You can choose when you want to work, where you want to work, and whom you want to work with.I, personally, am not a very handy person and am best suited using my architectural background to manage contractors, specify finishes, design, etc.

Good agents do these things during the day:Prospecting & MarketingService Sales FunnelBuyer/Seller Presentations & NegotiationMarket Knowledge (You should know the market like the back of your hand)Some skills & traits you need:Sales & Negotiation skillsExcellent writing and verbal communication skillsSOP (standard operating procedure) development skillsOrganizational skills Real estate knowledge (Mortgages, Construction, Financial Modeling, CMAs, Architecture, Economics, and the list goes on and on and on)Entrepreneurial Obviously, there's way more than this to become a top agent.

i am an architecture graduate very interested in getting started real estate development. i have already dabbled in real estate buy and hold deals and own some property. i also have some experience in design and development. i would like to develop my knowledge and portfolio by getting started with rehab deals in Southern California. 

I studied architecture at the University of Houston and graduated a year and a half ago.

I am also an architecture and real estate photographer.

I would rent it now, brush up on your development and architectural plans and build in a few years and sell for the highest price per sq ft.

Young urban professionals appreciated the architectural details of these properties so much so that they were willing to pay above-market rental rates to rent them.Entrepreneur: Craig Hall / Hall Office Park (Frisco, Texas)Office park featuring a variety of artEntrepreneur: Jakob Medve / The Medve GroupUpgrading apartment complexes to meet student demand featuring unique art (large sculptures, art on buildings, etc..).
