Is there any one way to do it? Do you just have to have a well paying job and just go from there? Can you major in something like Real Estate Developing or Land Development or something along those lines? I’m interested in becoming a developer for cities and such, but I’m not sure if this is realistic, and how one goes about becoming a developer. Thanks!

I am looking to buy a house and want to know what the real estate appreciation rates are. This will also help me make better choices when going to finance the house.

At first i was thinking of becoming a residential real estate agent but then, someone told me about commercial real estate and i was wondering would that be a better career choice and does it work the same as residential. If so, that would be major commision on a $40 million building and that would be a better route i would love to take.

Im a complete novice to buying real esate. Ive put in two bids on properties that were not accepted and the search continues. My question is Ive been working with a guy that showed me the intial house and has just basically shown up and showed me subsequent properties, doesnt know much of anything and doesnt add much value to the process other than changing the offer sheets to new addresses and submitting. Offers very little in terms of research etc but is constantly asking me what my thoughts are about things in hoping I resubmit a new bid I’m assuming with the hopes of catching a commision he will split with the listing agent.
What if anything can you expect from a realtor other than fax the offer and show up and say/do absolutely nothing and wait for the commision when/if its accepted. I have to admit they have been pretty useless to me so far

Over a year ago, I wrote on Agentsonline.com about real estate values heading lower, and was met with bitter criticism.
It turns out I was right.
If you are open minded and have real estate esperience like I do, then I want to clear the air, once and for all, on several much bandied about real esate quips…like..
1. They’re not making any more land. (False…so much vacant land in terrible places around, and technology can build anything on surface, under ground, in the oceans or in air)
2. Property located near water (lakes, streams,coast, etc.) much more valueable and desireable than other property. (However, if earth cliamate changes as expected, what will these properties look like and how desirable????…and what about those sitting twenty miles inland that will be the new coastal areas????)
See, I’ve heard advice here about buying now, even with falling prices going on, because it will shoot right back up soon.
What do you think?
Smudge…I don’t know what to believe with climate change, because I keep an open mind. When they feed me images of starving polar bears and melting ice, I still can’t totally believe until the oceans expand…then I’ll believe.
…because falling skyscapers still didn’t make a believer out of me.
…and I’m not about to jump into buying real estate now because I do BELIEVE they overbuilt…which is what capitalism tends to do…too much in excess…you know, supply/demand.

I am 22 years old and looking to get in the commercial real estate industry, preferably the leasing aspect. What would be fundamentally required for a person as young as me to be even considered for a job in a large commercial real estate firm? Considering I have a real estate agents license, what else would be needed or would interest a company in hiring someone so young? In other words, how can I get my foot in such an industry, thus giving me a chance to work my way up?

I am interested in going into real estate when I finish college and have been looking around at schools. Century 21 offers their own course (3 weeks) and another real estate company offers one for 6 weeks while the community college offers one for 8 months that trains you how to appraise and broker as well as just getting your license to sell.
Which program is best and what is the difference between being a real estate agent (seller) and a broker?
The costs range from $600-$2500

I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set.
My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property - most importantly about the flooding - and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it - it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don’t think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me - she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?
I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.

Does anyone know of any real estate investing courses that really help you make money in today’s crazy market? I don’t want to pay for stuff that doesn’t work any more.
