Starting Out in the Bay Area...

[Colleen Hendrickson]

Hello All!

I am working on my required classes for my California license and am continually trying to plan ahead and prepare for when I actually start in the field...not the easiest task. ;) Any advice for planning ahead financially? I have researched online and have spoken with some local brokerages about what expenses there are up front, but am curious about what others spent up front in the first few months. Also, how long before you had a return on investment? (I know this differs for how much work you put in, the area you are working, etc.) Any tips or advice on getting started is always appreciated, too! If you live in the Bay Area (East Bay a plus!), let's grab coffee and talk Real Estate sometime! Thanks for letting me pick your brain(s)!
