Jodie Capella: 1)Reading books on the topic is a good idea. But, don't expect to get what you need entirely from books. 2)Going to real estate school and getting your license will help you understand the transaction process and it will save you a little money down the road on real estate commisssions since you can do your own transactions, but it is not a requirement. And, it will most likely not help you learn to make good investment decisions. For that, you need some hands on training. 3)For hands on training, I recommend you find other investors in your community and offer to find properties for them to purchase for a fee. This involves none of your own money, but will allow you to earn a little bit while you are learning to find good properties and getting the hang of knowing how much to pay for them. Good LUCK http://www.guptapromoters.com/gurgaon-property/dlf......Show more

Gerardo Greist: There are lot’s of things that I wish I knew before starting in real estate. What they don’t tell you about real estate is a presentation that came from hundreds of conversations tha! t I have had with agents and brokers across the nation. Workin! g in real estate is a multifaceted career. One part industry expert, one part marketer, one part sales person, one part negotiator, one part tech support and lots of hard work. The bad news is: there is no silver bullet. The good news is: with consistency, focus, and some marketing smarts, you can create a good living as a real estate professional. There are very few industries where you can broker the sale of such big ticket items without years and years of experience. I would love to hear your thoughts on what it takes to get started and become successful in real estate.What to Expect. Treat real estate as a profession, not a hobby Focus on both leads and listings, buyers and sellers Put in the hours Remember that you are an entrepreneur Be open to clients and opportunities at all times Measure and evaluate your performance Set concrete, time-specific goals for improvement areas Research trends, practices, and conventions in your local market Kn! ow that you may work weekends Have some savings to live on for the first 6 months Be a cheerleader for what you do Start prospecting and don’t stop Use a CRM Invest in your business and in your education Consider a real estate coach Do the stuff no one else wants to do Work harder than your competitionBuild Your Network Get involved in your community Join your local realtor’s association Get to know public officials Volunteer Join a mastermind group Participate at your child’s school Join the board of an organization you care about Treat everyone you meet as a potential client Use a personal touch to stay connected with former clients Maintain a presence online Preserve your reputation by focusing on quality, not quantity Embrace your personality Promote causes and organizations you believe in Be friendly, but professional Build and keep up relationships with coworkers Seek mentors, share concerns!

An Cardine: There is a class you have to take (a specific class) to get a real estate license. Your college may offer it, but if not find someone who does (may be able to take it online), take it, learn the info throughly, and then take the state and federal licensing exams. If you pass those (can retake them as needed, they are fairly hard) you ca get a license. Once you pass those find a real esate broker you want to deal with (I'd stick with a deep discount broker if you are do! ing this part time) and start selling. Note that just holding an activ! e license will probably run you a few 1000 dollars per year, money you'd make back in commisisions on one sale/ purchase but money that is gone if you never sell/ buy anything so don't activate your license until you are ready to do some work (if you pass the exams but don't activate your license you may have to retake them after some period of time has elapsed)...Show more
Sharie Sommerville: what do you want to do in real estate? if you want to sell you will need to take a course and get registered to do that unless you work under a brokeryou would do well to complete college even if you change your course of study
Chauncey Williama: There are a few things you might consider if you would want to enter the real estate investment field.#1 Join a local real estate investment groups. Google real estate investment group followed by the city and state in which you reside.Being a part of the local real estate investment group would give you first hand knowledge of i! ndividuals that have purchased real estate investment properties. You could possibly find a mentor that would assist you in the buying of properties. The real estate investment group members would validate the information you would learn in your books. This group would also be instrumental in informing you of alternative means of obtaining investment funds.#2 Purchase several books on the subject ofA. Buying and rehab of distressed propertyB. Being a landlordC. Short sale and foreclosuresThese books will give you a working knowledge of real estate investing. You might find these books at your local book stores as well as on Amazon. There are many other books that you would need to purchase as your business grow and expand. You would want to purchase books published after 2009.3. Join the local Apartment Housing AssociationThis organization would give you information, rental forms, eviction forms, vanilla legal information, a means of screening potential tenants.You need nee! d not join this organization until you have need of them.You might want! to continue your college degree, as any additional knowledge with a degree is normally desirable for your resume. Your current chosen field of study would be of great help to you in any career field you would eventually decide to go into, especially the real estate investment field.Keep in mind to be in the real estate investment field you are not required to have a real estate license. In having a real estate broker license, whenever you make a purchase of a property from someone you would be required to insert a clause in the purchase contract, that you are a licensed real estate agent. Some sellers might consider you as having more knowledge and would not want to do business with you, also they might feel as if you would be taking advantage of them. In some instances a real estate license might not be of any help at all. I find a real estate license a hindrance. You might want to take a few real estate classes while still in college, there would be many things you would! be able to learn in taking these basic courses.I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck."FIGHT ON"...Show more
