Young Houston Realtor Seeking Advice

[Eli L.]

Hello all,

I recently stumbled upon the Bigger Pockets podcast and instantly became a fan.

The reason I am positing today is to hopefully gain some insight from any professionals in the Houston market. I recently obtained my license about 3 months ago and signed on to a very small real estate team which is the sister company to a property management firm that manages over 600 homes. The firm currently has me leasing throughout the summer as apart of my training with 50-50 commission splits. Ideally, I signed on with the intent of working with current and future investors.

As a hungry Realtor that is eager to make an impact in the Houston market, questions are:

Is this situation I am in now something that is worth waiting out, or are these opportunities common for Realtors in Houston?

 Also, if this situation is something that could be promising, are these splits low compared to other small firms?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
