You're not paying a dime. These are someone else's apartments, they belong to the landlord. A third party, the renter, hires you to find them an apartment.

You're not getting paid unless you find an apartment and close the deal. When you do close a deal you get 15% of the year's rent as your payment.

Clothes don't have to be expensive as long as you aren't chasing after unicorns. Once you establish your wardrobe you can buy clothes at your leisure when they are on sale or when you stumble on a find. Not everything needs to be top quality, just like we have costume jewelry and heirloom jewelry sometimes what you need is a piece to complete an outfit for a dozen times or so then be discarded.

The second thing to do is simplify your life. Start to phase out the elements in your life that aren't appropriate anymore or are adding unnecessary complication. I'm not saying you can't enjoy things that are fun but there are many things in life you probably haven't tried yet that may be more productive or less of a drain.

Learn to enjoy things that are freely available. Parks, the library, museums, theater, and so on are usually available in the community for free or small fees. Become cultured, socialize and develop new interests.

Not him, but i'm about to get my license

I'm in Vancouver and here's how it works. You do your exam, you do a 5 FULL day course that's mandatory, you sign up with a brokerage, and then you finally get your license.

You pay and enter a RE licensing course. You have 1 year to finish it. They send you a fucking giant textbook in which you actually have to memorize about 50% of it. This is how they weed out people, and get money without having too many people become realtors. Worse yet, it's written like shit by a lawyer, so 70% of the time you'll be rereading the passages just to understand. The onus is on you to figure out the material with minimal help from Sauder.

There are tutors in Lower Mainland that can help you learn the exam material. If you're young you'll have no problem understanding the material. The problem is the presentation, which is why you hire a tutor. It's all memorization. I highly recommend taking a tutor, however it is another $900. It may seem like a steep price, but if you're truly driven to make dat dosh, $900 is nothing.

The exam is just as scary. You go to the exam room at UBC in the Sauder building, and it's down a long hallway. You're pushed into this small, cramped room, where beforehand they strip you of any personal belongings to prevent you from cheating. The exam format is multiple choice, where half the choices make some sense, but one choice makes the most sense. When Sauder thinks there are too many realtors, they simply increase the amount of calculation questions to fuck over students because it's "hard" for a lot of people.

Once you pass the exam, you have to go to a 5 day course to learn the trade. During this week, "prominent" real estate agents come to talk about their experience in specific fields, so that you have an understanding of what the pros do, and how you can apply their teachings to your practice. In reality, these speakers will brag about how great that are and too often speak about tangential subjects, simply because they're extroverted and love the sound of their own voices.

When you sign up for a brokerage, you can choose any one. Most will hire you, because you're paid by commission, not salary. This means that you're paying a lot of fees simply to be with a brokerage. This is how the Real Estate Board jews the fuck out of you. The costs vary, but on average it could be from 400-600 a month depending on your brokerage. Keep in mind, these are only fees. You have to pay initial fees on top of that to the real estate board in order to actually obtain your license.

I just started, so I don't have too much information, beyond this level. I don't have an average cost on advertisement.

On the bright side, if you sell one 1.3 million dollar house, that's a lot of money. Just imagine;

>6 or 7% on first $100,000, 3% on the remaining
>6000 + 36000 = 42000

In NYC You don't pay fees. I mean, you might pay another broker if it's a cobroke and Your firm gets a percentage of your take, but I've never been anywhere where I had to pay them to work with their listings. I think that might be illegal here. The test is also easier. If you're above average in the brains department (and I think most of us here are fairly sharp beneath hashtags and memery, I really do), you'll have no problem on the test. Modern texts are written in plain english, and you'll get through the course in a few weeks, less if you go to multiple classes a day.

Location is the thing. If you live in a city you can make stacks doing this, because there's always a limited amount of good real estate and a whole lot of rich people.

For anyone in university/community college. I would recommend jobs that are on campus, especially the ones that are in the department related to your studies. I've got a simple office job, just doing simple clerical work and it pays $9 an hour. I work about 15 hours a week.

I also work a campus mail job, before my office job, its very simple stuff. It pays about $8 an hour. I work around 20 hours with this job.

I was quite lucky, being able to accommodate 35 hours in my weekly schedule. The work is simple, my schedule is structured. I just do my mail job, walk over to the gym, use their showers, put on fresh clothes (office appropriate) and saunter on to the next job. As a plus, HR uses an automated time logging system for employee salaries. Whenever I arrive early, I'm able to clock in quarter-till the hour. Whenever I'm done, I just like to wait a little bit to clock out. This way, my hours round up, and I get paid a little bit more.

Another thing I like to do is sell things on ebay. I don't own any particularly expensive items, nor do I look for expensive items. I just look for low-ticket items that always sell fast. A perfect example of such a low-ticket item is a pair of Levi's jeans. Every once in a while, I'm able to find some good pairs of Levi's 501s, 514s, 511s, and so on. Everybody loves their jeans, everybody seems to want more. And they always look for Levi's, as defacto. They are almost always a guaranteed sale. I'm usually able to sell a pair for $15 to $20, and I usually find these for $3 to $5. All these small profits add up into sizable portions.

Of course I look for leather jackets, nice shoes, etc. etc. at thrift stores. Heck, the other day, I was able to sell a Casio Sk5 to some circuit bending fiend for $60. Easy money, I tell you.

True, true. I don't need the money, actually. I'm actually one of the many detestable trust fund kids on this board. The thing is, I need something to spend time on over the summer.

Since I wasn't able to find an internship, I just signed up for two student jobs. Student jobs, by definition, a low wage and easy. By doing practically nothing for a few hours, I can earn a little more than minimum wage.

ya they do. You can hire someone, give them like 10% of the money and they'll take care of everything. So its actually profitable for a person to 'care' for ~10-20 properties rent, maintenance etc for that 10%.. its all economies of scale. But its big money when its 15 * 200-300 per week

Can't say I expected people from 4chan to be smart or anything, sometimes it feels like I'm the only business owner on this site.

You are right, this is absolutely a giant mob industry given that in penalized people with common sense (read: perfectly capable of finding an apartment on their own) with a giant 15% premium.

I live in NYC and I honestly don't know a single goddamn person who wanted or needed a realtor outside of the fact that it's pretty much monopolized so you have no choice.

You can do it as soon as you're 18.
Many people do. Nothing's stopping you.
