Real Estate: People can relate to real estate easily as it is an appreciable and tangible asset. There are two main types of real estate: commercial and residential. Investing in real estate is not easy as it is not monotonous. A thorough analysis of the pros and cons of investing in various types of real estate must be done (A separate topic of discussion by itself) before deciding how we are going to make money out of real estate.

Q:does a real estate construct their houses?do they have a construction company to contract?are they the ones who design their houses?can their contract construction company design and supply their raw materials?

Generally speaking a real estate company lists and sells real estate. Some do property management for people also. To construct homes they have to have a builders license. Architects design the homes unless they used floor plans which are purchased from someone or the buyer brings his own floor plans. The builder can contract with whoever gives his the best price for the best materials needed for the project. That is determined by the builder if he is going to build the home then sell it or the person who hires the builder to build his home. Some real estate companies have builders and mortgage companies that are part of their companies but that is not required.

Q:can you withdrawl a real estate contract prior to closing in North Carolina without penalty?

Hi. Are you working with a Realtor? If you are, then you should let your Realtor know that you need to withdraw. Have you signed off on the home inspection yet? If you haven't, then you have your out without penalty. (Of course, you need to find something wrong!) If you have signed off on the home inspection, have you gone thru the appraisal from the bank yet? In some cases, if a home appraises for less than purchase price, and even with a 20 percent down payment, banks will not finance an over-priced home. Truly, your best bet is to let your Realtor know that you need to withdraw and see if your Realtor can help. If not, pay an attorney who specializes in real estate law, his/her hourly rate, and have the attorney go over the contract and advise you as to how to proceed. Good Luck!

Q:Do I need to graduate high school to be eligible for a license and career in the Real Estate Industry? I am almost 17, in 10th grade and school is extremely difficult for me. I am pretty sure I won't be able to graduate do to how demanding and hard the work is. I was hoping to be an agent seeing as it's just the perfect job for me and my personalty. I am also interested in design. The only problem is, I know I'm smart and I have great business skills/techniques. It's just the things they require us to learn these days is so unnecessary I don't see the point. So anyways, I live in Seattle Washington, if that matters, and was curious to see if maybe I have the slightest chance of being successful one day.

You can get a real estate salesperson's license in Washington without a high school diploma, but you must be 18 years of age. You do need a high school diploma or equivalent to get a broker's license. The licensing is probably the easy part. However, finding an employer might be more difficult. As a broker, I would never even consider hiring a licensed salesperson who was a high school dropout unless they already had a well-established and successful career. P.S. There's a lot of stuff I had to learn during my brokers' coursework that is totally irrelevant to my field of practice (for example, I had to learn a lot about commercial and industrial real estate, even though I had no interest in that field). If what you're learning now in school is so unnecessary [you] don't see the point, you'll be disappointed to learn that there is plenty of that in training for a career in real estate too.

Q:I was having a discussion with someone and we were discussing careers. I said that the best field to go into is medicine because you have potential to make millions of dollars, think about it, if you are a simple chemistry major who works in a lab and creates a drug or something that is very useful, there you go. I know that is a fairly vague example but you get my point. My friend said I should go into real estate because I am money hungry with isn't true but I do want to be a millionaire which isn't uncommon and I will be rich one day. Anyway, down to the point. Simply, how DO people in the real estate business rack in millions of dollars? I would assume you have to own your real estate business but that means millions of dollars that need to be there. How do some of these people in this field go from nothing to everything? Oh, and please no flaming, even though it is probably inevitable.

The fees are company, however that's why they pass to foreclosures as a substitute of promoting. I had been following our marketplace, and residences that promote, have a tendency to promote for 10-20% scale back than asking, and that is if asking rate is already a discount. Prices stayed prime right here (Phoenix) for almost a 12 months, so for a at the same time the papers stated that the marketplace used to be steady in rate, however extra residences saved coming in the marketplace at the same time earnings stayed low. I believe that there shall be an uptick as fees come down, however individuals are simply now coming round to the reality that they are going to now not truthfully produce a sale until they take much less cash, and increasingly individuals are seling for not up to they paid, and even for much less fairness than they've. The endure marketplace is a ripple end result of the truly property marketplace, so they're proper now falling off the cliff hand in hand. I believe that the inventory marketplace will upgrade first. I believe the offers coupled with the low significance of the greenback will begin getting the concentration of international discount hunters. They are much less desirous about personal houses in a international nation than in shares, because of the liquidity disorders.

Q:I was hoping some other ontario real estate agents would share how they got started, what they put in, and what they got out of their careers.

Not a real estate agent, nor do I know where you are in Ontario, but in Windsor, the housing market is in a pretty serious downfall. In my neighbourhood, there are a lot of houses for sale, but that's mainly because of the massive layoffs from GM/Ford/Chrysler--the highest employers by far. I actually bought a house a little less than a month ago for $220,000, when the original price was $280,000. The real estate agent said that the house was for sale for about 4 weeks, and she had been dropping the price by $10,000 every week--the people selling the house were also in a rush to move, so she accepted a low price. The economy will pickup again soon though, because it's not the first time that this has happened. I'd say in a couple of months, some positive signs will appear, and within 2-3 years, the economy will be more or less where it was a couple of years ago.
