How did you guys sustain a steady income while starting out as an agent? How rare is it finding hourly + commission?

Does anyone have any tips, or key things to look for in a broker/company for a first year agent? Starting my search. Keller Williams keeps emailing me but I’ve heard mixed reviews on them. Any feedback?

Ok. That makes sense now. Thank you both. I was under the impression that I could only hang my license with a broker at a real estate firm. I didn’t realize I could do it with property management. Thanks!

Im taking the pre-licensing courses currently to obtain my real estate license. I have not yet found a broker to sponsor me. I have a question about something the course said. It says in Montana, real estate brokers and sales people do not require more education to become a property manager. They can use their license to do so. I obviously can’t obtain my license if I don’t have a broker so do I have to wait until after my first year if I wanted to manage property? Just a little confused on this part. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a property to invest in. I'm in the Bozeman area, but am wondering what the market is like in Butte. Butte could 'use' flipping more so than Bozeman in my opinion as far as infrastructure goes. But, it has higher risk of vandalism I fear, and I'm wondering if people are buying there. TIA. 

Hey there. Newbie here. I found a property I’m interested in purchasing. The owner is selling it privately without an agency. I had planned on purchasing through a HML. Since this is my first buy, how does it work? Can I hire an agent? Are there any cons from buying through a private owner? Any tips welcome. Thanks!

Congrats! Looks beautiful!

Hello! I'm Chantel. I live in Bozeman, MT. I am planning to relocate to Seattle area in 2019, but I would like to get a house or two under by belt before the move. I've pondered flipping for years. It's always been in the back of my mind. I'm tired of working for other people and not being respected. I've put off starting my flipping career because I had the doubt that I just don't have the money or the credit. I've done a TON of research. I've read books, blogs, articles, watched videos, networked with a few brokers in my area, attended seminars/webinars, and even found a property I may be interested in. I even  have a potential buyer. My question is, where do I start? I've seen all the hype about hard money lenders, and I'm hoping I can go in that direction, because as I previously stated, I just don't have it out of pocket. Is it realistic for someone with little money, and rough credit to go that route? I almost wish that I could find someone to help me walk through the first flip with of course, split compensation. Is that realistic? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance! 

Hey there! I'm a new agent and have my first meeting with a brokerage to hang my license today with Remax.  I have a list of questions and have done my home work, but does anyone have any advice for me? Or experience with the company?  TIA.

Hey there! My name is Chantel, and for years I have tried to convince myself that working the medical field was what was best for me. I finally made peace with the fact that I'm just not interested in healthcare as much as I am real estate. I want to get certified, but cant really afford to pay it out of pocket. I'm wondering if there is a school out there that I can get licensed, using Financial Aide. If it's online, even better! Thanks in advance!
