You're not getting paid a salary, so it's no skin off the agency's nose.The average time from shiny new license to first income is 90 days. 

Some of us have worked on homes for years, assisted on all kinds of commercial and residential cites, have been mentored by agents with enough skin in the industry, and absolutely love to see everyone win!

Here they get a dozen calls by 10:00 in the morning the day it expires, you’ll need a tough skin and good game to make any progress at all.

With the Stock and crypto market already falling a lot YTD, im not to sure if right now is the best time to be buying real estate, I may be wrong though, I was planning on buying a home somewhere in Ottawa the beginning of this year, either a single family or condo, im only 20 though, so I do not have any skin in the game, so if anyone with more experience than myself can pitch in, that would be great.

Most lenders would want to see experience and track record to remove your need for skin in the game.

Your skin should not matter.

Wise, but keep in mind that there's more than one way to skin a cat.  

My parents taught me about traditional investing and I am thankful for that, but WOW there are so many ways to skin a snake! 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I’m very new to the real a state, I have no skin in the game yet, but I’m very serious about proceeding on this road.
