ok i want to get into real estate so ima get my real estate license, but my dad wants me to wait after college. I dont want to wait any longer i want to do it now, so whether he'll help me out or not ima get my license. What do i do after i get it? i want to be a Loan Officer like my dad. So wat do i need to do once i get it? Do i need to hook up wit some real estate offices? he works with century 21. How does it all work. And yes i do have education and im continuing it, but it doesnt mean i cant get into real estate at the same time. So i need help!
Ask ur father u have a example right in ur face.Research, ask around.Tell ur dad u agree and that u are gonna wait until after collge and then probe him for information.Come back a few days later and tell him u changed ur mind ur gonna do it now!
Be patient, your Dad is wise in that if you get a degree in finance and business perhaps with a minor in real estate you can then get your real estate license and do commercial deals. The money is better, the days M-F with no Sun open house, few credit problem buyers, and more opportunities. If I had it to do over that is exactly what I'd do. If my Dad could have convinced me to stick with college, as good as I have done I'd have rivaled the Donald (Trump). And what I'd have earned as a college grad would be mine for ever, nobody could take it from me. Real estate is not a vocation for the faint of heart, the weak or meak. It will take several months at best after getting your license to get your first deal and maybe close it. With a finance/real estate degree you can go to a REIT or Wal-Mart or some such corporate entity or one of the national or regional commercial brokerages and they will find an opening for you, I promise! Get the pedeigree- hey come to TN, I'll give you a chance! But hang in there with college, it is WELL worth it. The real estate market in California is slowing, and on the left coast in general tends to be a wild ride anyway. This is not a good tme to get in unless you can live a long time between closings. Once you learn the busiiness and understand the real estate market, whether slow or good times you will survive. Be advised that most sales jobs are commissioned sales. It is best to finish college while Dad will foot the bill. Don't go pay the stupid tax, it isn't worth it.
