I have been both a real estate investor and real estate agent for over 15 years. Being an agent gives me a huge advantage when buying flips or rental properties. Many people say being an agent and investor is actually a bad idea. There are some cons to being an agent/investor, but I think the pros are far greater. In this episode of the InvestFourMore podcast, I explain how beneficial being an agent and investor has been for me. I also talk about the cons of being an agent and investor, and I discuss when investors should become agents. I know there is no way I could have nearly as many flips as I do (currently 16) without being an agent. I also know that being an agent saves me a ton of money on each flip and each rental-property purchase.
