Q:what is the best real estate school for a business student in michigan (metro detroit area) ? (not really interested in online courses)

Wow, is your timing terrible. Whether or now not you've gotten knowledge as a realtor, and I'm definite you may also, MIchigan's truly property marketplace proper now is also the worst within the nation. Think of all of the jobs and industries being misplaced to your field and the volume of empty housing and business estate within the neighborhood. Unless you are in Ann Arbor, wherein I'm definite there are already a glut of realtors, I'd uncover an extra field or state to paintings from.

Q:Ok I am working on getting my real estate license what are some ways to break into the Real Estate world other than becoming an apartment Leasing Consultant.

I don't know what real estate courses you're taking, but I recommend you stop because it sounds like you're not learning the fundamentals. EVERYONE knows that lease consulting is not the way to enter real estate. Most people enter it (with a license) to become a salesperson who SELLS real estate. Why would you enter it directly into property management or consulting if you don't have anyone to hire you for it (most of those people work for property management companies). You would enter it selling real estate. You will most likely start by helping realtors do open houses and ensuring an agreement is made between the two of you, you might get a cut of the sale, or keep the leads generated at open houses etc. That will be a good starting off point (I picked up two clients both looking to buy and one of them to sell as well with a budget of $1 Million to start). Or you can work as a licensed assistant as part of a team where you could be paid on salary or salary plus bonus or purely commission based. There's so many ways to approach real estate and you should delve deeper since your course doesn't do that for you.

Q:Thinking about getting a real estate license, but I don't even know what to major in community college yet.. Any ideas?? Maybe a major that's related to real estate... Oh and one last question.. I'm thinking of dropping my collaborative statistics class because i don't know if it has to do with anything, is this needed in any way??

Business Management related-course. Perhaps marketing management or perhaps, if there are any, course that majors in Real Estate Management. Good luck! =)

Q:What would be the name for a job of a person who buys homes, fixes them up, and sells them for a profit?Also, can you tell me if this job, and being a real estate broker/agent would be a good combination of work considering agents/brokers are really part time jobs?

You will not be disappointed as you will be the first to decide wether or not I deserve a testimonial from you to be listed on my upcoming website before it becomes public information.

Q:I used the agent to sell my house and he took to to some houses I was interested in buying. I signed a contract with him but want to know this. If I found a house on my own and went there and the agent never showed me the house (although he did send it to me after we looked at it) can I buy the house and cut the agent out of the commission even if I was in a contract. The seller will move on price more if we do not have an agent as it is a new home?

It is far better that you wait according to the contract you signed, other wise the agents lawyer will make your life miserable for a long time.

Q:anybody know a ballpark amount that a real estate agent charges in general, not based on region/area?

Real estate commissions are negotiatable. But, if you you try to negotiate too low, you will reduce the chances for a sale. In the vast majority of cases two offices are involved with the sale. The listing office and the selling office. If your listing agent doesn't offer a reasonable split with the selling office your property won't get shown. Accept whatever is the norm for your area. realtor.sailor

Q:I want to be a mortgage loan officer. Do I need my real estate license right now or can I do loans without it?

It’s not likely and I would not recommend that you hold both licenses at the same time. It just opens the doors to conflicts of interest. I could personally never work with just one person to both act as my buyer’s agent and lender. The thought scares the crap out of me!

Q:how to become a real estate ?

How to become real estate? Well, when you die, make sure that you get buried. Eventually your body will decay and become part of the soil, in which case you become real estate. :)

Q:how much would someone need to start investing in homes .and if a operson buys and rents out that house what would be the next step.i really would like to learn about real-estate.

A good rule of thumb when it comes to investing in real estate is to try and break even. It used to be that if you put 20% down towards the purchase price, you could break even or possibly have a little positive cash flow at the end of the month. If you do buy a place and then rent it out, the next step would be to either borrow some equity against you rental property (if you have any equity that you could borrow and still break even) or you can list the house for sale and invest in a 2-4 unit place. It's good to invest in mid-range areas. Higher end places tend to be more owner occupied, meaning less tenants and the lower end neighborhoods, you may be at risk for housing prices to decline more than they will in the nicer areas. We are in a very interesting real estate market right now, be sure that the Realtor and lender you are working with have your best interests in mind and that they both have good business track records. You can check at the Department of Real Estate to see whether or not they have had any problems in the past. Hope this helps...Oh yeah, don't do any short term-ARM loans, especially the negative-amortization loans.
