i am starting my journey into real estate at 22 and i’m just learning as much as i can by watching a ton of youtube videos/ buying books/ reading articles: listening to blogs etc and i noticed that i am going to need capital to start my investing journey .. i was really thinking about trying to become an agent and try to save up money from doing that and soak up more knowledge so i can know more about the real estate game or should i just try to save up as much as i can from my 9 to 5.. which can become time consuming due to personal expenses i have and i want to do both so i can get started investing as quickly as possible while gain great knowledge about something i am passionate about !
