My husband and I are looking to buy an apartment in NYC using a real estate broker. However, I don’t know if we pick one broker and he helps us through everything and is our liason with all the other real estate agencies or we pick one broker from each agency.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated!!

Hi there. I have never worked. I was looking into real estate which claims you don’t need any experience. Has anyone had any luck or good experiences from this? Is the money good? Thank you for reading this.

I have been thinking of getting my real estate license in Florida (focus on residential, maybe commercial later on). But the market here is terrible at best. I have a current consulting operation that pays very well. The real estate is something I would like to do when I semi-retire in a few years. I love people and I love houses, am very good at business. However, without really understanding the real estate occupation, I am not clear if it will still be something worthwhile to pursue. I know markets go up and markets go down… Florida is really suffering right now and not sure how long it will be a problem. I wanted to go ahead and take the classes and get my license in the next 6 months. Any words of wisdom from anyone in the field?

I am wondering what things can be done with real estate besides actaully buying the property and flipping it or renting it out.

I have thought about staging, but I don’t know if people have the money in this economy to pay for that…

Just wondering what others have come up with.
