As more information becomes available on-line there is less need for full services provided by an agent and hence less need to pay a 4-6% commission.

With all of this information available to people online, the phone calls that I get are from people who are already pretty interested in the apartment -- which wastese less of my time on fruitless showings.

I just sit there eating popcorn and watching the train wreck happen in slow motion.

I'm new here, and to RE, except for all the books at the library and the TONS of info online.

There is really not enough training in that area.

I don't know a huge amount about real estate but I'm startin' to do this online cash flow note business.

From what I have read online and from people talking seems like you don't have to be the best to start being financially successful.

If you work hard an realize that being a real estate agent is a full time job if you want to make good money in it you will be fine.Some key points were made alreadyFind a broker who is going to offer training and learn as much as you can.. i am sure some people will agree with me"training is a journey not a destination" you just dont train for 2 weeks and know it all.i feel that you will be training and learning forever in any job, so go to your local board of realtors and if they have some trainings use it make sure your broker has a trainging program.
