How to become a Realtor

Account Closed

Good Evening,

I would like to become a real estate investor, but at the moment I do not have the money or the capital. I'm active duty military and going on deployment very soon..I thought it would be a good time to start the process of becoming a real estate agent to work my way up in the real estate field. I'm located in Jacksonville, FLA and I was wondering if anyone could recommend good schools or advice. Thanks!

as for becoming a Realtor, that's actually different from a licensed real estate salesperson. You could use the GI Bill or Voc-rehab to pay for an online course for the real estate salesperson license (I believe it's a 63hr class) you finish on your own time. Then you take a proctored exam, pass that and take the state exam. After that your a real estate agent and also exempt for the continued education requirements because you're active duty. A Realtor is a member of a club of real estate professionals that pay dues and lobby Congress. You don't need to be Realtor unless you're looking for networking opportunities.
