I've just started this journey.

1k to take your exam. After you pass, 1k for post licensing classes to get license. After you pass, $1,200 to get your license, this fee also involves your errors and omissions insurance. Brokerages vary but the one I chose is $100 a month with a 10% deal fee. Best way to get started is to NOT get your license yet. Try and get hired as an assistant somewhere..... Make sure you actually want to do this, and can survive in the industry. It's best if you know someone in the industry, otherwise pretty tough to get started.

Like any business, you wont profit unless you get it rolling. There is no get rich quick scheme unless your parents know a tonne of rich people who would love to give you their listings, or buy a shit load of property.
