Can I work as a real estate agent while in college?

I am currently a sophomore in college studying to become an accountant. I currently do not have a job and was looking for a part time job to make money while in school. Instead of getting a regular part time job such as working in a restaurant, I want to get a job where I can gain some real world experience, which is why I looked into real estate. I’ve done a lot of research and I’ve seen most people say not to do it part time because it doesn’t bring in a lot of money, but I don’t want to do it for the money, I want to do it as a learning experience. For school I only have one face to face class so my schedule is super flexible and I only do school work for about 10-20 hours a week. Overall my goal would be to make 10-15k a year (more would better if possible) because that’s about how much I would make from a part time job. I am willing to work really hard but I just won’t be able to put all my effort in because my main focus is school. Is it a good idea to do real estate or should I just get a regular part time job?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

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...
