Investors as RE agents

[Rickey Wallace]

As I've been watching podcasts n reading topic posts, one thing that has crossed my mind: how come people aren't wanting to quit their jobs to become RE agents or brokers while becoming a full time investor? On paper, it sounds like a logical fit to put the 2 together. Both require constant monitoring of the real estate markets for upcoming RE trends to combat with. Both have u marketing n searching for new RE clients to do business with. Both require similar pools of possible the SAME networked ppl to amass more transactions from. I'm at a loss...kind of lol

I am an investor and a real estate agent. The skills though for each are completely different skill sets. While I am successful at both, most of the people I know that are one or the other, would not be successful in the other profession.
