I don't care if a person is black, white or indifferent - it just makes my job seem pointless when I see the hopelessness with which some of these people surround themselves - out of choice I might add.

The landlord bought the house new in 2005, lived in it a few months and due to a job transfer needed to rent it out.

What I enjoyed about your story is that it moved from"I'm working a job to make money" to"I'm working a job to help others".

The other problem is finding the time away from our day jobs to find a buyer.

But I feel I rather invest my time and money into something that will pay off instead of school promising me jobs that aren't out there and if they are you gota be the best to break in the business.

The ability to move with a change of job, and live nearthat job has always been very valuable to me.

Steve,It sounds like you've been doing a good job of thinking things through before you get started.

If you work hard an realize that being a real estate agent is a full time job if you want to make good money in it you will be fine.Some key points were made alreadyFind a broker who is going to offer training and learn as much as you can.. i am sure some people will agree with me"training is a journey not a destination" you just dont train for 2 weeks and know it all.i feel that you will be training and learning forever in any job, so go to your local board of realtors and if they have some trainings use it make sure your broker has a trainging program.

I really do not want to quit my FT job now.

So, I've decided, after about a year of research, and a miserable year at the JOB, to jump in with an initial plan.I lived in this house for about 5 years now.
