Met up three times, first for the showing, next for the lease agreement and finally for the move in key release.After move in, my repeat attempts to communicate has met with no response or even acknowledgement.After a week after move in a courtesy email asking if everything went well, if there is any issue or concern that needs to be addressed, nothing.Another week gone by I sent by email electronic rent payment instructions for April 1, also no reply or acknowledgement.Another few days after that a text message was sent to ask if the emails were received, no reply.A phone call the next day went straight to voice mail, left a voice message to call me back or reply to my email/text.

With the expenses & time required to get licensing--not to mention the networking and transaction experience needed to get deals done as an agent--I'm not sure I would do it if I were attempting to accelerate a real estate investment portfolio on my own.On the other hand, if you like working a sales-type job and don't mind waiting a bit to prove your income (or get creative and partner with people), being a real estate agent can be a good way to gain knowledge and connections in real estate.
