HI!

I'm very interested in getting my realestate license. Currently, I work at a bank full time and my schedule is 8:45-7 M-F and 8:45-3 on Saturdays, with an occasional Saturday off, and usually a Monday or Tuesday off during the week. I'm looking into finding a class nearby, but am most curious how all this works. I have read a lot about agents being mostly commission based. That scares me to death, and was thinking that maybe I can ease into it and do it part time. All though, I'm not sure how that would work with my schedule.

I love my job now, and it is sales based, and I'm looking for bigger and better, and my significant other is really into real estate, and I thought why not try selling houses? It seems pretty interesting, and we just acquired a rental (needs a lot of work, but we are being positive about it!), and we are hoping to get into wholesaling too. <<<<< and the wholesaling thing also makes me wonder if I was an agent, would that make me loose out? I have a ton of questions, and any opinions or feed back would be greatly appreciated!!!

THANKS!

CARRIE, IL
