I'm looking to get a job in real estate in order to springboard myself to becoming a full-time investor within the next 2-3 years. I have a college degree and a small amount of savings. My plan is to begin building capital by working a 9-5 plus flipping single family homes in my spare time. I eventually want to invest in large apartment buildings.
My logic is that if I have to get a 9-5, I might as well be in a position to learn about the industry I want to create a company in. I'm currently considering a job as a Commercial Real Estate Agent, Residential Real Estate Agent and/or a Mortgage Broker and would love some feedback from people who have done something similar. I'm meeting with a Commercial Real Estate Broker on Wednesday and I'm guessing he is going to try to recruit me. I just don't want to get half of the story with all of the glitz and glam.
