Sales vs Rentals
Hi, I'm currently in my 4th month in rental real estate in lower Manhattan. I have been close to closing many deals but due to my inexperience was only able to close 2 netting 5k after the split. Rental advertising is definitely not the most honest, but that is the norm here. I am not sure if I should continue rental or go over to the sales, which I have no experience in, but think will be more profitable long term. Still live with parents, 21.

&amp;#x200B;

Anyone who has been doing both and can give their advice, I would greatly appreciate!

Sales is a tad bit more loyal but it\u2019s easy when anyone can just go on street Easy to find another place without you. As an agent, your goal should be to get in sales and do a great job for your clients. But getting clients is hard unless you have Premier Agent that you have to pay for. LG and other firms will give you clients but expect to work in rentals first for those companies before they give you a taste of sales.", "replies": [{"id": "fao7p3b", "text": "I'm at LSR, yeah do agree its sketchy and clients work with dozen brokers. Have not heard of LG. My firm seems to produce consistently, this is my 2nd month in a row closing an apartment, but making fake ads get annoying and most people don't trust you.", "replies": [{"id": "faoag1i", "text": "Exactly, renthop is filled with it.. have you considered working with a senior broker? That\u2019ll help you learn how to run your real estate business and maybe get some referral business from those clients. Highly recommend this option", "replies": [{"id": "faoba8q", "text": "So far I only know rental business, have no idea about sales. I know a guy that is working for nest seekers, he is almost 2 years in real estate. He seems to be doing good, but told me to do rentals first or go so sales in Brooklyn.
