Question:

Real Estate Job/Career?

I've been wanting to do Real Estate for awhile. I graduated Highschool last summer and since than, I've been trying to figure out what I want to do as a career. Before you say I'm too young and people won't take me serious, I've already thought about those things. I know that it's not going to be easy and I know there's a lot of competition and a lot of things aren't in my control and I am prepared for that. My main questions are, is it good money to make a living? Do I need money to do it (besides the schooling part)? Should I find a mentor? After schooling, how does it work? I'm going to do a 170 hour online class for a real estate brokers license. Once I start doing real estate and it's stable, I'm going to go to school to major in business. Any advice, tips and answers are very much appreciated. Thankyou.

Answer:

You will need a luxury car to drive people around to look at properties. You have to wear expensive clothes to look successful. Since real estate agents are paid by commission, you will probably have to pay for office space, telephone, newspaper advertising, and all other expenses for your share of the office. So, it's going to cost you a lot to get started. Also, as about 98% of all successful real estate agents are very attractive women, if you are not one of those, you might as well forget about it and choose something else.
