Thank you @Charlie Cameron and @Amy Verges for your time.

Your insight has been very helpful. The earning potential of a real estate agent is very attractive. But what inspired me to start looking into the idea in the first place is that it would be the start of me "minding my own business" (Rich Dad Poor Dad) in a way. I've learned a ton just over this weekend and so far I love the idea of being an agent. Lead generation will be tough but it doesn't scare me. I've hit this tipping point where I am more scared of not trying than failing. 

I hope to see you around, @Amy Verges. I will most definitely be joining our local REIA whenever they open things back up.

@Dawn Brenengen

That sounds like a great idea. Thank y'all for the advice.

@Lee Ripma

Thank you for your time and the quick response.

My goal is to build a rental property portfolio with strong enough cashflow to live on in ten years or less. Even if I can live on it, that doesn't mean I'll quit whatever job I have. I would like to help others with their homes or investments too while still building up my own. So looking into becoming a RE agent made sense to me. It would give me extra money to pour into my business and build up my assets while giving me a great position to build a network.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on any forum ever so here it goes.

I'm new to the world of RE. I've recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Book on Rental Property Investing (In progress. About 1/3 in). These books have flipped a switch in my head as well as sparked a mild anxiety attack I've identified as the mysterious "hunger" I've heard do much about.

I realize now my current job isn't enough to kickstart my portfolio to achieve my goals. I'm comfortable but thats about it.

So here is where I'm at in my head (feel free to educate me):

Pros

-Becoming a RE agent would put me smack in the middle of the world of RE

-Income is based on my abilty to hustle. (Hunger is not a problem.)

Cons

-Income will not neccesarily be immediate. I have to close a deal first. (This is why I say part time. After the first close or two I would ideally switch to full time)

I work nights at the moment leaving 9 am to 3pm open for me. So my question to this fine forum is this: Is becoming a part-time RE agent possible? I don't know much about being a RE agent but I have no shortage of books and patience.

Thank you,

Daniel of Baton Rouge
