I would like to go to real estate school and get my license but I'm strapped on funds. Any suggestions?
Plenty of great answers already for this
Check with your local brokers. Some may offer signing bonuses or tuition payment for new realtors.

Look in your local paper. There are usually some real estate brokers that will pay for your classes. This is a tough time to enter the real estate business, but you may find what you are looking for. If you don't find that in the papers, google free real estate classes and list in that your local board of realtors, which is different depending on what area you are in. The brokers who give free real estate classes may have stipulations though, such as that you complete at least one sale or you have to pay them back. You could also try calling brokers. Some may agree to foot the bill on the classes for you until you get a sale in, but the paper is your best bet. By the way, a warning...you need money to start in real estate. There will be other fees, such as joining your local board of realtors, business cards, etc. It usually takes a minimum of six months to really get an income. You either need another job, or a good cushion of money to tide you over.
