I'm considering a part-time career as a real estate agent while keeping my current job from 6pm-2:30pm.

- Any ideas or tips on balancing a part-time real estate career with my current job?
- What is the average annual income for a real estate agent in Kentucky?
- Do I need any certifications?
- Are the classes/exam difficult?
- Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

What makes you want to be a real estate agent?

The majority of first-time realtors quit within 2 years. You should expect 0 or negative income from being a realtor over the first 2 years while you learn the ropes and build your network. The industry is going to be even less lucrative over the next few months as the shakeout from the NRA lawsuit comes around.

If you think you have a unique ability to build a network of people who will be buying and selling over the next 2 years, then it might work out for you. But the statistics aren’t in your favor.
