Is this a good time to get into RE sales/brokerage?

[Gavin Adair]

Hi BP folks. I am about to move back to NYC after four years abroad. Just wondering if now would be a good time to get into RE sales/brokerage with the current cooler rental market. I know the city well, understanding the dynamics of specific neighborhoods, but what chance would there be of making this my primary source of income within 18-24 months of passing the exams and finding a brokerage to take me in? Any honest opinions will be greatly appreciated.
