I think its so funny when someone ask me what im studying for and then they say they say OMG i know what youre going through because i took the real estate exam. I have to bite my tongue to not say out loud i wish the cpa exam were equivalent to the real estate exam but i dont want to sound like an asshole. Dont get me wrong getting your real estate license is great but i really dont think its as challenging. The reason why i know its not as challenging because they are way too calm when they say they passed the real eatate exam lol

I have real estate license. OH if the CPA were only that easy. 2 weeks of study and it's mostly common sense stuff especially if you've gone through a closing of your own home…CPA exam how about an undergrad in accounting, work at a CPA firm and every day for 3 months studying for 1 part and still wondering if I passed…

The worse part about this is that, in some areas in America, a real estate person can earn an equivalent amount to a CPA without working hard.

Which means we're the idiots who got in the wrong field. 😉 However, I'll take 12 hours in an office by myself over 6 hours hauling around strangers in my car and trying to appeal to their outlandish ideas of what they want in a car..! At my former job, my coworkers and I would often watch House Hunters in the break room on lunch – it was a constant reminder of why I would hate to be a real estate agent.

I disagree with the notion that real estate agents make a lot of money without working hard. I am pretty good friends with multiple RE agents and the ones who make decent money (60K+) bust their hump all week long and have very little social flexibility because they pretty much need to always be available at the drop of a hat. The ones who don't work hard have seen their wages stagnate, even in an increasingly improved housing market. They also can go weeks or even months without a paycheck, all while still paying their “rent” to the broker. The ones making big money are in niche markets and specialize in high net worth individuals, which is a fraction of the percentage of RE agents nationwide.

Do any of you have any experience flipping homes? Do you think is a profitable business (>20% return)? I want to start doing that once Im done with the CPA exam, and get my real estate license.
