How can I start getting into Real Estate?
I want to have my own career once I graduate high school as well as having a side hustle, I would like to sell properties. My own research I have done has told me I don't need to do lots of school for this but I don't know where to get started.

Hi Odalys,
Beyond researching the requirements for obtaining a real estate license in your state, consider asking a local agent if you might shadow him/her for a few days. Doing so will give you an informative view of what a typical day is like for them and the required tasks. From there, you might search for a part-time/after-school or summer role or internship supporting a local agent, for which you'll likely need solid computer skills, great customer service skills, and attention to detail. You'll begin learning the real estate business before you graduate!
