Very interesting reading different viewpoints for the amount of money a real estate agent can make, I am thinking of taking the plunge but am apprehensive, being lowly paid now, I would be happy just to make $3 to 4k pm in the begining just to tide by and build up my clientele but my main concern is going negative in the 1st year due to advertising and running expenses, anybody actually lose money in the first year being an RE agent?
