Are you a hot chick with big tits? If not you're already at a severe disadvantage

I understand that men are at a pretty big disadvantage in the field...not sure whether that is valid or not, though...

Depends on your location and your level of work ethic. Also, residential vs commercial makes a difference. You can make less than a teacher or be an OT Baller depending on these factors

I've met people who do very well in it. I'm talking 250k+ (OT standard of course). It's not something that grabs a lot of respect and lot of people see the profession as unnecessary. If you don't care about feeling important then go for it if you think are good at sales.

You might want to consider becoming an appraiser. The demand for their services is great and they make good money. I deal in rural real estate and sometimes wonder if I should have followed a different career path when I see what appraisers are paid.

Very very very few make the big bucks. You probably won't be one of them

Thoughts on, sure. What about...thoughts...off?

It's not easy, and most people fail miserably, but they don't really try either. To succeed in real estate, you have to be willing to give it one, two or even three years of constant effort before it pays off.
But when it does pay off, it pays off big.
My father went full time in 1998 after retiring from coaching. Since then, his worst year was $98,000 after expenses. Typically he does better than a quarter million in commissions per year. My mother is about the same.
They work their asses off, but they are well compensated.
If you have a strong work ethic and self-discipline, you can make a fantastic living. If not, you'll burn out and probably lose your arse in the process.
ETA: Since it's the OT, I would be remiss if I left out the amount of hot MILF pussy that gets thrown your way at least once a week. So many lonely housewives...so little time.

Real estate isn't a "profession", it's a hobby for privileged stay at home moms. It's just something you can do so you can pretend like you're not unemployed.

how big are your boobs?

I had a realtor recently tell me that they would be pretty much extinct by 2025 as a result of web/ social media based sales.

Yes. Buy as much real estate as posible using OPM. Commercial is what I like. Tax deduct as a real estate professional. Profit.
Do your homework.

Only the top 1% make money.

As far as selling it, flipping it or renting it?
Posted on 3/3/15 at 8:53 am to Biggereztiger
I know some very successful real estate guys, but simply selling real estate isn't their only job...they sell a lot of land their family has owned, have a lot of rentals, develop houses that they sell, etc.

It is not a profession. Those of us here that are true professionals take offense.
Unneeded, worthless job. Parasites who couldn't / wouldn't invest time in real jobs.
(This is directed more at residential)
