Thanks for sharing this video. Everything you are saying is exactly the life I'm living now. I have a full-time W2 job, I got my license a year and half ago with a goal of buying rental properties for ourselves and helping friends and families. I've been doing 1 deal per quarter. It's great, but it is a ton of work. I also have 5 rental units; 2 being mid-term rentals. We manage everything ourselves. Juggling it all has been very overwhelming. Its time to take a step back and maybe hand some of the work over to a property management company to help balance life. Its good to know that others are in the same boat.

Im thinking about jumping in the real estate game business is pretty steady in my area but i own a business thats fairly new so im definitely considering the part time route for now this video has been quite informative thanks for sharing your experience bro!

I’m part time at CWB you get 100% of your commission if you gross 21k in commissions (this is before any splits btw!!) but I’ve done 5 deals this year so far. I make a good income with my full time job and it’s been great! The extra income is pretty nice

😂😂. You make it sound soooo awful. But thanks for sharing.

I’m headed to Oklahoma and going to give Real Estate a shot buddy. Very encouraging video. Thank you!

this is the most honest, video I've seen on being a part-time agent I've seen it's very difficult to prospect as a full-time employee I've closed on two deals from family. I think if you can afford to spend money on marketing as a 9-5 employee it goes a long way

sure no kids, no responsibilities, no dependants, no debt, f course but its not the normal life. dedicate your life and time and work all thetime ...what kind of life is that>

Thanks for this video and setting realistic expectations

I’m thinking of going this direction for health insurance purposes

I'm considering a part-time venture into RE - however I'm in dissagreement with some of this experiences. Why would I prospect 8-5 pm when most ppl who in the market to sell or purschase a home - working? I would say if you work a 9-5 FT job where you are flexible where you can field a few calls or text messages andemails - that would go a long way to a successful part-time startup. Leave prospecting to evenings and schedule your appointments for weekends/evenings.

Do you still do real estate

Why you stop doing videos

Thanks for the honesty

Taking their courses since they are apparently the only appraisal licensing group as of 2023. Holy crap I wished there was another group. Took the $2K course live stream since I tend to over study and focus on things that aren't need sometimes. The books go at nusiame over one topic and speak little on the other topics. There were times I questioned why would a appraiser need to know this ? Why would I need to know all the details about mineral rights in great detail? Only about half of the info gone over was on the first test. The secound test had a a quarter of that going over minute details that don't seem to relate at all to appraising; It was mostly paragraph long questions that seemed suited for a seasoned appraiser rather then a trainee. My folks who have been appraisers for two decades have been have said they don't understand why some of these topic's are needed for apprasing. If they weren't the only group around I would go there and atleast have a fighting chance with someone else. Good video, hopefully those other courses are around and I'm just wrong. In short: Do not take the streaming class and you will have to take the tests multiple times. If there is another company to take courses go to them.

I am part time as well @ KW. I've managed to get four deals closed since starting July of '22. My full-time job has some flexibility most of the time. My wife is looking for a new job that pays enough with decent benefits where I can transition over to RE 100%.

Thank you for sharing

Great video. I been an agent in Ca for 1 year. Sold my first home this pass April. And did 1 rental. I work full time and I do real estate part time. I have the flexibility at my job but you are so right. It’s not easy but it can work. Thanks for sharing

Another full-time worker here, great video, and you're currently doing what I aspire to do. Quick question: My goal is to obtain a realtor license primarily to use my commissions as a down payment for my initial home purchase and potentially invest in property down the line. Do brokers typically expect agents to actively chase leads every day, or would it be feasible for me to focus on transactions I'm interested in, such as my own home purchase and occasionally assisting friends and family?

Good info thanks

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m curious, do you think a realtor business could be sustainable and consistent as a secondary income while working as a firefighter who works 24 hour shifts but gets 21-22 days off a month?

Good Video! I’m about graduate and start teaching public school. Unfortunately these days teaching won’t really allow me to support a family without secondary income.

Sorry, but don't think this is a very good "con" list. You're basically saying it's hard (i.e. don't want to track your own expenses, keep up with your LLC filings annually, etc.) when it really isn't. You just need to stay on top of a few things and you're set.

Great content! 🎉

Thanks for being so honest and raw!

I was given the idea of being a part time showing agent. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for all the honest facts. I am a full time employee and part time agent as well (new agent) and having a hard time getting started.

You should know everything already when it comes to recertifying, also its only $140 for a yearly subscription and it has all the required courses you need. Once you get those done , you can select what you want to learn to fulfill your electives/elective hours, there are more then a few courses that are videos, you can even select broker courses or very in-depth and challenging courses. Further more you will still have access to hundreds of courses you don't need.

I have been thinking about this for 2 or 3 years now keep my full time job and do real estate on weekends to see if I can make it.

I have a full time job with part time in real estate. It really is super hard but I gotta just keep pushing

I have a full-time job, trying to get my license and just do weekends. Hopefully, that works out for me.

Thanks for sharing! My wife and I are getting licensed with similar goals. Although she wants to be a full-time agent, I'm more focused on building our portfolio and serving maybe a couple of clients a year. This answered some questions for sure.

Love the transparency here!! It definitely isn’t all sunshine and rainbows

Great video. I was wrestling with this issue before. Thankfully my job is flexible enough that I’m able to handle business as needed

Thanks bunches for being so honest, all those years ago people said you had to quit your job to do it or anything in life, just to go and fail and have nothing to fall back on. I think it was some people's way of hoping they could get you into prostitution, pimps brainwashing 🫡🤔

It’s that nice everything turned good, thank you for sharing your experience! Good luck to your business!

Are you representing yourself as a part-time agent? Or are you working under a brokerage?

This is the video I needed to see! Thank you for just talking casually about your thought processes and realistically about the balance you’ve found!

Hey, I'm in the Tulsa area, Skiatook, and thinking about applying for real estate school, currently looking at Real Estate Express but want to look around some more. I was just wondering where you take the actual test at when the time comes.

Great video. I have a good full time 6 figure job that I wont let go that easily, but I have started a real estate investing journey. I am starting pre-licensing course on Monday to get my real estate license. My plan is pretty much what you are currently doing. I’d like to know what you think are some of the things having a real estate license benefit your personal real estate investing. Thanks.

I'm going through the same thing

I am also working full-time in the city! Glad I was able to get some intake from you. Currently in the process of obtaining my license.

I think going straight to filing as an S-Corp was an overkill?

So pros are all good things and the cons are that it’s hard lol

I agree. It’s a crappy platform and you’re not likely to learn very much. In fact, some of the information you’re taught is just plain wrong or irrelevant . It IS cheap, but still not worth it unless you’re desperate to get some quick CEUs.

setup a SMLLC，all your cons will gone

What I heard this guy is just lazy and rather pay more in taxes lol. No wonder he probably failed.

I'm currently going through so much burnout, I've been having a mental breakdown about once month. It's tough, I work from about 430am-1pm from Tuesday-Saturday. I do open houses, door knocking and cold calls. I'm really just trying to find a formula and schedule where I'm not a wreck.

too bad wow people have to pay bills mortgages where are they living?? parents basement? u have to do it part time until u have a bunch of money in the bank...better yet NEVER work a job thats commission based period

thank you!! this is exactly what I was looking for. I've been licensed since the late 90's so I know this stuff. Actually annoyed I have to keep rehashing the same crap every 4 years. I was something quick and easy to satisfy the inane requirements.

I want to get licensed. This is completely outside of my field. I have no marketing experience but am desperate for a career change. I work as a Registered behavior Technician full time during the day. I also want to go back to school. I often wonder if i am being unrealistic or putting to much on myself in wanting to learn about real estate. I would like to eventually ease my way in full time while studying.. What are the best online training courses out there ? I am in Georgia.. Thanks for posting. This is very encouraging.
