“If you are interested in becoming involved with real estate investment, joining a real estate investment club can be a great first step. Although you will likely be expected to pay membership fees and may have to pay additional dues into the club, there are many advantages to joining a real estate club.
Get Educated by a Real Estate Investment Club
One of the biggest benefits associated with joining a real estate investment club is the fact that you can learn a great deal about real estate through your membership. You won’t sit around and read books together at these clubs. Rather, you can get real life education by talking with other members and learning from their experiences. As a result, you can implement some of the same steps they took to find success in real estate. At the same time, you can avoid some of the mistakes they had to endure.
By talking with other investors that are members of the real estate investment club, you can get meaningful advice that is specific to your needs. These tips and tidbits if information can prove to be invaluable down the road.
Make Connections with a Real Estate Investment Club
Another perk to being a member of a real estate investment club is the fact that it allows you to network with other professionals. This can lead to finding better deals and can also help you avoid scams. In addition, other members can suggest specific people for you to do business with. For example, you might learn through your real estate investment club that there are one or two inspectors or property managers in your area that are particularly good to work with.
Find Partners within a Real Estate Investment Club
When you join a real estate investment club, you will also find yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals. As such, you might find one or more members that are interested in partnering with you so you can both get rich off of real estate investment. By combining your resources, you may be able to achieve a level of success that you could not have achieved on your own.
Save Money on Your Investments
Since many of the other members of the real estate investment club most likely own one or more investment properties, you might also be able to get a good deal on a piece of real estate. Often times, the members of these clubs bypass working with a realtor and sell their real estate directly to other members of the clubs. This helps the other member avoid paying a commission and helps you purchase a property for less. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Grow Your Business by Joining a Real Estate Investment Club
Even if you are not interested in investing in real estate, you still might be interested in joining a real estate investment club. If you have a business that is related to real estate in any way, such as a landscaping business or a contractor business, you might want to consider joining one of these clubs. After all, many of the members are purchasing “fixer uppers” as an investment and will need someone to help improve the value of the property for resale.
There are many reasons to join a real estate investment club, even if you are not interested in investing in property. If you are looking to make money from property in any way, joining one of these clubs is a very good idea.”

Help answer the question about real estate
How should I start off my path to real estate?I am 16, and planning on going in real estate because it seems like hard work in that business pays off compared to other places and because I am very persuasive.
When I start my junior year at my high school.. I have about 2 free clases what do you think I should take that will help me with real estate?
I am going to go to "cal state san bernardino" after I graduate high school. So what clases do you guys suggest I should take there and what should I major in.. that will ultimately help me with my real estate journey.
Also someone suggested to me I should get insurance..220 license ,real estate, mortgage license? can someone explain to me what all that does?
stay out of the mainstream area;
that is, listing houses for sale.
become an exclusive buyer's agent.
Rep middle income and upper income
black women as a niche.
Also poke into doing commercial
and industrial purchases.
and maybe business brokerage
plus, interview different agencies–
most are Realtor focused; which
means they take listings. YOU can
choose not to do that via being
an exclusive BUYER's agent.
[they don't sell RE--they help
buyers buy, and that is a different
approach].
plus u can find those offices that
have 100% approaches [where
the agent pays for desk space and
does not split the commission.]
available to help -though I am not
in TN.
Hi Jeannie!
I suggest you first learn the difference between Real Estate Companies. Some charge desk fees, some do a split with commissions (find out what other monthly fees they have), some are flat fee brokers. Find out if they have retirement, residuals, if they offer profit sharing how long does it take to get that profit, training, what programs do they offer and do they cost? Do they have a training schedule? Do they have a mentor program? Do they have a new agent training course? Do they have health insurance?
Then go meet the Broker. If you can't relate with them, then it's not a good fit! If you have any questions, email me! Good luck and make us all proud!

I agree. It is much better.
Depends on the licensing requirements in your state. Check with the Department of Real Estate for their requirements. Most states require some basic courses, but there may be exemptions or partial exemptions for experience in the field. The only exception in California is that licensed attorneys, regardless of their field of practice, can go straight to the Broker level exam. Afterwards, most states also require a certain amount of continuing education for license renewal at either the Agent or Broker level…so you might as well get used to taking classes…and who knows, despite all your experince, you may learn just the thing you needed to know…
The LP2 version of this is perhaps my favorie Sunny Day Real Estate track, but this one is just way more raw and intense, thanks for posting it!
Russ Whitney has a great coaching program you may want to take a look at.
Good Luck

One doesn't eliminate the other one. My broker is a Lawyer and his experience/practice is in Real Estate. After 10 years of practicing law, he decided to be a Broker.
Go ahead!
This version>>>>>> LP2 version by so much…
You have a LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT. all disclosures within the contract should be what the seller knows about the property. Now the other agent cannot FORCE you to sign anything. Basically what the agent is trying to do is cover his clients ass- if the selling side has a problem with it you can always take it before arbitration (see how they like that). Either way the selling agent is not within his rights to present other docs. for disclosures, nor do you let them off the hook. You will have no recourse if you do. Hope this helps.
for real haha thats pretty cool.
dude that must have been ’95 cause that’s when they split for 2 years
kurwa…masterpiece!!!!!!!!
Wow! what a great question from a 14 year old. a LLC (Limited Liability Company) is incorporated with the Attorney Generals office in the state it is established in. The best way to do that is to go to an Attorney. A holding company and a Development company may be combined into one, have different division or groups to do the different objectives, or even the same people.
You can never have too much money to start a company, it's the too little that matters. Your best bet is to save as much as possible, write up a business plan, go to friends and family for investment in the company before you start out and hope to have a minimum of $50,000 to $500,000 to start your company. Then you can go to a bank and borrow, usually 2 to 3 times that much more to make your first purchases.
Yes there are Capital gains even for companies to pay with investment properties.
When you are ready, have your board of directors vote to take your company public by registering with the Securities and Exchange commission, with the assistance of a Stock Brokerage Company.
Good soundtrack its got the flaming lips, u2, the offspring, method man, and that seal song is his only good song
I am a real estate agent in Australia with my own independent office.
I am not sure what courses are like through franchises, however, here, the courses with regular real estate schools are very good.
When you are looking to find an agency to work for, consider the following:
- do they regularly pay for training for their employees? what kind of training and how frequently?
- does management get regular training and upgrade their knowledge on changes in legislation etc (here we have special annual education to attend to stay in the know)
- what internal systems and procedures do they have that will assist people who are just starting out? for example, a good computer software and training resources in the office for when you get stuck on something.
- is there someone more experienced in the office that can mentor you?
I believe that a franchise is not necessarily the best, often all the training that they attend is in house, and they are not open to external training providers (which can be very beneficial).
You need to look at the individual operator of the office to decide if it will be a good environment to start your career or not.
It was the end of ’94 for sure. We went to Arizona the day after Christmas ’94 and didn’t get back until the first week of January ’95.
I am a real estate agent and I think it's a wonderful career choice. If you have self determination, love working with people, think it's fun to show houses and don't want a regular 9-5 job, you will love it too.
I don't know what state you are in, but in California you are required to have three classes and then pass a test that is different from the three classes you take. So you have to study hard for the test, which is like taking an extra class.
One wonderful thing about real estate is that you can choose how many clients you want to work with. If you work a lot, you can make a good living. Or you can do it part time while you continue to go to school and your real estate income will help you get through college.
I don't think real estate is ever too risky to get into if you are self motivated. Even in a bad market, there are people who still want to buy and sell and they are looking for an agent who cares about their needs and will do whatever it takes to make their real estate sale go as smoothly as possible. If you like that idea, go for it.
