Prospecting the idea of becoming a part-time RE agent.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on any forum ever so here it goes.
I'm new to the world of RE. I've recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Book on Rental Property Investing (In progress. About 1/3 in). These books have flipped a switch in my head as well as sparked a mild anxiety attack I've identified as the mysterious "hunger" I've heard do much about.
I realize now my current job isn't enough to kickstart my portfolio to achieve my goals. I'm comfortable but thats about it.
So here is where I'm at in my head (feel free to educate me):
Pros
-Becoming a RE agent would put me smack in the middle of the world of RE
-Income is based on my abilty to hustle. (Hunger is not a problem.)
Cons
-Income will not neccesarily be immediate. I have to close a deal first. (This is why I say part time. After the first close or two I would ideally switch to full time)
I work nights at the moment leaving 9 am to 3pm open for me. So my question to this fine forum is this: Is becoming a part-time RE agent possible? I don't know much about being a RE agent but I have no shortage of books and patience.
Thank you,
