@Chris Parsons

Thank you! I was thinking about how crazy the market is and this is something to take into consideration, now may not be a good time to get in, but is there ever a good time? Lol.

@Agus Hartono

Your from Sunnyvale! We’re neighbors, I’m in San Jose :)

I appreciate the information and advice Agus!

@Joe Brisindi

Thanks for your input! I would definitely like to start a foundation like you mentioned. That is the goal, 1 house every other month, to 1 house a month and so on.. As long as I can build up slowly, I think I will survive. But I’ll never know until i try!

@Jonathan Bombaci

Thank you Jonathan for your input. It definitely makes sense to keep my W2 job, until I get the ball rolling as an agent. Ultimately, I would love to become a real estate investor, I want to do this to learn about the operations of real estate and earn extra money to continue to save my down payment for my first property.

I appreciate all of the advice!!

@Jay Hinrichs

Thank you for giving me solid numbers, I definitely have to take that into consideration. I appreciate the response!

@Drew Sygit

I’d shoot for 12K annually, that would be a good start. I would say 15+ hours a week.. do you think that is achievable with that amount of time put in?

@Marian Huish

Ooh I see, I didn’t realize the additional costs annually. Thank you for that knowledge! I will have to take that into consideration! I do have a friend who is an agent and she said the broker she works for only takes a flat rate from each sale, so I have somewhere to start. I appreciate all the feedback!

@Tara Sullivan thank you for your input, I appreciate it!

@Marian Huish I am in San Jose, CA. So houses here are at least 600k and higher! When you say thousands of dollars to keep up a real estate license, what costs are you referring to? I feel that since the housing market is extremely high over here, one or two deals a year would be worth it. But I also know there is a lot of time that goes into it as well..

I have a full time job selling RVs, but I want to do real estate on the side, is it worth it if I am not dedicating full time to it? Any advice helps!
