Buckle down or do something else?

I’m not sure if I should continue in real estate or go back to school to be a teacher or nurse? I’ve had my license for a couple years but haven’t had much success. I am 43 and have two kids so real estate is ideal as far as flexibility. I was on a team the first few months but I was expected to be in the office everyday which I couldn’t do since I have young kids. I seem to have a lot of anxiety about real estate and haven’t really given it my all. I have a lot of self doubt and am not the most comfortable selling myself. I wonder if I should just buckle down and give real estate my all or go back to school to do something else where I don’t have to put myself in it there as much to succeed. It would be a lot of work either way just wondering what other people have experienced or what you may think. I’m considering whether teaching or nursing would suit me better but since I have my license I wonder if I still have a chance of being successful if I get over my self doubt. And I wonder if I should join a team or just keep trying on my own.

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
