I am sick of being a realtor! I've been trying for 5 years and have only sold 3 houses. Where I'm from (small Southern town) nobody is buying. Most people's families already own homes and it's just a bummer to see all these nice houses deteriorating over time.

No offense, but 3 houses in 5 years seems unsustainably low, is this your only source of income?

You know, maybe it was just a bad career choice. It can happen to anyone. Thankfully we have some good transferable skills for marketing and sales so a career switch is always in the cards

Hello, I think you only have 2 options, if you want to continue being a real estate agent you can move to a new place and the other option would be to change your job.

I would tell you to keep trying but man does not live by bread alone, I think you should explore other options such as trying to be a real estate agent focused on rentals.

Consider being a property manager or being a salaried realtor for a company like Redfin.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
