My first real estate mentor began in the time share business. He taught me a few things that he said he learned at the time share gig;

-Control the conversation

-Make the person you are talking to make a decision, one way or another

-Get reps in! Look at what you did wrong/other people did right, make adjustments and have more reps!

I had these drilled into my head! You will learn the same thing from either residential or timeshare. Look at the managers for both sectors; look at the amount of work that you will be doing- pick the option that allows you to learn as much as possible and develop your skills as a real estate professional (the job/manager that is fun might not be the best for you to grow). 

 Great advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently studying to get my real estate license here in the state of Florida. I will be operating in the Orlando area. Still trying to figure out what avenue I want to start out with. My mom told me that timeshare saless here in Orlando can be very profitable. I want to work around high class intelligent people. Can someone please give me some good advice on what avenue to go down. Residential or timeshare? Or even possibly another option that I don't even know about. Thanks!
