I've found that my passion is time freedom, not real estate.

If I were in your position, I'd prioritize pursuing my passion while managing a modest portfolio of rental properties in a way that doesn't overly demand my time but still contributes to portfolio growth.

Start asking questions and learn...that will help you  find your passion and niche....

Mike,Being an agent could be a Realtor could be great for you, just depends on if real estate and sales is your passion.

Follow your passion is!

RE has always been somewhat of a passion for me. 

im a contractor, carpenter and welder by trade. ive been working on distressed homes and commercial properties for about 15 years. worked my way from garbage laborer to superintendent on multiple 60-80 unit buildings in albany anf surrpunding cities for a real estate company. ive been on my own for thr last 3 years working as a GC for other investors on fix and flips and im ready to complete some deals on my own with my skills and experience.i have a family home that i grew up in and its been in rough and distressed condition since i can remember. i am going to take on the renovations and get it up to snuff and will need a ton of work. im ready and able and aware or what it will take and im ready to go. i dont have many mentors so most of this is on me with my own youtubing and bigger pockets knowledge, other than that its gonna be help from friends and family. looking for advice on the project and i can give more details, this is my first time posting or discussing about it. any advice, opinions, info from some seasoned veterans would be extremely beneficial. either way looking forward to putting my passion and confidence in a family home thats been abandoned since ive lived there when i moved out at 17. prob will make some mistakes but im ready to learn lessons and gain wisdom through my first one on my own and keep it going as long as i can with other distressed properties in the area and beyond

Real estate is a passion of mine, and I'm working get my real estate license to eventually make the transition into real estate full time as an agent, property manager and full time investor. 

The ones that did have a deep passion for brick & mortar and everything that comes with it. 

Keep growing that passion and get started soon.
