Can real estate be?

Question

a hobby?

Answer 1

Well, if you have lots of money to play with it could be a hobby.  If you are buying and selling your own property.  Certainly, I would not want to business with an agent who considers this as a hobby.

Answer 2

Sure.  I know several people who sell real estate on the side.  I also know a couple house flippers, and a few others who purchase and sell real estate to supplement their incomes or do it just for fun.  

Real estate can be a very expensive endeavor though, so make sure you are financially prepared and don't do anything to hurt your means of living.  Also, look into real estate classes around your area, they can be very helpful and get you connected with some experts.
