Hello @Sabah Shah,A little background: In 2004, I lived in NYC and decided to change professions and create a real estate investor services business based on data science and processes.

Two different professions in a way.

Should I just stay in my own profession and leave the realtor to the professionals and hope I find a good one?

Hey Angelina, I do not have wholesaling experience, I have been gaining knowledge on the profession for some time now and I know it is time to get started.

We must live in 2 very different universes because here, everyone of non-professional profession seems to pander from tips, and many are 6 figure + jobs.

I've directed my life towards becoming a real estate investor and to dedicate the next 4 years to busy season and going to a profession I hate based on fear ( what if I fail at real estate investing better get my CPA ) would be a mistake.

I would also judge based on whether they could get a job in your area based on profession and your economy.

I joined this forum to get some insight and to network with people in a similar profession.
