I am really interested in getting involved in real estate, and wanted to become a licensed agent. My only problem is I’m worried how this might affect me in the future if I want to start investing? If I become an agent does it hinder my ability to invest? If I eventually plan to become an investor (once I have money) should I all together forget being an agent? It just seems if I was an agent I would be able to cut out the middleman costs and just do it myself. Any advice would get would be great !

Well as an agent you could sale homes make $ and also be one of the first to see nice investor type/TLC homes that come on the market and buy them and save money because you would also make commission off of the sale because you are a licensed realtor.

I can't see how being an agent could possibly hurt you as an investor. As slidell said, it looks like it would help you.
