Investing as Realtor
As an aspiring real estate investor, I was curious about something. I'm Realtor (only since June of this year), and I was wondering how that could potentially affect my investing business both positively and negatively?
The first thing that comes to mind in terms of a positive aspect, would be my access to my local MLS. I imagine that gives me a great advantage among my piers. Not to mention, I have build somewhat of a rapport with: other Realtors, other investors, mortgage professionals, title companies, and most of all past clients.
When I think of would could be consider a negative aspect, would be things related to disclosure, and conflicts of interest with my brokerage (I am currently with Long & Foster). I could be over thinking this though.
I would to get some feedback on this, by some fellow investors, who also have their real estate licenses. In my opinion (and again I'm just getting started), I have to believe the positives far outweigh the negatives.
