@Jim K. Yeah that makes sense. Didnt figure it would be ideal or even really practical. No time to follow through and meet with clients and all else that goes with keeping and putting your name out there and getting the experience. Still, perhaps handy to be licensed on paper just for sake of easier market analysis and whatever else I may need the MLS for.

@Chinmay J. I cant say I can think of anyone who I would consider reliable as the only people I associate with is family, and my family is known to be fairly fickle and poor minded. I am just recently deciding to change my life and lifestyle and enjoy the abundance I'm starting to see in the world. Best I can hope for is give my most trustworthy sibling power of attorney as a backup for major issues, and leave the rest to property management. I think rental properties will definitely be the way I go, by one way or another. Thank you everyone for your input.

Hustle on friends.

I am considering becoming an agent primarily for accessing MLS and a bit of experience and networking. I dont particularly wish to quit my current occupation (I'm a Merchant Mariner, so I'm gone most of the time anyways), so I'm wondering if it is possible to work as an agent strictly in the couple weeks every other month that I'm home, or at least to keep my license and the benefits of it if I am not actively acting as an agent?

I am currently exploring options to begin my investor career. I work 12 hours a day on a vessel for a month at a time, with two weeks in between trips. I want to try my hand at wholesaling but dont always have signal on my phone or computer. I am also considering saving for a bit and buying wholesale properties and rehabbing for a cash flowing long term hold investment. I have an excellent contractor in my family for bidding and possibly execution. Any thoughts? Again my schedule is 28 days away, 14 days home.
