New Agent Advice Needed

[Yisell Perez]

Hello everyone! 

I am a newbie on BP and also in real estate. I am starting my real estate course next week and I would love some advice. 

What do you recommend I do before, during and after classes start? What is the best way to market myself? How do I look for the best place or person to work with? How do I build a portfolio? How does pay work? Should I start part time? I just need and would be grateful with all the advice, recommendations, pros and cons, do’s and dont’s you can give me! I am very excited and eager to start and excel in this industry, so any and all advice is appreciated! 

Also I am in the North Jersey area close to NYC and all major highways. Any tips for a new agent in this area? Is another area recommended? 

Thank you for reading my post and helping a prospective new agent like myself! :)
