Considering Becoming a Part-Time Agent in NJ

[Jonathan S.]

I know this has been beat a bunch around here but I just wanted to hear some thoughts as it applies to my situation. I'm currently a full-time mechanical engineer, but I work from home and set my own schedule. I have no issue working late nights and long hours. I think becoming an agent might be beneficial to making progress towards being an investor. I'd also like to take this opportunity to connect with agents local to bergen county new jersey, who may have some advice or may want to work together in the future if I take the plunge.

@Jonathan S. I think it can be beneficial if you can dedicate the time to it, and not do it just to have access to the MLS. If you have the time, you can make a few dollars on the side while learning a tremendous amount. Just remember that most real estate agents are clueless to real estate investing. They themselves don't do it. They just sell homes. So keep focused.
