Is it common practice to become an agent only to invest

[Irvin W Blouin Jr]

Hello everyone,  I'm starting my real estate journey,  and my question is. Is it cost efficient and productive to be your own agent or have a real estate agent in investing in properties?

Its common that people get their license.

It is uncommon that they actually renew it. 

87% of people who get a license do not actually renew it. 

What that tells me is everyone thinks its a good idea, then they dont actually use it enough to justify the costs.
