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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
