Good point Patrick what is lucrative to some is not so much to others.
top agents on the west coast will get into 7 figures for sure.. and many make 200 to 500k.. And all that with no risk of borrowing money.. they get paid for time and a service. So I would call that lucrative.
to make a million a year flipping houses would be a very intense and bizzy job.. say you made 20k net ( which is a high figure in this day and age) that's 50 bought rehabbed and sold per month.. I have no doubt there are those that have and do this.. I did it back in 01 to 05) Stu fox on this site did it as well.
but you need a boat load of capital behind you and its far more risky than being a RE Agent and or top producer.. I keep my license's current in CA OR just as a back up and I do get referral commission every now and again. Especially referring buyers to my buddies in the BAy Area were prices average 500 to 1mil a nice referral fee of say 20% can be 10k for just sending a name along...
Someone who is rehabbing and making a million a year is to busy to be a RE agent and someone who is making 250k to 1 mil or more as RE broker is too busy to be a full time flipper. At least from my perspective
