18 Year Old Real Estate Agent

[Conner Schmitt]

Hello! I am 18 years oId and I just passed my Real Estate course exam and I take the state exam in June. Once I pass that I will be a licensed agent in the state of New York. What are some things I should know when choosing a brokerage and connecting with different people to become a successful agent. My ultimate goal is to invest in rental properties, multifamilies, fix & flips, and anything else that I can get into. I don't want to be an agent for a long time, I'm getting my license as just another tool in my bag and learn the ropes and connect with people that can help me along my journey. What do you guys think of this? What are some things I can do in the early stages of my investing journey since I'm only 18 and have a lot to learn. 

Thanks,

Conner

I got licensed at 18 so was in the same boat. I focused on learning about investing and slowly making connections. That was through YT, podcast, books, networking, etc. I studied the areas and learned the hot spots. This helped when I would connect with investors, I could be their boots on the ground. I also made connections with vendors to have go to people for a variety of needs. There is so much to learn but focus on meeting new clients and building knowledge. As your business grows you can look at investing yourself. Also make sure to keep living costs low and save for those taxes ;)
