I am now a newly licensed broker with a goal of making real estate a full time profession.

Yes there are some shady wholesalers out there just like there are dishonest people in any field or profession.

I'm in accounting and finance by profession, so it's all about analyzing numbers, forecasting, and actual.

Or are you just mad that someone is standing up and declaring a very common problem among people in your profession?

I've been an RN for 11 yrs and would consider myself half-burnt-out on the profession.

There is a lot of hard work, disapline and studying that can propel you into a great future.What minimizes the risk of losing it all is to continue building up your current profession until your Real Estate Investments make you financially free.

I have seen realtors say that they don’t trust those sites and to me, they see it as a clear threat to their profession and to the holy realtor.com website.

Hello allI want to get into house flipping.I am a plumber by trade and city water distribution operator by profession.

I'm a Senior Project Manager for a local architectural firm and have been in the profession for the last 17 years. 

In this case, the chicken came first.And you're right about how a good full time agent will eat your lunch, but hopefully within the bounds of ethics and good taste.As a full time (and then some) agent, I'll remind sellers that most part timers tend to treat this profession as a hobby, hoping that while they hold down another full time job, that they'll trip over a couple of deals each year.
