Is it common for agents to compensate assistants on an hourly 1099 wage while they are training?

I am not saying prices will crash, but I don't think wages can keep up.  

Keep track of your hours, maybe, and at the end of the month calculate your "hourly wage" and then try to improve it the following month.Hope this helps in some way!...

Of course, all is well in the world if oil works its way back up, but all indications point to cheap oil for a while.As for Austin, as a general rule of thumb, any time real estate appreciation rates are WAY out of whack with wage appreciation rates, it's cause for concern. 

Maybe Boise Idaho home price would rise after some of us move there.Here's the database:https://layoffdata.com/data/ Population in those states is barely 1 mil if that.. .. so probably % wise pretty close to CA. ya but under the radar we have cold war now between the CA corporation vs the CA (socialist) goverment.while the socialist goverment increase min. wage, the corp started laying off people even in blue collar industry, so this layoffs has been widespread so far.take a look at it here https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/01/08/wxay-j08.html in CA there're 3M minimum-wage worker under poverty line ....also Mexico is having the nicest weather I should say LOL maybe we have to cross border to get good job+weather lol

Realtors, globally should be changed to an hourly wage.

However this direction would add a much higher value to the property.Personally I do think there is great appeal to the idea of being mobile, low footprint, minimalist living combined with affordable housing - especially for the millennial crowd who are saddled with enormous student loan debt and earning lower wages than the generation before them.

You can't garnish wages here in Texas and there are a lot of protections for the types of assets you can collect on.  

He/she must actually make a wage.

I only have one STR and I am not a high income earner at my W2, so I am trying to accomplish this so that it makes financial sense just for my one unit.Topics of assistance-cost segregation, bonus depreciation, active participation and my logging hours, home office, offset W2, schedule C etc.Thank you in advance,Austin Spitzenberger
