Question:

is real estate a good career choice?

I'm fixing to do online classes for real estate I'm really excited about it right now but would like to know from someone who has done it or still is doing it if it is worth it? Thank you

Answer:

Any career choice is a good one if you really care about it and you love it. If you work hard, put in hours, and have a blast, you'll make a ton of money. Go for it!
Uh, yeah, it CAN be good. BUT realistically speaking, it also is a VERY seasonable or 'tricky' field, if you will. One of my closest friends, Marie, got into it. She made a bundle of money really fast. Then she went on cruises and vacations etc. without putting some of those earnings aside for the 'rainy day'. Sure enough, the real estate market dried up here in Seattle. It's a very 'iffy' career. Boom times and then bust times. One must 'stash' some of those big commissions away to cover the mortgage or rent payments when the real estate market slows down. Don't worry about Marie (not her real name, but that's what she told me it was when I first met her - she's clever haha). She has some new fancy job somewhere else. She gets hired wherever she applies for a job - she has this way about her. Actually, I also get hired on the spot too - I'm a guy and of course am not NEARLY as cute as her LOL ;-) ----------------- My bottom line: An online real estate certification is essentially worthless, sorry.
well online classes are great for real estate but its very important to choose the right professional... If i would be at your place i would have choose the classes of Bernice Ross, Raleigh Pinskey, Amy Chorew or may be Jeff Turner
