Thoughts on Obtaining Real Estate License in Colorado

[Josh Jack]

Hi everyone!

Thoughts on obtaining a real estate license in Colorado?

My husband was born and raised in Colorado and we now reside just outside of San Antonio, TX. While the cost is low(er) what we value as a family isn't met as far as the outdoors and climate, it's HOT and humid. We love Colorado but are obviously aware of the fact it isn't what it used to be, neither is San Antonio.

My husband is in commercial Construction with experience in residential. I am seriously considering the idea of pursuing real estate full(ish)-time and working together as a team on all spectrums of real estate: sales, rentals, renovations, getting homes sell ready, while investing in other markets for long term rentals.

I wanted to hear from someone who has gone this route and taken on real estate full(er)-time in Colorado (even though I'd prefer it to be more middle ground.)

If/when we sell we will have a large amount of equity out of our home, zero debt and a fully funded safety fund. We are a young family with 2 small children, open to opportunity in a climate that we love and enjoy, though we love Colorado because it is a direct flight to and from Texas where my family is. A move, paired with the uncertainty of COVID and the somewhat opposite political climate in Colorado are somewhat of a deterrent for me being born and raised in Texas but I absolutely love what Colorado has to offer from an activity and lifestyle perspective.

Wanting all the thoughts from a personal and real estate perspective. Thanks in advance!
