Motivated To Become A RE Agent! RE Agents please help
I'm currently almost finished with my real estate sales course work, and after I plan to take the state exam. I'm planning to become a hybrid agent, sales and rentals in Nevada and eventually invest in wholesaling and rehabbing properties.
I have a few questions for licensed real estate agents.
-How did you study & what helped you the most when preparing to take the RE state exam for the first time? (Aside from studying the books from the RE course)
-How much money would you estimate a new agent will initially need, after paying for the exam and license, in order to get started with a real estate company? For example, to start off helping people find rentals and closing deals, etc.
-Now that you're experienced in the RE field what advice would you give to new agents?

6 months worth of savings plus whatever your mls board fees are. They were 2100 in my area. Don't under estimate how much you will spend on gas and advertising cost if you're gonna be independent.
