Real Estate

im on my final year degree student from malaysia.

It cost me about 600 to get my license and 6 weeks. It costs 100 dollars each time you take the test and there are 2 parts. State and federal. I failed the state part on my first try passed the second time. I didnt have to wait 6 mo. I only waited a week to take it again. I think if you fail it 3 times, you have to wait like 1 month to take it again, but i dont remember.

Being a real estate agent now is probably the worst time. You make no money and you might not even see your first paycheck for 3 months or more. If you really work hard (like 12 hours a day 7 days a week and learn everything about loan programs, then you can be one of those lucky agents that make 100K to 300k per year. But just so you know, those people that make 300k per year are spending tons on advertising. My real estate teacher told me that for every 1,000 dollars you spend on ads, you should make about 5,000

any tips? on math and any other tips is needed. Thank you very much!

Yes, study. Seriously, even with math, practicing problems can make all the difference. You will be faster and more confident.

Also, if they publish practice exams, buy a book and do them. It will be good practice and often, on these standardized tests, they repeat questions.

Good luck!!

After doing research on Loan Modification Default Rates and Shadow Inventory Rates i am in shock. This is very serious people. I feel very bad for all the responsible people who have been paying on their loans like clockwork hoping to use equity to subsidize their retirement. Can anyone say “poof”

just wondering because don’t they do reasearch on the house?

I don’t think they could reveal if it was haunted. How do they really know if they haven’t lived there. Some people swear the Amityville Horror house is haunted and the people living there at the moment swear it isn’t.

I thought if you asked if anyone died there that they would have to reveal it, if they knew. Back to the Amityville, the Lutz’s bought it not knowing that 6 people had been murdered there. In that case I think it should’ve been revealed, but it’s not a law you have to tell them, unless you ask. Don’t know if this is true in all states either.

My partner and i have moved to another state and are staying with family, my partner is working and we have 2 children small children. My partner has a very high paying job and we have a good rental history but we seem to be finding it hard to find a place! Does anyone know what real estate agents check exactly? And maybe why we might be finding it hard to find a place?
We have never been evicted

Some just run a credit check but some do criminal background. Get your free copy and find out what your credit history says. You may have late payments or just not enough history. They could want you to have more income if you have a lot of debt.

I am new at investing so i need some help to get started. and to make sure if its worth jumping in right now since it has been dying down.

I wouldn’t pay too much attention to NATIONAL media reports on real estate which report a cooling off period recently. Look at your area. Are area businesses doing well? Are they hiring and investing or are they laying off? That will tell you if people are likely to be moving into the area, and therefore, potentially buying a home.

However, when it comes to pre-foreclosure homes, it’s more complex. You really want to focus on the home and specific area where it is located. If you are in an areas where business is doing poor, more pre-foreclosure homes will be available but not many perspective buyers. If business is doing good, well, less pre-foreclosure homes, more competition, but quicker turn-around times.

You have to think this through on a local level, not a national one, especially when it comes to pre-foreclosures. I WOULD NOT buy a pre-foreclosure home in an area where prices have already been driven to record highs. Honestly, I would focus, generally, in less populated areas that did not benefit from past real estate valuation growth. Internet commerce and home/office technologies make these areas ripe for future valuation growth and plenty of pre-foreclosure opportunities exist for investors.
