I would tell my 18 year old self I have study get real estate license or at least a leasing agent license. That’s exactly what I did but I did it at 28 years old.
I eased my way into residential real estate by earning my leasing license to help clients with rentals (Chicago Market). Then after about a year I studied to get my brokers license which allows you to help with rentals, home buying, selling, and commercial real estate.
Since then, I have made an okay salary for my family and I. If I had started when I was 18 years old I would have 10+ years of experience and wouldn’t have entered the industry in my youth. I’m not complaining or anything, but if I wasn’t such a pansy at the time, my sales skills would probably be 10 fold. That’s one end of the spectrum. The other end is, real estate would have chewed me up and spit me out and then knows where I’d be at then.
