Why choose real estate?
Why would a person want to do real estate?

You are in a field where the investment is tangible. The investment makes sense. People need food, water, air, power, and shelter. I like owning necessities. Like Brian mentioned you have control. I know that I can buy the house at a certain price and rent it for a price. I can adjust this to make it work. If I am properly leveraged I am bulletproof to economic downturns. If I invest in stocks I have zero control. I have no idea if a company is cooking their books like Enron.
As for being in real estate sales. I get to make my own hours, I get to be my own boss, I get to control my income. No one to blame but myself. Love that. Also buying a house is a very important event in peoples lives and I am so grateful I am able to be a part of that and earn the trust of my clients. I have made some great friends helping people buy their own home and invest.
