Newbie working on my RE Sales License

[Claudio Salvatorelli]

1) After getting the license how long does it usually take to find real tangible income? I heard for the first year or two income is scarce and it takes time to get the flow of money and that’s where a lot of people give up.

2) Finding new deals in this highly competitive market in California seems tough, especially for high prices, how to catch good prices like the old times when prices were cheaper and fewer investors were around?

3) I heard that being a realtor in an ok area is the same effort as being a realtor is a good high-priced area, is this statement true? If I start in Real Estate should I start in coastlines instead of regular areas?

4) How to find Hard Money Lenders and regular houses that can be transformed into good deals?

5) How to deal with rejections in Real Estate what do you consider the Pros and the Cons of being a realtor?

Thanks for all the answers highly appreciated.
