Part Time Real Estate Agent

Hi Guys, 

I currently have a great sales job that I love and make good money at it.  The problem is that I have a very long commute (often over an hour) and I don't find the sales grind a long-term, sustainable option.  Along with starting to invest in real estate, I have been playing with the idea of getting a real estate license and working part time in real estate while I grow the business. 

What are your thoughts on this? What challenges will I face? 

I appreciate your input!

The problem I see is that you don't like your current sales job.  If you don't like that why would you like real estate sales, which may be harder starting out because you won't have an established clientele.
