Post: Starting as a broker part-time?

Thanks for everyone who commented! I ended up starting part-time as a broker, while working my other remote full-time role. I had some deals and saw a path that I could make the jump full-time. With some help from my principal broker, helping me fill my funnel and bringing me in on his business to help put my valuation experience to use, I switched to full-time not long after! With a few months in - I love it!

Thanks for the reply @Adam Bartling. Essentially, you're saying it can be done if you are just looking to do a few loans a month, but in order to grow and do more volume it would be a full time commitment?

I wasn't expecting to start doing a large volume of loans but thought if i could do a few a month while working i could eventually switch to lending full time.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi everyone,

I am an active investor and as my day job I currently work in commercial real estate valuation. I have been looking into other sources of income and thought of getting my mortgage brokers license.

I am well connected in my market and am still relatively young at 24 with lots of friends and peers that will be looking to purchase their first homes soon. I work remotely, always have my phone handy, and love the number side of real estate so I think this would be a great fit for me and something that I could see myself doing long-term.

The only downside I see is that I work 8-4 so couldn't spend that time in an office with other brokers or doing real work for clients, I would be working after my day job. I'm completely fine with this but I'm wondering if it would be difficult to find a brokerage and if its feasible to start and eventually grow into a full-time career. 

Any thoughts and tips would be extremely appreciated!

Hello there! I'm currently looking to BRRRR a small multifamily property in Nova Scotia, Canada. Specifically, I was looking in a few specific markets outside of HRM (Amherst, Kentville, Windsor, Truro).

I am located in Halifax so I am looking to connect with people that work out of, or invest in those areas. Please feel free to reach out.

Thanks!

I am looking for contractors in the Halifax area. My business partner and I have been actively analyzing deals/making offers, and will likely need to hire a contractor this spring.
