Intro to Real Estate

About five years ago, real estate became an integral part of my life.  I gained first hand experience by actually observing and working with real estate properties.  By continuing to gain knowledge and experience, I knew that this is something I could make a career out of.  I would like to continue working in Chicago, partly because of the familiarity.  The size and importance of the city keeps the real estate market relevant.  There are numerous divisions of real estate.  It is a lot more detailed than the basic buying and selling of property.  Real estate keeps my interest because I continuously find new ways to integrate into the field.  Real estate will never become old.  Real estate affects almost every single human being on this planet.  With that being said, I feel everyone can find a personal interest in real estate.


With real estate becoming widely accepted and an enjoyable topic, there are thousands of books and television shows pertaining to it.  The most popular real estate television segment is HGTV.  People who never thought of real estate as more than just their personal home will enjoy this television channel.  It simplifies the real estate process into entertainment.  Along with the entertainment value, HGTV brings basic knowledge to the viewers.  I enjoy watching the various shows because it allows me to see real estate operations from all over the world.  It is not limited to large cities or one specific country.  From watching these shows, I know what cities and countries I would like to invest my time and effort.


The opportunities are really endless and I will continue to post on different areas that I find interesting.

  2. I really wish I knew more about real estate, I have thought about investing in a condo or townhome, but I am just afraid that in today's market, I would never really see a profit from it.
