real estate investing for agents

are there any agents out there that buy real estate and can manage both? it seems like it’s a lot of work but is it manageable? and how does your realtor feel about it because i read that all the deals (agents) buy our realtor has to know about it as well. (not sure if the source was true or not)

@Maurice Graham I started as a REI before I earned my real estate license. But yes, you most certainly can do both. Being an entrepreneur is a lot of hard work and long hours if you want to be successful regardless of what field your in. I would recommend that the Realtor your working with is also a REI. They will be more patient with you and help you identify deals when they become available. But also understanding the markets they work in. For example, here in the DFW area were are in record low numbers of available inventory. I do help my clients find deals. 4 pending closings in the next 30 days. But it does take time to find the right deals and submitting a lot of offers that get rejected before you do get one that is accepted. Patience is the key in any hot market right now.
