re: Thoughts on real estate as a profession

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.
