COVID-19, Becoming a New R.E. Agent in NYC. Good or Bad Idea?
Background:
currently living in Philadelphia and contemplating moving back to NYC after a 9 year hiatus from NY (minus the occasion visits). Currently working as an engineer in a stable job. I'm looking to move back to NYC for the family and to become a real estate agent.
I am wondering if approximately 3 months from now, if it would be a wise decision to become a real estate agent given the COVID-19 circumstance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Hong Yang

@Hong Y.
What is the purpose of becoming an agent?
An engineer is a respectable position that should hopefully have a nice compensation. I would focus your attention on that profession, make your money and then invest in real estate.
I guess its a totally different discussion if you hate the profession and want to get out.
