Hi everyone. Currently just left my sales job and now going to start RE investing. Probably start wholesaling and doing some rental buy and hold. My question is is it easier or are there many advantages to say getting my license and doing a little work as an agent and a little wholesaling along side?
I've always been interested in being an agent but the 100% commission has always stopped me quitting my job and taking the leap.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks, Alan.

What Lynn Andris said about the disclosure requirements is definitely something you need to research and understand if you intend to be both a Realtor AND investor. The model we've seen work a lot is a partnership (some times husband and wife team) where one is the investor and the other the Agent.
I will say this - the people in our programs that can both buy AND list properties are KILLING IT. Every lead you get is more valuable in that scenario. I often wonder how many investors just throw away leads of sellers who ultimately list with SOMEONE...
