Knocked back for a real estate traineeship, not feeling great about myself.

Hi there.. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, so if there is another forum could you please recommend it for me.

I have been out of work for a little over a year now as I was discriminated against being pregnant and had my son who is now 10 months old. I wasn’t actually looking for a job, browsing really. I came across a full real estate traineeship job opening in my area that states it’s for all ages and I thought I would apply as it is full time, training provided and being a full time position would give me opportunities like buying a house in future etc I have a decent resume, I sent it but I didn’t have access to my cover letter so I couldn’t send that. I know they read my resume as it notifies you and heard nothing back from them. Two weeks later I noticed they put another advertisement out on Facebook so I thought I would update my application and send the cover letter. I then applied for two other real estate traineeships. I also enrolled into studying real estate just incase I don’t get hired. Today I received another notification that my application won’t progress to the next stage.

The thing is I dropped out of high school in 2012 when I was in year 12 (I wagged every day) and then I became a cleaner in 2014. But I was a hard worker. I held down a job for 6 years, I was promoted to supervisor, I won employee of the year one year and sometimes I would only get 4hrs of sleep between my night shift and day shift.

I am only 26 years old, my presentation is good. I’m fashionable, placid and polite.

I am just feeling like I wasn’t even Considered for a job interview because I was a cleaner with no education. I thought it being a traineeship surely they would at least give me an interview as I put in effort to write a good resume and cover letter.

So what can I do to improve my chances of landing a traineeship in real estate? What are they looking for?

Am I better of studying real estate? Which in fact getting certified takes a lot less time than a traineeship.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
