I have been thinking about getting my real estate license... but I want to know if it's a bad time to get it right now. I live in Dallas. I don't want to spend the money on getting my license and not make any money.
Chances are very high you could have gotten a license two or three years ago and not made any money. Only 20% of new agents stick with it for a year, and only 10% are still in the business after 18 months. It takes more dedication than most people are willing to extend, and that whole no income for a year or more doesn’t jive with many of them. Now is definitely not the time to try your hand at being an agent. The best many seasoned agents hope for right now is just to make enough money to get by without needing a second job. It’s not that they’re not great agents. It just doesn’t matter how great you are when loans are hard to get so that few people have the power to buy homes.
well my aunt does Real Estate, but this is in Louisiana. She`s motivated and great at it. She was doing wonderful, and enjoys it. Lately it has been slow for her, and she is pulling another job( she makes good money doing this, so i dont see the point in her having another job) she says it`s just been much slower than usual. Well good luck!
