I definitely understand what you're saying and where you're coming from. Your message isn't getting lost by any means and I appreciate what you said. It's just after spending my entire life thus far in Mass it's time for me to get out there and experience other things and I feel like I need to do it at this age and not let the opportunity pass me by. San Diego is truly where I want to be.

Thank you for the encouragement. I really want to be out in California more than anything. Right now I guess it's just saving up while studying for my CA RE license and then making the move. Down the road I would like to own properties and create passive income off them. My grandparents did that for many years and I know they were successful with that venture. Learning from them is key.

My cousin/her boyfriend and one of my good friends live in SD and I've gone to visit them a few times. I never wanted to leave because of how happy I was and how much I loved it out there. I honestly miss California more everyday.

That's what I'm thinking of doing; taking the CA classes online while I'm still living and saving up in MA so once I make the move I'll already have my license and hopefully that will make things easier.

I would honestly be perfectly happy working a supporting role for awhile just as long as I can stay afloat with living expenses in San Diego. I feel like that is a great way to get started as a realtor, especially seeing as I won't really know anyone once I do make the move across the country. I'm just trying to figure out a solid plan for getting my CA license and getting into RE while being able to take care of living in California.

I'm honestly not sure how much business she does these days but I do know she is still working to some degree with her office. It's honestly a really tough and stressful decision making process because I really don't want to stay around MA for too much longer because California was the one place I was truly happy and at 23 I feel like I need to make the move now before the opportunity passes me by.

For someone in my shoes, what would you recommend? Studying for my CA license while saving up and trying to get into a RE brokerage as an office assistant or something in SD seems like it would be a good way for me to get my foot in the door and stay afloat in terms of living costs. I can only hope that I could get good training when eventually going with a brokerage and that they would be able to help me get my career started.

Hello everyone! I'm 23 and really looking into going into real estate for a career. My grandparents owned properties for many years and my grandmother has been a RE agent for 40+ years so I was always accompanying her to stuff as a kid and I do have an interest for everything. She's still an agent to this day and one of my buddies is a realtor too so I feel like those could be two great mentors to have as I'm getting started and both have said they'd help me.

On the other hand I really want to move to San Diego, California. That's what I want the most out of life right now and being a realtor there is my goal.

Originally I was going to get my license here in MA, work for 12-18 months to get experience and save up money then move out to California but I've had people tell me that I should just save up some money, move out to SD soonish and get a place/job that lets me stay afloat while getting my license there because I'm just going to be starting from scratch when I eventually leave Mass.

I'm starting to consider moving sooner than later because it seems to make more sense but want to hear what others think. Thank you to anyone who offers me some advice!
