Can most real estate agents help their clients with foreclosed properties, or do they usually just stick to listings with home owners? We’re looking into buying, but are on a limited budget, and want to look more closely into foreclosures. Thanks.

Hi, I’m interested in becomming a real estate developer. I have the funding so loans are not a problem. I am not willing to get a degree in it because I honestly feel I will not need it. Plus, I am almost done with a degree in Psychology.

I have looked online for books but cannot find one that is really helpful to me. I can take a few classes in it including General Contracting, but that is it. Finding a mentor has proven difficult because not many people are willing to share what they know.

So does anyone know of any good books or classes that I should take (be specific) so that I can get started. Please answer my question with any references you may have.

Thanks!!
I want to build houses and sell them. I am not looking into ‘flipping houses’. Plus, I will be hiring a General Contractor. Basically, it’s like I want to build my own house then sell it. Why is that difficult?

I’ve recently become interested in real estate appraisal as a career. Can anyone give me the exact requirements for certification in California? Also, does anybody know what the job market looks like for appraisers in San Diego?

I’m interested in a property that went into foreclosure and is now being sold by a real estate liquidation company. Supposedly, they will systematically drop the price until it sells. If true, how much will the price drop each month? Is there a standard formula for real estate liquidation?

I am looking into changing careers and do have an interest in real estate. Does anyone do this for a living or know if real estate agents get paid a salary at all or if everything is solely based on commissions from selling a house.

Thank you!

I have been interested in it for awhile - I worked at a law office for a couple years - would that help me get my foot in the door at a Real Estate company? Anyone have any advice or experience to share with me?

Thank you all for responding so promptly to my question on obtaining a real estate license. Now I see and understand that I don’t need one to locate the apartment, but the obtaining the education would be beneficial to me. If I want to enter into a contract with an apartment complex do I need a license for that? I wouldn’t show the apartment to the renter, but I’d let them know where it was and all of the other fun stuff that comes along with the search.

Thank you all!

I am selling some real estate and now need to stop the sale. As the seller can I stop the sale? We are in the option period right now.
Thank you for the answers - not what I wanted to hear… when I say option period, the buyer is still deciding if they want to back out or not. I extended the option period for them to think it over some more but now I want to cancel.

mcurry81 asked:


I’ve made less this year than last in my real estate business because the market is really bad right now. I have much more in business expenses though. I don’t want to be audited, just wondering if anyone out there with experience knows what a reasonable amount in expenses for just having one sell.
