Start reading books: Millionaire Real Estate Investor (Gary Keller) is a good start.Watching Videos in You Tube: Bigger Pockets has a ton of content.

I'd recommend the Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller as a fantastic starter book to build your knowledge from.

But that is also why brokerages like Keller Williams who have carved out a niche as being the best training company in the industry is not cheap.

There are plenty of Brokers out there that will let you work part-time from home with no desk fees, no floor duty, no requirement to attend weekly meetings, etc.You should probably look for a smaller mom-and-pop type office, not a large franchise like Keller Williams or Remax.

@Kobe Xin is spot on, and I would even turn it around a bit, putting more pressure on you - agencies are going to be real tight bringing on new agents (my guess) for a while, as there is overhead when hanging a shingle, marketing costs, license costs, CRM and software costs, MLS costs, dues owed to the mothership (keller williams, compass,) etc.

As eluded to by Craig, property taxes differ greatly from Queens to Nassau to Suffolk.A great book to check out is the Millionaire Real Estate investor by Gary Keller.

I had "Shift" by Gary Keller on my reading list for the beginning of the year(I had no idea Covid-19 was coming but the market was over due for a shift and I wanted to read the book before I was in the middle of it) and cutting costs that don't drive revenue was a point that Gary drives home hard in the book.  

Books on biz and real estate that I have really like:The Book on Managing Rental Properties - BiggerPocketsABCs of Real Estate InvestingStart With Why - Simon SinekTax Free Wealth - Tom WheelrightThe E-Myth - Michael GerberCurrently reading: Extreme Ownership - Jocko WillinkOn Deck: Gary Keller's The One ThingThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - CoveyDon't recommend: The Oz Principle.

(I do both property management and real estate sales)  Profit margins and not just what I see but what is posted by other companies, coaches,  Gary Keller in his millionaire real estate agent book etc are higher for real estate than property management.
