What to do before becoming licensed

[Alex Rojesky]

Hello bp community!

After stumbling upon bigger pockets and being sucked in to the wonderful world of real estate, I've obtained a whole new look on my future and career choice. With me starting to create a rough outline on the path I'm going to be taking my first step is a career change. A real estate agent.

Im extremely excited about my decision, and have been taking in as much information, feedback, and knowledge as possible. I'm planning my RE education to be started by the first of the year, which gives me a few months to do more prep.

Outside of the basics, i would love to hear any advice, routes to go, books/people to follow, or any other information that i can use to help set myself up as ready and ahead of the game as possible.

Thank you for any and all feedback!

Alex,

No prep work needed my friend!  Just jump in with both feet!  You can do it!!  If you can get into a pre-licensing education program where you can do nights and weekends to burn through the 4 courses the better(try and get a course in before years end if you can).  No need to wait-Seriously!  Get in the game!

If you have test anxiety, take a lot of practice exams when you've completed all your course work.  And pound the vocabulary into your head.  You'll be fine.  

Go to your local library and utilize their website to access this resource(otherwise you'll pay):  www.learningexpresshub.com

Once on the site, look up real estate exams and find the RE test for your state MN.  They'll be practice tests for you to take for free as many times as you want(memorize these Q & As).  It will come in very handy.

Good luck!
