HI BP Family,

I'm new to BP and real estate investing. I only recently began studying, looking for local meetups and such to further my education.

As a beginner, do you think it's wise to take a job as a real estate agent?

Is it worth the cost of going through the training and getting licensed? (I know you don't have to be licensed to invest in real state)

The thought about starting out as  a real estate agent sounds appealing to me but I would like advice from the more seasoned investors out there.

Thanks
CR

@Rene Martinez that is true either way you look at it. I don't think either or would be any better, it's a matter of strategy and what works at the moment.

@Mark Brogan I guess my question was based out of fear because as a wholesaler that would seem to be my biggest hurdle. What if I don't sell a property? Long term, when I get more involved, working real estate full time and I have the capital to hold a property I'm all game. However, my financial situation right won't allow me to take a chance on not selling a property and have to end up making those payments until I get it rented. 

@Samantha LottiThanks for that little tidbit. I looked up local meetings in my area and will be attending a couple over the next several months

I've only been in BP 4 days, browsing the forum soaking up what I can. My investment strategy starting out will be wholesaling. Would it be wise to build relationships with buyers before you go out looking for property? I feel if you know what cash buyers are looking for, you can better target your marketing. Ultimately, you can be great at finding deals but if you have no cash buyers, it's pointless.
