I'm thinking about a career change. How quickly can I expect it to take to make a good living in real estate?

Question

I'm currently in retail management making about $70k per year, so I'd like to make at least this much in my new career.

Answer 1

well now might not be the best time for that. I have a sister who was in real estate but as soon as it became difficult to obtain a mortgage, her business went down hill. you may market yourself as a real estate expert or see about becoming a subject matter expert in your area

Answer 2

Apparently, now it's a good time to get into real estate, if you are a quick learner it could be a good move:

Answer 3

They say it won't start to recover until the middle of next year. But know one really knows for sure. If you really want this challenge take it and push yourself to be the best.

Answer 4

Good luck.  The real estate market has essentially collapsed and the banks continue to tighten requirements.  Just how are you expecting to make $70,000?
