Hey everyone,

I need some advice, so I figure ask the pros. I have always had an interest in real estate, but never took action. I am now considering going to school getting licensed and starting a career. As of now, I own my own business, but it's not producing like I had hoped. Does an agent make good money straight out of school? or does it take years to actually see a good paycheck?
Do I need to get my license to make good money in real estate? Can I use my license to make money in any other way besides selling for someone else?
(Sorry for all the questions) Could ya'll recomend a good online training course or books? Is getting my license from a real estate school equivelent to a degree in real estate from a university? I have heard about selling house notes, is that really profitable? I'am 25 and looking to get into a profitable business before I turn 30. I would really appreciate your input.Thanks alot.....
