Becoming a real estate is a great way to learn the culture of that side of real estate - what you won't learn at Realtor School is how to invest - creative financing and making money.What you will learn is how to keep from getting sued - how to use their forms and making full disclosures.Learn the business from their prospective - but keep in mind (before you become brained washed) that your real goal is to become a successful investor.So - follow their rules - but start to study real estate investing - get a mentor - go to auctions, tax sales - foreclosures - make offers on expired listings.So to make your broker happy -- list a few properties and sell some also.Apply for a credit line, check protection and set up some joint ventures with friends and relatives.You WON'T make that much as an agent - but you'll become wealthy if you learn how to CONTROL and ROLL real estate - make sure you learn advanced creative real estate formulas and use those principals often.Good luck with your release from incarceration of employment.

Hi Everyone,My husband owns a handyman business and in the last week we have gotten text messages (which are not uncommon for our customers), however the 3 texts I am referring to are scams and I just wanted to share with other contractors so that you are aware.Each of the 3 texts started out asking about a specific service our company offers such as one was hardwood floor install, and the third pressure washing, don't remember what the second one was without looking.The first one gave me a red flag when I asked where they found out about our company when they gave me a website our company is not listed on, but I played along to see where they were going with this.
