Real Estate Agent & Full Time College Student?

[Jade Vaughn]

I am a full-time college student, studying Marketing, with 1.5-2 years left to go. I have been studying real estate investing for a couple months & recently closed on my first wholesale deal. I am going to continue on the wholesale route for awhile & then move on to rental properties. I plan to become a Real Estate Agent and eventually open a brokerage. 

I am contemplating on waiting until I graduate college to get my agent license or get my license now & start working as an agent while I finish school. Any experience or advice on how to approach this situation is greatly appreciated!!!

@Jade Vaughn as someone who has a masters degree, I would challenge you to think through why you are getting the marketing degree. You already closed a wholesale deal, which is probably as hard as being an agent. Get your license and get busy! College is designed to get you a job. If you want to run a business, you can learn all the same "marketing" stuff from books and podcasts. Skip the student loans and put the money into your business.
