Advice on my future in Real Estate
Hi everyone,
I am here to ask your advice on a very specific situation.
I am currently a college student that has completed 2 years of general studies, and will be entering a major next semester my current plan is to double major in business management and Real Esate. I have always been business minded and I enjoy managing / helping people succeed. I have planned for years to start as a Real Estate agent while saving and investing until I saved enough to start a Real Estate brokerage.
This plan was for a perfect world, but last year I had a car accident in which I injured my spinal cord and left me in a wheelchair. This being said I am still going to be going to college ( Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, or UNC) for business/Real Estate majors. I am guessing that given my situation it would be nearly impossible to be an agent because of my limited mobility.
Is it possible to successfully start a brokerage with no agent experience? (Obviously it's not optimal...)
Is it a good plan to go to school for business management and Real Estate? I thought this would be good because I can get the training to manage a brokerage and also get educated in both commercial and residential Real Estate.
Any other advice is more appreciated than you'll ever know!
