A. Lets just put it this way - every accountant can be a real estate agent if they wanted to be (and/or had the aptitude for the job) after they finished their four-year bachelor's degree and get a Real Estate license. However after a student graduated from a program in Real Estate and received a Real Estate license, they cannot become a certifide public accountant (CPA). I hope that helps you with your decision. Good Luck!!!

Q. I am currently a junior in college, majoring in Economics with minors in Political Science, Urban Planning, and Black Studies and I am very interested in becoming a Real Estate Developer or working in Land Use. Do I need to pursue a Master's in Urban Planning, or could I go to the local community college and pick up an associate's degree in Real Estate and be okay. How can I get my feet in the door? Thanks!

A. Get at least a 4 year degree, anything less and you will not be taken seriously in that field.

Q. And you think you can do the job just by having that by your side.. + a day step by step planner.. does this inable me to skip the memorization of everything in the real estate dictionary? Also, i know some of whats in the book.. it just takes a glance at the word.. to really bring stuff back... how much more do i need to memorize? I guess i'm asking will i need to have that info in my head, and ready at all times or can i keep my "notes to self" and my step by step guides.. lol thanks! yes, in a way that is what i was asking. I was asking if you thought my method would work. My method of course emcompasses having a realestate dictionary at my side most of the day, but i would only have to glance at the words mainly that were associated with the specific topic i was searching for. note: A = word so if i see (B) words that are related to say _A_. and i dont even read definitions for (B).. i can remember what A means.

A. After reading your note 3 times, I THINK you are asking if your methods of studying for a real estate license are good methods? and by book, i think you mean a book on Principles of Real Estate. or are you asking about real estate investing methods? or both? Unfortunately, in all careers, some memorization is necessary. Ideally, it becomes less forced memorization as we understand what each concept means and how to apply it to real situations.

Q. I'm looking for rent to live off-campus next year, so I contacted a realty to find me a house. What do they exactly do for me? Do I still have to contact the landlord too? thanks! If I find a house with people who are looking for an additional roommate, can the realty still help?

A. Property owners wishing to rent their property may hire a real estate company to act as their agent. These companies are paid by the property owner to list the property, find the tenants, show the property, check the prospective tenant's credit history, get references, make sure the tenant is acceptable and can pay the rent and sign the rental agreement. In many cases you will pay the rent to the real estate company. No, you don't usually contact the landlord. One reason landlords hire real estate companies is so that the real estate company can handle all of the details. Sometimes you may be charged a small fee by the company to pull your credit and handle the documentation, sometimes not. You can also look for available rentals in the local newspaper or online on such places as craigslist.org. You don't necessarily need a real estate company but sometimes landlords are more comfortable having a real estate company handle the property. Good luck!
