Territorial and competitive corporate women, you will be accused of rape if you take their success.

>>12433211
tokenized real estate / (+) LINK will make realtors obsolete

>>12433211
Easy, why isn't everyone doing this?
It's easy so everyone tries.
In sales you have to have money to use between the sales. Dry periods hurt

>>12433258
LOL the majority of real estate women are old af. The rape accusations only work on stacy tier women fucking retard.

>>12433266
True but im a poor neet college student so I'm used to having no money and still have a gf. I literally win no matter what. These bitches aren't even going to know what hit them honestly.

It's basically commissioned sales. Better be good with people. If you're a 4chan autist, you will fail miserably.

That said, it looks easy af and when I bought a house, it didn't look like the real estate agents did a whole lot more than just stand there and smile. I think America would be better off if they didn't exist.

>>12433211
god damn give us sauce

>>12433211
It can be very hard to get clients. Many companies won't help you at all, some will give you fake leads and expect you to follow through on them. It's not like you get your realtor license and they just hand you houses to sell and you tour them around. Everyone has someone they know that they'll use, or they'll just call whoever zillow tells you to. It's essentially like being in a pyramid scheme except it's not predatorial and immoral. Many people will enter it, but few will make enough money for it to be worth the time.

>>12433300
I wonder if working with a big reality company would be beneficial. I see some real estate agents with giant ass billboards with their names and numbers sometimes.

>>12433320
Some big companies will help, some will not. Same with smaller ones. The people with the big billboards are the ones who have built up a big client base.

>>12433267
You learned nothing from the Kavanaugh riots.

How time intensive is it though? If I have a job can I do it on the side?

>>12433211
It's a disgusting trade. Real estate is the shadiest business. Go meet some realtors. Seriously get to know one who is successful. Every realtor is scum of the earth, money obsession aside. The trade is dominated by large corporate firms, and small broker offices are a pyramid/mlm type business where brokers fleece their agents of commissions.

There are easier ways to make a fat stack of cash.
If you want to do it on the side, be forewarned brokers are terrible people and you will get sales, clients, and commissions stolen from you.

>>12433211
Nasty women but those are fucking huge

>>12433211
imagine the smell

After you get the certification literally what is stopping you from flipping houses part time and saving all sorts of cash from not having to use intermediaries? Just 1 property a year is a huge boost to income.

>>12433415
reddest fuckn pill I've witnessed in a minute

>>12433415
This. Real estate agents are bottom feeders. They produce nothing, entirely dependent on the hard work of people who build homes, own homes, or have enough money to buy homes. Their only function is to match buyers and sellers, often lying to both in order to make the trade seem favorable so that they can make their 3-5% 'schmooze fee.' Because it's so easy, your colleagues and competitors are all people who are so bad at life that they couldn't make enough money building useful things or facilitating productive relationships that they have to convince transacting parties that they need to pay a bullshit tax on top of the escrow fees and government taxes that fuck up their bottom line. You can even be good at what you do buy competition is fierce because there are so many real estate agents out there. In my area, there are literally 500 licensed agents competing to sell ~ 1000 avilable properties.

>>12433702
exactly. And if you are lazy your never gonna make it. You have to be able to handle rejection from 99 percent of the people you talk to

Real estate, and any other sales job, is for attractive people and/or sociopaths. If you aren't one or both of those things don't even bother.

I'm an agent. There's a lot more that goes into it than most people realize. Looking at pretty houses is great, but analyzing market values, negotiating repairs after inspections, renegotiating after low appraisals, lighting fires under lenders' asses, etc etc aren't as fun, but the pay days are good. It is easy money compared to someone who has to teach kids for a living. Which is what I did before real estate. Go for it, ignore the retards in here that complain about agents. They always try and FSBO and end up getting burned.

>>12433955
How much are you making?

I’m a real estate agent and I’m looking for a job. I wouldn’t wish real estate on my worst enemy. It’s a terrible job and isint rewarding in the least. I hate it. All you are is a faggot middleman.

>>12433921
Any more videos from these semen demons?

>>12433980

First year 20k, second year 40k, third year I'm hoping to do 100k

Have savings because there are dry spells.

>>12433992

You had shitty clients then. I watched an agent in my brokerage make 30k on condo sales where they barely did anything. The first few years are rough because you're working with lower price ranges on older homes with problems.

>>12433854
god bless

Agent here:
you have to have some savings to carry you a bit
put up with rejection
know some basic statistics and sales training
know some construction and finance stuff

Best/biggest RED PILL is to be a real estate INVESTOR.

>>12433908

I see you're suffering from cognitive dissonance. Thats a hard one to fix, probably a few years of extreme therapy sessions will help whatever shitty childhood shit you out into existence.

>>12433955

>>12434167
If you get your license and sell on the side with a day job in the meantime, it'll keep you from starving, but the onramp will be slow.

Agents put up with emotional crap from other agents/ clients, but the money is sometimes good. Most agents make minimum wage-type money, because they're lazy or don't know enough people.

It'll be easier if you have lots of family, in-laws, former coworkers, big church, etc. First year I made 30k, then 45k, then 100k. During recession I dropped back to about 60k.

Some agents make 300k and kick ass. They're only the top 105 though. I'm single so I make enough for myself.

My rental condos pay during slow times and made me financially independent (wealthy) by age 41.

>>12434134
>Protecting this hard

Interesting. I don't have a big family or a lot of friends. Just my gf and a bunch of poor 19-25 year old friends. I'll try to get in with a reality or go to door, advertise on normiebook, insta whatever. I'd fuck my way to the top but i have a gf. Some of those roastie agents I could easily bang.

Most roasties I know (Seattle area) are middle-aged married. Maybe I need to relocate to a new roastie-ville!

Try to hook up with a top-3 agency that trains the hell out of you. Read and watch YT vids and whatever you can. If it was as easy as it looked, Bill Gates would be an agent.

But it can be done. I'm 47 and worth about $1.3M, and I'm happy. Need a GF tho. You have one of those and I don't, you bastard.

Nice, I've been watching some youtube vids and a lot are pretty informative. I'm reading, "the way of the wolf" by jordan belfort and a couple others. I'm pretty good with psychology so I feel like I could sell pretty easily if given practice on normies. Get a gf bro, its so nice to blow loads on the daily. Would increase your sales for sure.

Belfort is good for sales training, but don't turn into a cheating chump like he did.
There's Little Red Book of Selling, and books on negotiation. Win Friends and Influence People.

A good agent is like a good accountant/lawyer/plumber: worth weight in gold. Bad ones are crap, just like anyone else.

I've read a couple other books on persasion and theres better subliminal tactics one can use, being likable and funny a key one. I am learning a lot so far from jordan but his sniff thing to get into a state of mind is weird, I want to try it and see if it works.

>>12434122
>Best/biggest RED PILL is to be a real estate INVESTOR.
and how do you do that, I've have 2 friends trying to break into that business and they have to deal with shit tenants and headaches up keeping the properties

>>12434526
I have 11 rentals, and so far I like all my tenants. You have to SCREEN and treat it like a real biz. No hand-shake 'looks like I can trust him' bullshit.

If you really don't want tenants, then wholesale or fix-and-sell. Or buy tax liens because some punks don't pay their prop. tax.
Or invest in a REIT, which is like a real estate mutual fund (clean and easy, but not as good return than if you owned it all yourself).

>>12434573
solid advice
what kind of screening can you do, one my my buddies turned his properties over to a management service for a fee so he doesn't have to worry about that anymore

>>12434573
Solid info. Is it your main source of income? How much work is really involved in this?

>>12434593
That's about the smartest thing to do.
1. a PM will act as the bad-cop so you can be a rich good-cop
2. they keep you from getting sued for doing something stupid
3. their fees are well earned from the BS they take so you don't have to.

I joined a landlord club, to teach me the biz. There are credit/criminal background check companies all over out there. Google it.
Best I do is a manager though. I could only handle a few rentals otherwise.

>>12434620
If you do it all yourself, you have to show the home, write up the paperwork (half hour to an hour each time).

If there's a repair needed, I do small stuff myself (helf hour to hour ea.) but if it's a big repair, I just call a couple guys and pay them later.

Light time inv. if just a couple rentals with good house and good tenants. Big time/headache if you have junky houses/tenants.

>>12434645
one of my buddies tenants was living in the other side of his duplex and they were selling drugs and not paying rent
the court gave them like 3 unpaid months before they were evicted and they left the place a mess
water was leaking from the ceiling into his living space and they wouldn't let him upstairs to fix it right away lol

>>12434645
Any surprise costs or anything surprising you learned while doing this that you didn’t anticipate prior to being a landlord?

>>12433854
lma wtf is this

>>12434663
Sometimes, man. Sometimes. Most people are decent, and I like how I don't even know most of them because I use a manager.

But having good insurance and a few months of savings in case of a nasty tenant always helps. Gotta screen and get a good deposit.

>>12434665
The only real surprise was that: owning a rental doesn't mean you automatically get rent.
Gotta advertise, gotta show it. If it's winter, you might have a couple months vacant (can you pay the expenses while it's empty? u better hope so).

The biggest HAPPY surprise is when my first two rentals were owned long enough (4 years) that I borrowed on them and got 2 more rentals. = rental $$ from down payment money paid by my other tenants! dayum.

>>12434701
That’s awesome man congrats. How much Did you put down on your first unit? 20%? Would FHA loans work for this?

>>12434714
FHA will work if you are going to live IN it. Then you rent behind you after a year or 2.
20% down payment for rentals, usually.
After about 9 rentals, my banker made me put down 30% sometimes.

Bankers see the total debt you owe and get nervous. Investors like me see the total cashflow and spread of risk, and say go for it, more more!

If you teach yourself all the tricks and only have one rental... maybe yourself.

Long term, especially with multiple places: manager

My first 2 years I did it all myself. learned a lot, and learned 'no thanks'.

Now I got a manager and life is easier/less hassle all the way around.

it's all what company. Big enough they got a good staff, small enough they return your calls and don't just say, "go on our website"...

Join a RE investor club for about $150/year and go to the dinners and stuff. Or ask your realtor/lender/accountant. They can refer a good one to you.

I don't do my own dental work/taxes/car repairs, so why should I do my own rentals? Hell, I'm a RE agent so I'm licensed to do it for others and I won't ever do my own! lol

>>12434850
It's never as EZ as the late night 'buy my videos' guy says.

Join a RE club and learn from guys who really do it. You have to be handy yourself (or ready to lay out cash to the handymen while you wait for it to be done, sold and paid).

I like condos because they're cheap and the roof/outside is done by the HOA.

Also, I like slooow flips (rent it out a few years then sell). Bigger payout but you have to deal with tenants (which I don't because I hire that out, too, bitch).

>>12433763
This.

>>12433506
This is what I don't get. Is the 3-5% fee decided by the law or something? Why can't I make an App that matches buyers and sellers then undercut all the real estate agents by only charging 1%?

>>12433230

You mean amateurs go into residential, Pros eventually break into commercial. Every FNG commercial broker I've met is a fucking headache to work with.

If you haven't proven yourself worthy of handling a multi million dollar transfer with exacting and demanding clients who have livelihoods on the line, by first working in another realm of real estate, then the most you're going to be given is shuttling lease contracts for another agent who takes lion's share of commission - which are pretty shit to begin with even compared to stock residential.

Real Estate Agent reporting in.

Literally just be attractive and very personable. Not a hard job at all. Find a real estate group and look at their agents page. All 7.5+.

I have shit social skills outside of work.. I just put on an act and look the part.

>>12434906
Homes are an emotional, expensive thing.
I've had widows crying about their husbands, divorced couples where they each secretly called me and wanted all the house $ for themselves.

I've got old ladies who don't do apps, and young gen Y's who are too nervous to do it all online.
Apps might replace brokers, but not anytime soon.
The commission is by tradition and industry standard. Not law. You can find and get cheaper, but more grunt work is on you (photos, showing the house, deciding if an offer is good or crap, etc.).

its not that hard guise

>>12434906

The short answer is Banks.

The long answer is complicated

>>12434936
is certainly right. Nothing goes sideways faster than a FSBO deal that gets emotional. Given that real estate contracts are things you can no longer walk away from at your discretion, this gets ugly and litigious very, very fast.

Many FSBO's also tend to be massively overvalued, at which point the sellers will resort to hiring an agent who "reality checks" them.

As for the legal side of things - There's a metric shitton of paperwork and arrangements that have to be made to get a deal underway. It's ten metric shittons if you're getting a mortgage.

Agent's don't do most of it, but they certainly grease the wheels in a way that's very difficult for a homeowner who might sell a couple homes a decade, at most. You can certainly learn and do the footwork yourself, to an extent - you'll absolutely, 100% have to have an experienced RE lawyer on board at some point - but the connections and experience a competent agent has access too are difficult to overvalue.

>>12433211
real estate agents are in the business of networking more than anything

i'm an autistic NEET who basically hates being around people, so I'd be a terrible real estate agent since I have no social network.

I know a girl who's the opposite, has like 500 friends, knows everyone, super social, hates being alone, always out with friends or on the phone. She became a real estate agent and did really well because there's always someone in her network, or attached to her network (friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend type deal) where she has the potential of being recommended.

So ya you're not wrong, lots of dumbasses and women but the most important thing is being super well connected, or if you don't already have a huge local social network then at least be extremely socially skilled and smooth.

What about homie.com

>>12433286
Former real estate agent here, in California by the way... If you're interested in getting into the business read this long ass post.


I have to agree wholeheartedly with this comment. Realtors (for the most part) don't do jack shit. Most of them are stay at home moms (and now even dads!)

They don't really care if they blow a sale and give the brokerage a bad name. Also, thanks to sites like Zillow where you can rate your realtor kind of like Uber, I've seen a decorated AMAZING saleswoman who has been in the business 30+ years and knows her shit get taken down by some fucking 19 year old retarded retard who must be sucking a higher up's dick because she keeps getting top notch properties to sell, however, people rate BOTH her AND the buying realtor negatively because most people don't understand how it works and they think that both realtors are colluding or some shit.

Yeah, it's going downhill pretty quickly. Honestly I'm surprised some shit like Uber/Lyft (ridesharing) hasn't come along and wiped them out like we're seeing with taxi drivers. Maybe it has something to do with how much money is at stake, and that most people buying homes now are gen X/boomers. The zoomers will wipe out the salesman for fucking sure. In just a few years there's going to be an app for everything. Prepare for a GIANT tipping point.

Unless you're in the industry I'm in right now. Not saying which. But you can figure it out if you give it a shot.

3 hints.

1) Everyone has to go through this thing
2) Nobody wants to buy this thing
3) Ah fuck it. Mortuary sales.

Depressed faggots need not apply. Seriously though, sad shit. The only people that make it are heartless toxic psychopaths or hopelessly pathological alcoholics (and even then, I don't know about the alcoholics. I've known two people that have drank themselves to death inside of 5 years.)

I've never had a drink in my life. Wink wink.

>>12435455
How many houses did you sell a year?

>>12435115
This. Sales is all about connections.
I know an agent who became a millionaire instantly because she took the commission on an 8 figure property. You dont get those kind of opportunities without knowing the right people

>>12434645
Why in the fuck would it take you an hour to write up rental agreements? It's literally: 1) Go over the rules, 2) Sign here.

Unless you're factoring background checks. Which I do, but unbeknownst to the applicant. I've got a family member who has access to criminal and financial records on a whim, so I just go through her.

I don't really give a shit if they have a foreclosure on their record or even an eviction. I'm looking for honest law abiding people. Besides, if they start causing trouble I'll just hand them a 60 day notice (you don't have to give a reason for one of those) and just wait them out. Even if they don't pay for those 60 days (most don't) I have only had one tenant stay past the 60th day and lead me to go through the whole eviction process.

The problem with handing out 3-day or quits is that people start to panic and make up shit when you do move forward with the evictions. You know, some people just don't have the money to find a new place, and I can understand that. However, if you get all fiercey and go on attack mode too quick all sorts of things can start to happen. I've had people literally buy mice at a pet store and release them in their homes, take pictures of them, and then take those pictures to court and say that I have a rodent infestation problem..... Now I have to call Terminex, and then I have to show proof to the judge, through my lawyer (whose charging me $300 per appearance in court) that I'm "taking action" against the rodent problem.... But then they realize that they can just do that shit again, only now it's the plumbing..... etc etc etc...

I once had what I believed was a professional squatter stay in one of my units for free for 8 fucking months. I would literally dream about murdering him.

Any UK real estate agents here? would be interested on your thoughts

>>12434792
How will a manager "know if they help you get rich, so will they?"

Apartment managers who live offsite generally get paid a fixed salary. If you decide to let one live on your site, you might be able to get by on offering reduced rent or free rent. However, even with free rent that manager is going to need a stream of income, so if he/she works nights then they're GOING to sleep during the day and NOT do their job. It's just human nature to take advantage of opportunities, i.e. security guards sleeping in their cars.

So, I would be really careful with the property management part.

Also, do some research on your tax-preparer. Personally, I only do business with Enrolled Agents (they can represent you in open court like lawyers, and in order to become one you need to memorize all the tax laws. Like, all of them.)

You be the realtor. Not hard.

Treat your lender like the piece of shit garbage that they are. Question everything. Read everything. Don't sign diddly shit until you've read it 20 fucking times, and then 20 more fucking times.


Get a GOOD lawyer. Use your local lawyer referral service through your county's bar referral service. I can't stress this part enough. For the love of all that is good and holy, get yourself a fucking lawyer, man.

>>12436840
Managers generally get a percentage of the rent, so they'll want to keep it rented. If they know you have multiple props, they'll treat you well because they want those other places.

I like the info on the lawyer and accountants.
Is being a realtor hard? Let's put it this way: there's a lot of people out there who USED to be realtors.

>>12436725
Sorry to hear of your stories. I have some too. It takes me an hour because they question things in the lease, and I remind them of the rules, nail them in good and hard. Sometimes I get lucky, they sign here and there and I'm gone in an hour. But I budget at least 20 min.

>>12436939
>Is being a realtor hard?

Yes and no. Don't limit yourself to JUST selling homes is what I say. I live in SoCal so I'm very blessed in the sense that people are willing to pay half a million dollars for a century-old piece of shit house infested with termites and fucked plumbing just so they can tell people they live in L.A. It's the weirdest shit, honestly, and it's only getting worse with all the money that tail-end millennials ARE making in the tech industry, and all the money zoomers are going to BE making in the coming years. I honestly predict loser first-wave millennials co-signing mortgages for their kids who are going to be Baby Boomers: The Retelling... I'm seeing more and more young people (and I'm talking 18-22 young) making shitloads of money working in an office doing things I don't understand (or care to) and then they drive for Uber/Lyft at night for fucking fun...but they make like a whole other salary doing it! I'm telling you, I've seen the screenshots on their phones...zoomers are going to KILL it in the workforce. GET R-E-A-D-Y.

That's the reason I got into the mortuary business, which is something I don't wanna get into right now. I will say this though, I don't see this business going anywhere or undergoing any drastic changes in the future. I kid you not, we still do everything pen/pencil and paper. We only use our own personal computers because there's no margin for error when it comes to the funerals. Also, everything has to be checked and re-checked. It's all very simple and almost stupid-easy, but man do you have to deal with some crazy shit. Again, as I stated earlier, the only people that make in this business are those who don't give a shit about other people, like at all. I'm not saying I'm a sadist. I'm not. I don't LIKE hurting people, and I DON'T hurt people unless it's the only other option, and even then I place boundaries on how far I'm willing to go based on a cost/benefit ratio, legallity, and such and so on. I don't physically hurt people, in case you're wondering. (I'm referring more to taking advantage of stupid people and taking their money.) But other than that I could care less if a dad lost all his kids in a house fire. If anything that's more bodies, caskets, doves, music, eulogies, time=money, and that means more comission for me.

tl;dr? Sorry.

Work as an appraiser in a metro city. Can confirm that real estate agents are in fact idiots.

Oh yeah fo sho! Those fuckers make excellent money. Well, anyway, I'm outta here. If this thread is still alive later, I'll check back in.

What does one need to sell a house? Or what does a real estate agent need from me to sell my home? Would it be better to just sell it on my own and fuck the Realtors?

yes but good luck getting people to check out your home with advertising. Then you need to tour with them. answer every question under the sun. keep the place up and still have people walk away.

just toured a house a lady was selling herself. zillow says it's been on the market a month(long time for the area). it's overpriced yeah but I'd imagine someone would fight it down. in talks with a realtor who knows the lady personally. that house has been on the market for over 6 months. the lady was posting it on facebook half a year ago. that's a whole year of taxes/potential mortgage payments
