Part-time Real Estate Agent

[Sid Siddig]

Hello, I am new to RE investing and Bigger Pockets.

Currently I am a senior at Howard University School of Architecture in DC. I will graduate in May 2017 and my career goal is to become a residential developer of both single-family and multi-family.

I am looking at how I can raise capital for my first deal(s). I intend to work full-time after graduation but I am also considering working as a real estate agent on nights and weekends.

My question is about working hours. Can I successfully work nights and weekends as an agent? I'm looking to at least raise the down payment for an FHA backed duplex from working as a part-time real estate agent. Thoughts?

Thanks!
