What is everyones opinion on becoming a part time realestate agent? I work full time job but would work with a partnet who also has a full time position... I am not looking to make career of but to make some money on the side while also learning more about industry. Perhaps could lead to something more down the road.

What about something related to such as Real Estate Appasier or something else that people need whenever they move. I live in the Hoboken/Jersey City area (Northern New Jersey) which is somewhat on the boom as of now...
It's a watered down set of I.T. based tests that used to mean something.
Now, every unemployed plumber and roofer that can read and spew back good
on tests gets one, and then wants a high paying job in the I.T industry..
If you can read like 5 study guide books and within a few days toss back some facts and procedures from them on a test... yes
There are even camps where you can go, study and take the tests all in
one shot..
Practical experience is the piece that is missing and why many I.T. managers won't hire new MCSE or other cert holders without years of actual work outside of entry level positions
I have my MCSE but with 5 years exp I am a systems engineer currently and am in the process of building my real estate business. Sys eng is feeding me and paying the bills but I hope that will change in the next year. It takes time and hard fuckin work if you wanna make money at it. It isn;t really something you can do part time because of the amount of money you spend on licensing, marketing, continuing education,office rent or whatever the broker makes you pay.
I met a Broker on the Texas Broker-Lawyer Committee (6 Brokers & 6 Lawyers) that produces all the promulgated forms Texas Realtors use, has his own Keller Williams office with about 250 employees too.
He said they have been saying the market is saturated with realtors since 1980, and that 80% of the money goes to 15% of the people in this business, it did back then and it still does today. Tough business to go into part-time - especially with no connections.
