Hello everyone,

I am in a situation where I am a newer licensed Ohio real estate agent (3 months) and I would also like to start down the real estate investment path. I know there are some advantages to keeping my license as I do investments (commissions and referrals) but the more I think about it, the more I want to put my license on hold and focus on real estate investments. Also if I'm not going to focus on real estate sales then it wouldn't make sense to keep paying dues and other agent fees.

I was wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and if so, what were some pro's and con's that helped you make your decision. I would appreciate any feedback!

Thanks everyone!

Hello Everyone! My name is Drew Banyon and I'm a new member to BiggerPockets. I've been listening to the podcasts and now I'm diving into the blogs. I'm native to Youngstown, OH and moved to Cleveland out of college and fell in love with the city. I actually have my real estate license, but I really became interested in real estate investments during my classes. It's clear to me that this is the path I want to take going forward and not sales. I will also be balancing this with a full-time sales job. 

I'm excited to meet everyone, learn, and contribute in the forums. Going forward I would really like to focus on learning as much as I can while meeting like-minded individuals along the way.

Thank you
