Pass your test,attend a few sales classes, especially marketing classes.

The marketing is very usefull for any salesperson and that is what you are.

You should take a few college courses because of the people you will encounter. You have to be on their level educational since you have indicated you want to work an up scale neghborhood.

Speaking of neighborhood, select one to work, they are called farms.

Prepare yourself a flyer, introducing yourself to your new potential clients. Tell them you have been assigned to the neighborhood as the new real estate agent. Offer them a few of the servces you can do for them. Send this introduction flyer for about 3-4 months. It is best to walk through the neighborhood for the first couple of times around so you can meet your potential clients. Shake a few hands, see if you can pick up a few telephone numbers and email address for your data base that you should be starting. Sorta like a politician shaking as many hands as he can in the area he works. You have to sell yourself.

After the flyers make you a newsletter to mail to them. You can get the names from a title company that will be in your real estate office. The newsletter should state a few things your clients should know about the real estate market. You can get articles for your newsletter from the local papers or the internet or other places as long as you give the authors credit.

You should mail your newsletters so go by the post office or call them. Tell them you want to set up a bulk mailing stamp. This bulk mailing stamp will allow you to send your newsletters for less than other first class mail.

You should also place your flyers in the commercial stores in your area that you have decided to work. There are holders you can buy from Staples and office Depot. Once you start your newsletter you can place them in the holders.

Get to know the owners of these shops because as you get to know them you might want to ask if they want to advertise in your newsletter once you start it.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

1. Find your niche. Real estate offers a wide range of areas to choose from – rehabbing properties, flipping houses, wholesaling houses, rental properties and many others. Before you take your pick, take time to evaluate your strengths and your weaknesses not only as an investor but more importantly, as a person. Will you be good at rehabbing? Or do you think wholesaling houses will be best for you?

2. Always make sure that you buy the right property. One very important reminder to keep in mind when investing is to purchase the right property. One of the common mistakes that new rehabbers make is buying a property located in high-demand areas. Experienced investors think that houses located in low-profile areas make more profits than those located in classy neighbourhoods.

3. Join an REI Club. Joining a real estate investment club gives you the chance to expand your network. More than just that, it also gives you the chance to learn continuously. Ask around and observe. The best real estate coach is the one who have experienced the industry themselves.

4. Where will you get your financial capital? Will you get your capital from your personal savings? If you plan to borrow from banks or other traditional lending institutions, keep in mind that you will be asked to pass a wide range of documents to get your loan approved.

5. Do not dream too big on your first project. If you want to make sure that you will succeed, keep your first project simple and feasible.

People always need places to live. Most don’t live in a home they own, so they rent.Rent is often up to 35% of their disposable income. So,it makes sense to have a rental property.

That said, renting does have its drawbacks;there are always times when a place isn’t rented, and you have to cover the costs,as in mortgages and municipal taxes/rates, land rent (if it’s leasehold land), body corp fees, and a whole slew of other expenses that are normally covered by the rent.Tenants can damage a place, which means repair bills that need to be covered,and their bond payments don’t necessarily cover enough.

If you have enough property rented out, and can cover the rest from other income, it’s a steady way of making money.

But only if you have enough money to do the thing in proper scale.
