Saving to be A Real Estate Agent?

[Kaitlyn Robinson]

I had put it off for awhile, but now I'm in the beginning stages of getting my real estate license. While taking my courses I've become extremely enthusiastic in getting my license and start selling houses, however.... I've been hit with a dilemma. I was told to have a pretty healthy savings account when I do get started because often it takes awhile to actually get paid. Patience is virtue, of course, but other than waiting and staying in a job I hate to save money, is there any other ways Realtors make money on the side while also doing real estate full-time?
