Question:

How to Get into Real Estate?

I am a college junior majoring in computer information systems. The only problem with that is that I feel that that isn't the path for me. I want to move into real estate because I genuinely feel I would love to do it.. I just don't have the slightest clue as to how to get started, can somebody please help me out?

Answer:

There is a class you have to take (a specific class) to get a real estate license. Your college may offer it, but if not find someone who does (may be able to take it online), take it, learn the info throughly, and then take the state and federal licensing exams. If you pass those (can retake them as needed, they are fairly hard) you ca get a license. Once you pass those find a real esate broker you want to deal with (I'd stick with a deep discount broker if you are doing this part time) and start selling. Note that just holding an active license will probably run you a few 1000 dollars per year, money you'd make back in commisisions on one sale/ purchase but money that is gone if you never sell/ buy anything so don't activate your license until you are ready to do some work (if you pass the exams but don't activate your license you may have to retake them after some period of time has elapsed)
