i want to get into real estate but' know nothing about it..............can ..anybodytell me about it
If you are interested in selling real estate you have to be licensed. Depending on what state you are in that means about 90 hours of classes and a pretty difficult test. Investment-wise you are looking at roughly $1000 to get licensed. Once licensed my suggestion would be to find an experienced agent that you can work as an assistant to to get a leg up in the business.
When you say 'get into' real estate, you don't say what role you want. I recommend starting to learn more about the industry first. Some people jump in because they see it as a huge salary and don't realize the huge investment of time and training involved. To get started look at the real estate website below and begin reading the information under Real Estate 101.
The best experience you can get is to purchase a home for yourself, seriously. You will learn a ton during the process. If that's not a possibility, go to RE school. Watch Real estate shows, or housing shows. There is a lot to know, and it's tough out there, dude.
Stop in to a real estate office. Most of them offer free real estate courses if you agree to work for them after passing the state exam.
Real Estate business could be many things, are you interested in selling/renting or property management, or owning real estate? All of the above are rewarding and challenging, depending on which area of real estate you are referring to. Selling and renting property could mean a work schedule that will vary from day to day. No 9-5 here. You are available when the client is. Getting to know what your selling/renting and your client will enable you to match people with places. Looking to own real estate? Becoming a landlord? Research the tenant/landlord laws for your state, you are the boss here, must make sure your properties follow the law or you could find yourself with huge legal bills and lots of time in court.
