Hi I am currently taking class right now at my community college in Hayward California and I will be taking my test this summer to attempt to get my real estate agents license. I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend some good real estate firms that I could go to for a job as a real estate agent after I get my license. 

Hi guys I have been researching real estate but need to learn about it more. My goal is to one day buy and flip houses and also buy properties and rent them out. I was wondering what forums and what posts or videos would be recommended to get the education i need to be more familiar with how to start or even get into real estate period. I work for a grocery store now but my goal is to be in real estate by the end of next year and have that as my main job.

If I may ask how did you start in the RE business and where did you get the education about the business? I'm just wondering because I was considering my community college to take a few classes to get prepared to take the test required in California to get my real estate agent license. Also how did you get your foot in the door in real estate and to clarify what was your first deal, I guess you can say. I am not questioning your knowledge or credibility I am just wanting to hear from people who have actually been there already. Also thank you for your reply to my post it is highly appreciated.

Yeah no problem I will definitely let you know. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in this situation and  I am excited for an answer because I want to get into the industry as soon as I can. 

I would love to start getting into the real estate business but I do not have the real estate knowledge yet. So I wanted to ask how do I go about learning about real estate? My community college has a real estate program but is that a good way to learn about the business? What do you guys think I could use the feedback because I do not know anyone in the business. Also what would be a good way to start out after my education? Should I go into owning a duplex and rent it out or what would be a good start for a beginner? Thanks so much everyone I really appreciate it
