Q:I am intersted in becoming a real estate agent. The situation is: I am currently attending college for my master of bus. adm. (MBA). 1. What is the duration of a real estate class? How many weeks, and hours per day?2. How difficult is the exam for licensure?3. What are the costs--for the course and the license itself?4. Given the demand of the career, is it possible to be a real estate agent while attending college (I will be taking two classes at a time--one during the week at night and one on saturday morning).I would appreciate any honest opinion!Thanks!!!

what I did before i took my exam.. i wrote 500 resumes..that I was interested in working as an assistant........I took all 500 resumes to each real estate office nearby and put a resume in each realtors mailbox.. i got 2 replies immediately and worked out some hours with 2 busy high producing realtors.. i was then able to decide if this was the position I wanted or not...... a friend of mine did the same thing..(a very very well educated lady)......and she was hired immediately..and did mostly spell checking for a high producer.. you get to see the job personally then...........and decide if that is what you want......

Q:I want to learn to art of real estate investing with no money down.

The Government has temporally slowed the downward spiral of truly property expenses by way of enacting residence purchaser credit and different tax incentives, however the decline will begin once more whilst the ones systems expire and foreclosure begin once more, this time considering the home-owner has misplaced his/her task.

Q:In California, the commission to real estate salespersons is generally 6% (3% to selling agent + 3% to buying agent). After the real estate salesperson (either selling / buying agent) gets his 3%, how much does the broker keep and how much does the salesperson himself keep? I was told that broker keeps 60% and salesperson keeps 40% - Is that true?Also, how does a salesperson go about picking which broker to associate with? What kind of training does broker provide?

Q:Ok so right now I'm 16 and i have an interest in real estate and also in a side job. I'm going to be attending college in a couple years to get some minor degrees such as building, business, mechanical, and drafting. And i was wondering if being a real estate agent would be appropriate for me right now. I know now's not the best time to sell. But if i sell one (1) small property, that would pay as much as i get in a year at my little call in part time job. I also am friends with many of the Realtors around the local area, so i know that would help. So my question is, would this be a suitable job for someone like me? Is there an age requirement? Does it take more the two semesters to get your license? And is this a full-time, hands-on, type job?Thanks!

I don't think you can legally work at 16 without a permit of some type. I am also sure that many real estate agents in your city that you know would be glad to have you as an apprentice. This will expose you to a lot about the real estate field. Your duties would be mostly that of a gofer, go take this document to the boss, go run this off at the copy machine, go email this to our new buyer or seller. You could also answer the telephone and direct the call to the appropriate individual. In doing this you would earn valuable experience and terminology in the real estate field. this would help prepare you for your state real estate exam, ensuring you a better chase to pass. By all means complete your college and get your degree. This will be very valuable in your future endeavors. This your foundation. While there you might take courses in the real estate field, thus giving you a better shot at taking your real estate exam and being successful the first time. There are many ways to obtain your state real estate license. #1 There are on line real estate courses #2 There are courses where you attend class over a certain period of time to prepare you for taking the state real estate exam. #3 There are 1-2 day cram courses offered by real estate schools that would prepare you for taking the state real estate exam. #4 You may attend your local community or 4 year college taking real estate course leading up to taking your state real estate exam. #5 Some of your major franchise real estate offices offer free courses that would prepare you to take your state real estate exam. You have to select the one that best fit your schedule and ability to learn. If you simply are interested in the investment end of the real estate industry a real estate license is not required. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON

Q:I would like to transiton my carrer from food service to becoming a real estate agent. I wanted to find out how hard this field is to get into and to be succesfull

It is possible. The classes only cost $350. Then you interview at a few offices. You can be working in 30 days. It is a fun career and you are surrounded by nice people. You never get a salary. You only make money if you sell a house. Very stressful at times.

Q:i have a presentation in my real estate class, on REIT'S(real estate investment trusts.) i need to know good ways to present the powerpoint presentation. And good examples. Because another group did the same thing..and we have to top then. So what would be a good way to make it a better presentation.

It is critical that you focus valuation on FFO and AFFO. Clearly, you want a measure of financial performance that is not distorted by gains on sales or overly harsh depreciation. Good Luck From Invest in REITs website: The REIT industry also uses Funds From Operations (FFO) as a supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of most property and depreciation of real estate. When real estate companies use FFO in public releases or SEC filings, the law requires them to reconcile FFO to GAAP net income. Many real estate professionals as well as investors believe that commercial real estate maintains residual value to a much greater extent than machinery, computers or other personal property. Therefore, they view the depreciation measure used to arrive at GAAP net income as generally overstating the economic depreciation of REIT property assets and the actual cost to maintain and replace these assets over time, which may in fact be appreciating. Thus, FFO excludes real estate depreciation charges from periodic operating performance. Many securities analysts judge a REIT’s performance according to its Adjusted FFO (AFFO), thereby deducting certain recurring capital expenses from FFO.
