People that get into it and survive usually have some other source of income to survive off for the first couple of years.

@Theresa Harris with devices like Ring, Alexa and Echo so common, we’re probably being recorded in most listings these days one way or another.

That being said, from someone who was in the market for a job a while back, finding opportunities that actually provide a better opportunity than just survival can be rough.People are moving from the center of the city to the outlying areas with newer homes instead of leaving the city all together.

You should never quit your day job until you have your real estate business producing at a level that you can survive.

@ron Harris is a great resource he’s got a social event called Coffee with Investors you can find Meet Up.

I second @Theresa Harris.

Ideally, I'll have some living expenses saved, and can try to survive that tough first year as an agent.  

I am being stationed in Hawaii and as a dual military officer couple so money isn't an issue between work, savings and investments to include properties in very profitable markets, I won't have to rely on sales to survive which helps.
