I am in the process of getting my real estate license and plan to have the real estate agent component provide me with income for living expenses while complementing that with real estate investing to build passive income and long-term wealth.I am developing my initial investment strategy around multifamily (2-4 unit) properties to rehab/rent/refinance.
