I am a 2014 college graduate with a degree in Information Technology, I have accepted a job offer here ( and I love it).

I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a civil engineering degree and love to cheer on the cats every chance I get. 

The market is made up of a lot of players of varying sophistication (RE hedge funds probably at the top of that stack).

Lending is governed by State law and can vary considerably from State to State.

roc,10% of collected rents is typical, certainly it varies by market.

But, it varies all over the map, so you should talk to lenders when you get to this point and see what's available.Financing gets much more creative for commercial properties and commercial loans.

It varies by state but in TX for example it will cost you ~$1500 for education/state fees/realtor fees to get your license and about $1000/year in fees to hold it.

Or does different states vary?

If you took the money that you were to invest in a college RE program and invested in some quality re courses it would seem that you would be much farther along.don't get me wrong having a degree is great, but it is not something that I needed to become a a real estate agent or real estate wholesaler or landlord, all of which I currently do.Unless you plan on seeking employment in the real estate field with a firm or something like that, where you need to be hired I would advise skipping the degree.I went into real estate so that I could have time freedom and financial freedom, and it has brought me a lot of both, but if I were to go and get a JOB in the real estate business I am sure I would probably lose out on both.

They even offer college degrees in appraisal.
