Hello Bigger Pockets family, My name is Stefon, I've always fancied about becoming a real estate agent, and I believe and have faith that this year I want to achieve that goal. I understand real estate is more than having the ability to talk to people and sell houses. I decided that before entering the world of real estate, I was hoping to get some insight from your perspective of the real estate world. If anybody is interested, I would love to have the chance to have a sit down over either lunch (Nyc or upper New Jersey area) or a setup zoom meeting to discuss more on what it takes to get to the position and what it takes to become a great real estate agent.

Ps: I have a list of 15 questions that i'm curious to ask an experienced real estate agent.Please feel free to message me if you would like to answer these questions thank you.

Hello BiggerPockets family, I had just got done reading a chapter of the rich dad poor dad series. This chapter was very significant because he touched upon the topic of gaining knowledge through working for free. I’ve been wanting to gain experience within the real estate field for a few months now, and it dawned on me that one of the best ways for me to gain experience is to work for free on my off time. I wanted to know if anybody has an opportunity to work for free under them or just advice they can help me along the way. Thank You

Hello Biggerpockets family,

My name is Stefon and I am a 22 recently graduated student seeking routines on how to escape from my 9-5 rat race for a job. The thought of working at a meaningless dead-end job burns my soul. I feel as though I'm working against my desire to become a real estate investor. I was hoping for some advice on how to work closely within the field of real estate investing or just have some connection to the field. I would love to have the opportunity to work under a mentor, someone that would take me under their wing so that I can create value and opportunity. I currently work at a job that has absolutely nothing to do with my passion for real estate. My job is becoming very depressing to the point that I truly just want to leave on the spot, But, I can't because I feel like I'm trapped. I have the philosophy that life is short and why spend it doing something and being somewhere that brings sadness. I guess, to sum up, my story is that I'm just extremely eager to get into the field of REI, but I feel like I don't hold any value. How can I create value and get the opportunity to work with an experience rei member?

PS: I apologize for venting, it's just I don't have anyone that I feel I could truly vent to that understands what i'm experiencing. I'm usually a very passionate happy person but life has been really whooping my butt.

Thank you

From,Stefon
