Correct. Realtors are at the top of the real estate food chain. LOs spend years trying to develop relationships with them.

I had my real estate license in nyc. If you like working with ppl and finding lists etc, organizing & lots of in person or client facing on zoom. Showing apts & homes. Have a great nest egg. It can take a few months to get a deal & even more time to close on one. Loan officer your the middle person between candidates & banks. Explaining the entire process etc. You’re not chasing deals. The realtor brings you in. If you’re more corporate or professional & enjoy paperwork etc. You can move around as well.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.
