Hey Brandon, they aren’t any different at all. I just find it interesting connecting with people who share both of my careers. I know a lot of pharmacists and I know a good number of investors. I know very few people who are both.

Hi BP! I'm a full-time pharmacist, part-time real estate agent and investor from Cleveland, Ohio. I write a blog about real estate investing as a pharmacist and I want to tell more stories from our little niche. If you're interested in sharing your story and inspiring another wave of pharmacist investors, please let me know. You can write a few thoughts on this forum discussion, drop me a message, or send me an entire article you've written - I'll take the good, the bad, and the weird! Thanks, everyone!

Hey Jake, Welcome to BP! I'm a full-time pharmacist, part-time real estate agent, and investor. I actually run a blog for pharmacists interested in real estate and real estate investing. I'll see you a connection to see if there is anything I can help you with. Good luck! 

Thanks Leon, and congrats on starting your journey into real estate investing! Let me know if you need help with your property search and I should definitely work on getting some local meetups going! 

Likewise @Jimmy Le! Would love to connect and compare notes on how to manage two careers. Just wrapped up two deals for buyers that closed the same week as a major presentation at my day job. Talk about exhausting! 

Hey @Matthew K. Things are going really well, Thanks! I'm not allowed to link my site but send me a private message and I'd be happy to share what we are up to. I've even had a few BP members write guest posts which is always welcome. Love hearing from other REI Pharmacists!

Hey @Christopher Plummer Welcome to BP! There are actually a lot of us pharmacist/investors combos floating around! Good that you are starting early. I'll be sure to connect so we can discuss further

Hey @Zach Dorworth,  welcome to BP! 

Good on you for you going hard after those loans, they are certainly a killer. My wife and I are still struggling with a few of our own. 

Be sure to check out the blog and let me know if I can ever lend a hand! 

@Michael Guzik Its definitely important to find a balance. I've found that the contacts and experience I get from working as an agent compliment my REI activity tremendously. Not to mention the referrals I can push around. There is no better example of making money on someone else's time then sending a good lead to a fellow agent. They get a nice commission for putting in some hard work, and I get a cut for being the man with connections.

Hey @Leslee Wilson!

A lot does change in a year! I ended up interviewing with I think 5 different brokerages and definitely found one that I just "fit" with. I would recommend creating a list of what you need out of a broker and then ask questions that help you find that fit. For example, I didn't want to be forced onto a team, I needed some training and guidance but nothing mandatory, low fees, and someone that supported my REI activity. I think once you identify your must haves, the questions flow from there and it just becomes a conversation. Let me know if you need any specific help and good luck with your real estate classes!
