getting my license and selling vs solely being an investor. Pros and cons of each?

Any investors/agents within/around these areas have any advice for a beginning investor looking to BRRRR properties once I've saved enough to buy with cash?
