Any advice for getting into real estate? Seems oversaturated to me

• poulsbohemian 6y ago
  Depends entirely on your location and specifically what you want to do as real estate is a really big space from brokers to house flippers to property managers. I've got a friend who has been in Seattle real estate for decades - he has commented many times about how in flush times people rush in to RE for the money, then run away when the market cycles down. We've seen the same thing in tech - some of us are old enough to remember the Dotcom crash and are a bit bemused at the irrational exuberance of the past 5+ years in tech, as it too will likely have an eventual cycle. Point being - there are a lot of ways to make money in this world - plenty of plumbers and welders with nice houses and cars - so pick something you enjoy, not just something that feels like there's a lot of money flooding that direction.
