I am fixing to take my real estate test with the economy the way it is would you reccomend it
Keep watching the upcoming and new trends in investor sentiments, this is what mostly drive real estate.
It is always good to have the real estate education but remember this, if you take the licensing test you are restricted in some ways regarding real estate rules. In this market unless you have a basket full of built in customers, getting started will be very difficult. Good Luck!
I recommend that if you are really interested in Real Estate as a Profession that you first get your training with The Appraisal Institute, and work for a Real Estate Appraiser who is a Member of The Appraisal Institute for at least one year. I have been investing in Real Estate for over 40 years. I never use Real Estate Agents because they are very poorly traiined and are not competent to represent my interests. One of the areas where Real Estate Agents are most lacking is the ability to competently determine the Fair Market Value of a Piece of Real Estate. If you will at least get your training with The Appraisal Institute and some work experience with a Member of The Appraisal Institute you will at least be competent to advise others on The Fair Market Value of Real Estate. .
