Every state has their possess requisites. Most comprise a required direction passing a scan. This can occur as speedily once you graduate as you'll take move the direction. There also are a few direction costs licensing costs to keep in mind. FYI: Real property is NOT rapid cash! There are plenty of presently certified sellers no longer making any cash correct now. A truly property profession within the present marketplace is NOT prone to pay for subsequent years institution school. EDIT: NO, being a truly property agent does no longer require any formal schooling. You with ease have got to take a direction authorised through your state.

Q:Im 21 and this summer of 09 i want to get my real estate license for my summer break im thinking about attending champions in dallas but can i get some info like on the main courses i really need to take ?

I don't know about Texas; I live and got my real estate license in Virginia. But what you should do is contact one or more major real estate companies near where you are. Many/most will offer licensing courses. They know the topics that must be covered; they know the hours needed to get you qualified to take the test. Many community colleges also offer the courses. One tip: Take a total immersion course. I did it over a 4-week period--three evenings a week and most of each Saturday. If I hadn't had a full-time job, I could have done it in about 10 days. There's a lot of stuff that's covered that just won't stick with you. If you spread the lessons out over, say, 4 months, you just won't remember enough. Also, there are a number of reasonably affordable (something like $69 or so) computer disk review courses. Buy them. They're slick. They really do resemble the actual test. And you can determine your strengths and weaknesses. Hope that helps.

Q:I thinking to study accounting in college.I would like to do real estate business by myself and I'm not sure if accounting career can fit with my future.What's your opinion? I want to buy properties to rent.

you will need a job that pays you enough to have extra money and earnings to qualify to buy investment properties - don't count on being able to invest in such property for quite a while - rental properties REQUIRE at least a 20% down payment plus more cash for closing costs and you will be lucky to make $100/mo profit and most of that money should be put aside for major repairs like a roof or plumbing

Q:I want to get into the real estate game. possibly start a real estate business. One major I think I could do is entrepreneurial studies, but alot of colleges dont offer that. Is there anything else besides Business Administration i could major in? or is real estate a concentration of business?

You should buiy a property and rent it out. That's more education than you'll get from real estate courses at college, trust me. Good luck, hero!

Q:I would already have an Illinois Real Estate license if that makes any difference.

Check with the State agency regulating Real Estate License. There might be a reciprocity agreement between Texas and Illinois. If so it might be a simple matter of presenting your Illinois license to the regulating agency. If not, it might require less training than if you had no license at all.

Q:I am just working on becoming licensed as a real estate agent in Michigan, I have found 2 brokerages that I really like and am working on narrowing it down to 1, any tips as I begin this career I have full researched it and know the risks and the disadvantages. Any ideas for marketing, or anything else that may be helpful? Would like to hear from some expierenced agents. Thanks!

I just retired in Michigan from real estate sales since 1976. The last four years I became an appraiser, using my background in sales to succeed. I loved doing both. Right now, in Michigan, as you probably already know, real estate is not the best profession to get into. Appraising isn't either. Where I live, in the northern part of the mitten, it's the worst ever. Realtors here are delivering pizzas at night to make ends meet. You certainly will need a backup income in this business, since its totally commission-based. I wouldn't consider it at all right now, with all the expenses you will need to start, you'll be in the hole a long time. Wait until the trend changes...sorry, but that's just the way I see it.

Q:Located in Florida now.After hours of reading, it seems the more certifications/licenses you have the better (as opposed to working your way up)Step 1 is attaining the following:- Florida Real Estate License- Florida Real Estate Appraisal License- Florida Real Estate Brokers License (Don't really see the point of this one)- CCIM Designation- (someone even mentioned a mortgage brokers license)And obviously in between read as much as I can on the field.After attaining these licenses, do I simply apply to work for a company?Should I try to get a job as soon as I get my basic license and get the others on the side over time, or is it best to get ALL of them ASAP and hit the ground running?Any advice here? I really want to make this happen, but it's a bit cloudy at this point and I would really appreciate some help.

It is usually a RE salespersons license followed by a brokers license. You can obtain the salespersons one yourself but you must work under a broker for at least a period of one year before you can get your brokers license. You need to look up your states requirements before you do anything else.

Q:Is the real estate business the same as it used to be (1980-90)? I'm 18 and am wondering about future career aspects. Ive considered Database Administration, commerce, or getting a bba, or marketing. I like the idea of you are as successful as you want to be type attitude. I live in Vancouver (Canada) which is like miami, where people come to that have made money to spend money. What is the life style like and how does one succeed in this area. If I started right after highschool, would I be taken seriously, or would someone pass me off as a kid. What is the typical salary, as I understand that it really does depend on how many deals you close but if your successful, the sky must be the limit correct? In the first 6 months, how do you spend your time, meet and greet, office runs? Is there one field in real estate that pays more? Can an Agent become a broker or vica versa. How many agents a year lose their jobs due to saturation. Is there any reading material that can help me?Many thanks.

The quality course to soak up this enterprise is: one million. Read books approximately truly property, exceptionally at the locations you wish to be aware of. two. Try to get an internship, mentor, or paintings at a industrial RE brokerage and achieve palms-on revel in. Just a aspect tip, determine in which they're gambling golfing. Socialize and community. These are the highest 2 priorities for your record if you are significantly short of to gain knowledge of what to do. Getting licenses is handiest step one and school room time is useful handiest to a factor.

Q:Im really interested in working in the real-estate, and get my license. Im interested in being independent and to run my own business and to have a better flexible schedule because now days im working from day to night at the same boring place and i dont see me living my life like this.Im really interested in the real-estate and i want to know the process of being a real-estate agent, how much money i could make and how is the is the life style and working schedule of working of a real-estate agent.

Real estate is often day and night work including weekends. You can work 30 hours on a deal that doesn't go through. Agents first get a license and have to hang it under a real estate agency which usually ranges $50 - $1,000 per month (for a big company that might pass you some leads) and to be an independent agent where you can avoid those monthly fees and commission splits means another exam that costs more. Some brokers eventually make $1 Million while others make zero and quit. It's sales so you have to like dealing with those who try to beat you up on your commission to working with buyers who turn out not to be qualified and on and on. It's a very interesting profession.

Q:and which is a better career to pursue out of the two , and are there any colleges for real estate?

A real estate agent finds you a house or property and finds a buyer for you. A real estate investor will find a house or property that they want to buy to rent out or turn around and sell for a profit. Difference, real estate agent has no interest in the property itself, just the seller and buyer...the investor has interest in the property...makes sense?
