." - The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel In real estate, it's not the smooth sailing that defines us, but how we navigate the storms.

Promising to introduce you to people presupposes that there is some underground river that once you hop in, its all smooth sailing. 

It's not going to retire you in 5 year but give it 10 - 15 and you're likely sitting pretty.That said, it's not as easy to pull off as it sounds and not as smooth sailing as folks will make it out to be.

Anything is possible, but being successful as an agent under 30 is incredibly hard, because clients usually don't pick agents that are much younger than they are.Always sail with the wind, it is easier.Getting into sales at a young age is a great idea, but I think you'll find it much easier (and make more money) doing something where your age is not in your way like flipping couches, washing driveways or selling lawn services.

Hope you change course and the rest a smooth sailing for you. 

Where do you tend to sail?

However, that ship has sailed.

It wasn't always smooth sailing – I've learned a lot from my mistakes and am happy to share those learnings to help others avoid them.Feel free to ask me anything about structuring subcontractor relationships, ordering materials, or keeping budgets on track.

To my knowledge, that is the only one that has sailed through so far.
