Is an online real estate course good for part time career? If so, what is a good course in texas? Im only 17 years old and I wanted to take a course to get my real estate license when I turn 18?
real estate usually isn't a part time job. It requires full time attention to earn money. Remember, you only earn equal to the amount of time you spend. As for the course. The only reason for the license course is to help you pass the test. TALK IT IN PERSON. Not everything is on the test. In person course teaches for the test.
A part time career in real estate can be a good thing if you can do the job well. If you want to get licensed, contact your state real estate commission and make sure the course you plan to take is accredited and the other requirements for a license.
Don't plan on part time real estate. You are very young, which will work against you anyway. Try to get a job as an assistant to a successful agent to see if the business is right for you. Online courses are not much help to someone just starting out. You really should take the pre-licensing classes in person to learn and ask as much as you can from people experienced in the business. Your local Association of Realtors can give you a list of schools, sometimes pre-licensing is offered at community colleges. Online classes are fine for your continuing education after you are established in the business.
Better idea: (it will save you serious money). Go to a library or bookstore and get books on how to become a real estate agent.
